love

what can i say, the things love can do to us are really quite incredible. no matter how many times we tell ourselves that 'it couldn't get any better than this', love always finds a way to make us feel like we've never felt before. it brings out the beauty in things in which said beauty may not be apparent to those who choose not to love. love is what makes us who we are, may that be love or the lack of it. in my opinion;

life is not life without love.

in a nutshell:

when you try your best, but you don't succeed
when you get what you want, but not what you need
when you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
stuck in reverse

and the tears come streaming down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
when you love someone, but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you

and high up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
if you never try you'll never know
just what you're worth

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you

tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
tears stream down your face
and i...

tears stream down your face
i promise you i will learn from my mistakes
tears stream down your face
and i...

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you.

?

the last thing i would ever want to do is give you the satisfaction of knowing you've hurt me.

but,

you've won.

i hope you're happy.

yes we can.

''now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in america; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the american story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -

yes we can.''
