Diary Entry 19.
Chasing the Wind
Who knew the day would come where I would come to understand love songs? Depressing love songs about heartbreaks? Not just being able to hear the words being sung, but understanding the actual emotions and sensations behind the lyrics.
Wish it didn’t have to be this way but
You and I will spin the world to make love
Good bye my friend
Hello heartache
Who knew I would be able to find companionship for my failed love in a love song?
Please wrap your drunken arms around me
And I’ll let you call me yours tonight
‘Cause slightly broken’s just what I need
And if you give what I want
Then I’ll give you what you like
Why did I not realise sooner that it was during the times when alcohol got the better of you that you needed me the most, that you reached out to me the most? It was only then that you would need me.
Please tell me I’m your one and only
Or lie and say at least tonight
I’ve got a brand new cure for lonely
And if you give me what I want
I’ll give you what you like
During those nights you made me feel like I owned the world, like I had everything I needed. But somewhere along the line, I became aware of how you would never be mine, that your heart had no space for me.
When you turn off the lights
I get stars in my eyes
Is this love?
Maybe someday
So don’t turn on the lights
