Spiral

I remember one scene from Mr & Mrs Smith or was it another movie in which one party said.."We are separated by the world of things we do not say to each other." (something along those lines)

How do things get worse between people? Because things that should have been said and done were not and those that were should not have been said or done, were committed instead?

There were times why I wondered why and how things got so bad. There were also times I was asked why and how it got so bad. I never had it got this bad. I have heard stories where things never got this bad. Sometimes I am envious. In a way I could claim some responsibility but most of the time, I do not really have the answers myself. I hate to be the only one wondering so I accepted it as it was.

It's said that one should communicate. Sometimes it hurts us the most when you see the people you care about the most lose their souls. What if the thing you wish to communicate is so hard to say? What if you knew the thing you wanted to say would not be heard? What if you knew the thing you wanted to say will hurt? Will you still want to communicate?

Anyway, a simple, moving song...

Always On Your Side
- Sheryl Crow & Sting

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Leavin' all the traces of the man you thought you'd be
Leavin' me with no place left to go from here
Leavin' me so many questions all these years

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side

Yes. I will.

So that both know whats going on. You'll be surprised that something which you think should be so obvious and apparent could be completely lost/misinterpreted by another.

Eh! You coming out with us tonight?? You should check out the lineup Junyu got.. quite scandalous! Hahaha..
