The Rose

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose

This song was played over THE saucy poppy bubblegum tv show and it struck a note in my memory that chimes till now. I can't remember when was the last time I heard this song. Oh, it should be the one time when the Taiwanese tv series The Rose ( or something ) became so famous and this should be in the soundtrack then. Perhaps.

Another off-topic note, I have been seeking a platform to mitigate and pent out all my frustrations and thoughts and even concluded that blog is the worst solution ever ( as what I usually commented on others' emo posts). Well, writing something here that might shoot back at you is just @)(*#$(&%$(* as you do not know who is reading. So, think about it, this is just terrifying yet thrilling for me, which I love. Since I made so many plans for this blog and never stick to one, we'll see what fits into my should-not-be-busy-but-turns-out-busy-all-the-time schedule.

Lastly, huge congratulations to J.A. for finally confirming her wedding dates! :) This post is for you. Probably, this is the most personal post ever, for the past year or two. Here you go.

To all the non-believers, let's just stay put.
