Was about to log off for the night, then got this in an email, so I logged back in to put it in here before I forgot.

She Thinks His Name Was John
(Sandy Knox, Steve Rosen)

She can account for all of the men in her past
Where they are now, who they married, how many kids they have
She knew their backgrounds, family and friends
A few she even talks to now and then
But there is one she can't put her finger on
There is one who never leaves her thoughts
And she thinks his name was John
A chance meeting, a party a few years back
Broad shoulders and blue eyes, his hair was so black
He was a friend of a friend you could say
She let his smile just sweep her away
And in her heart she knew it was wrong
But too much wine and she left his bed at dawn
And she thinks his name was John
Now each day is one day that's left in her life
She won't know love, have a marriage or sing lullabies
She lays all alone and cries herself to sleep
'Cause she let a stranger kill her hopes and her dreams
And all her friends say what a pity what a loss
And in the end when she was barely hanging on
All she could say is she thinks his name was John

*blinks* Honestly, I have more than any sane person should. *sweatdrop* So...I figured I'd post a few here! Yay! blaugh


"Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...

You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." ~ Rose Walker


Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone. ~ C.S. Lewis

I love humanity but I hate people. ~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him, their own selves, their version of him. ~ Goethe

On reflection, one of the things I needed to learn was to allow myself to be loved. ~ Isha McKenzie-Mavinga
