Take the time before it takes you
Play the game and never cheat
Say I love you with a smile
To the ones you can’t forget
Take the time before it takes you
Sing aloud and keep the beat
Say I love you, make it ring
And they’ll sing with you, I bet
Take the time before it takes you
To the ones you’ll never meet
Say I love you once again
And your time you won’t regret.
It’s always worth it to take the time. š

After 30 years of saying the words but not giving it my 100% I finally decided to take the chance to suffer, to be humiliated, to be abandonned and in return I got love. I can proudly say today that I am with girl I have never cheated and always gave her all I had, the best of me. Maybe she cheated on me, maybe not….It doesn’t matter. What matters is if she dumps me, I will be able to say that I gave her all I got and I took the chance and I lost BUT it won’t be my fault. I will have a clear conscience and I won’t be the one responsable for OUR downfall. We all know deep inside that when we cheat on the person we love and that we had worn to be faithfull, wether the other persons finds out or not, the guilt will takje us apart… And strangely enough it will be because we have cheated on a person we reall love and the guilt will sabotage the relationship… Love will take us apart..again… I did that for so long that when I really felt I had found my soulmate, I had to try to be 100% faithfull and give it all I got… Unfortunately I feel (it’s just a feeling though and this time it is not a refelction of my own guilt) that she wasn’t faithfull cuz she just can’t feel the same thing I feel from her. I told her to not drift away because she cheated on me if she did…That it’s ok as long as it’s an isolated event. That I understand. She denied but when you have been with someone for 8 years, you sure can tell when something os off…. I am curious to see the outcome. Being on the other side of the mirror made me reflect on my own past and betrayals… I have missed such God given opportunities for lust…. It will never happen again. I have found out that one can only reach true love only by giving it your 100%. There are no in betweens with love. You have to jumop in and take chances, expose yourself, let the other see who you really are because in teh end our true selves always resurface… Otherwise your life is alie and you won’t feel loved…Others and the one you love will love an image you give that is not you. How can you feel loved truly then?? Such simple stories as the Little Prince when he talks to his new found friend the Fox take all their meaning…. There. I exposed myself pretty much here and feel I will be taken for a fool if I discover I have been cheated on over and over but who will be the real loser in the end??? No one… It is not the point when you really love someone and the other just can’t be intimate and honest with you 100% after 8 years and you part because of the LUST…We both loose… Only I will have lost a bit of pride too but pride.. Does it matter that much when you really think about it…. I hope my Englaish was good enough so that you understand what I meant to say here. May you all find true love and keep it alive until death… I am not married but truly committed. I just don’t believe in mariage.. Mariage to me is a contract… Love is not a contract, it’s a gift you give, willingly, without holding anything back. Enuff said! Peace Out!

I’m in my bed, reading your moving words. They are soaked into a kind of inspiring, proud melancholy. There is always a price to pay for loving at 100%, but God knows it’s worth it. I have been there, maybe I’m still there indeed, in love with my soulmate. Months have passed since we last met, months of anything that goes between denial and acceptance, stepping ahead and back, again and again. What I feel now is a kind of peace and gratefulness for all it gave me is a treasure of feelings I will cherish forever. I am not better now, but I feel more complete. Guess what? I am wearing my Joy Division tee shirt right now… Not a coincidence, no, not at all. Much love my friend, HC

I think you reach a point at which you feel that it is ok to be sad. It’s just life does not look like a pharmacy were everything is in order and properly stamped…One has to accept I guess that it’s more like a forest… I use that figure of speech a lot because I struggle so often with it. Life has its order in this disorder and everything happens for a reason… We just don’t have the whole picture..yet… And I think I won’t before the day I die. It’s just so much easier when one realise you just have to go with the flow, see what happens… Never lose faith… Lou Reed once said in a song: ”You need a busload of Faith to get by”… HELL YEAH!! BTW I have an About Me page its just under a different title. To Be/Not To Be. I think it’s in my best posts and pages list… I bet you’re curious .. š

Sorry I realize that it seems pretentious… I just wanted to be more open about me. And I just basicly meant that when one door closes another one ALWAYS opens… And maybe that door isn’t even close… Just go with the flow!!

First of all a huge thank you for your words *blushes* then I read your About this morning during my first coffee, so I need to read it again š No, you’re not pretentious at all and you should be proud about who you are (and what you write). I’ve always been a music listener and I am much into progressive rock these days (listening Hand Cannot Erase by Steven Wilson right now, worth a listen if you like the genre š ) and I’d like I could write about music like you do… About the forest, I think it’s a matter of accepting to get lost into it and enjoy the nature. Well, there would be so much to say… Thinking of your words, I picked up this one today. I hope you’l like it: https://youtu.be/zPHzknP7jNQ

Hey my friend, the show was great (see a few lines about it on my blog) and the whole weekend too š I committed FBicide a few months ago, some of my acquaintances had started to be a bit too intrusive about my life and I was getting a bit too obsessed by some others’ one. Well, to make a long story short, I won’t be back there, nor on Twitter or other social places like that. I still adore exchanges, but I do prefer my blog or email: flaming262 at gmail dot com.
