listening to: across the universe - fiona apple
thinking about: the tears that should fall from my eyes any second


Fiona Apple is a fantastic singer. Simply brilliant. Do give the above track, as well as "Paper Bag" a listen during your time off, provided you have any.

You sit beside her as though you are strangers. The only ties that bind you together are those that have, perhaps, entangled you for years gone by. If she hesitates to speak, she only does it so she can hum to the songs of silence, with you.

Your heart is beating in your chest so hard it almost makes you sweat. You still love her. You will always love her. You try to hide it with your words, but you forget one thing - your eyes. Why do I see a flame in your eyes when you're around her? I don't see it light up - it's always there, whether she's in front of you or not. She surrounds you. She is within you.

Why do you keep it in you? Why let it consume your soul, your very existence?

Let those tears, which sit so impatiently in your eyes, let them fall. Let them be tears of joy, of happinness, of accomplishment.

Speak the words which live as fantasies in her mind, before she leaves you in this turmoil.

With only me by your side.
