listening to: shower me with your love - surface; nothing's gonna stop us now - starship

i never stop loving

i never found liking people to be a difficult thing,
and maybe lots of times, i don't find loving people to be a difficult thing either -
nor do i make any excuses for that.
i like to think that everyone's capacity to love is exceptionally and immensely great.

but finding that One person at the end of the day is a different kettle of fish, a whole new thing altogether.

sometimes i hate to think that, maybe why i like someone all boils down to pheremones - the way someone smells; or just the way someone looks; or a particular incident occurring at a certain moment in time. sounds romantic? i do believe that, but at the same time it could so easily have gone the other way - you say something wrong at the wrong time, and the opportunity passes you by, because 'the moment' didn't happen.

so many variables: personality, outlook on life, where one's standing in one's life journey, circumstances, distance, the busy-ness of everyday life... they all tend to get in the way.

maybe that's why i've always been so intent on finding the one person who is sure; someone who can appreciate all the beautiful randomness and coincidences in life, but will also stubbornly stick around and work at it, always believing that tomorrow can be a better day.

maybe i've tried too hard and too many times, such that it's tough for anyone to believe they are special anymore.

...
fairy tales, they do sometimes come true
if you believe, it could happen to you
like the stars that shine way up in the sky
our love will live forever...

shower me with your love
shower me with the love that i long for
shower me with your love
shower me with the love i've been waiting for...
...

let them say we're crazy
i don't care about that
put your hand in my hand baby
don't ever look back

let the world around us just fall apart
baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

and we can build this dream together
standing strong forever
nothing's gonna stop us now...
