If I Could Tell You
Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play,
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
There are no fortunes to be told, although,
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.
The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
Suppose the lions all get up and go,
And all the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will time say nothing but I told you so?
If I could tell you I would let you know.
W.H Auden
It seems that's not all there is.
My greatest gift is my greatest folly but I just wanna feel true.
"Giving means extending one's love with no conditions, no expectations, no boundaries.
Peace of mind occurs, therefore when we put all our attention into giving and have no desire to get anything from, or to change another person.
The giving motivation leads to a sense of inner peace and joy that is unrelated to time"
G.G Jampolsky
I failed this once before. Now I'm doing it unnoticed and unacknowledged and I think I like it better that way.
Your little brother (real little, the other one's older than me) told me today that "sometimes people have to grow up before they can sort out arguments"& "sometimes you can realise something but you don't wanna admit it" & "maybe when you are 30 it will be okay"
I don't think so. I will not be filled with hatred and you seem to know no other way, maybe when you're 30.
