Love Remains The Same

I should be sleeping or finishing up my essay that is due for this Friday, but I can't do either. My heart is pierced with the words from someone I long so much for but whose letters I cannot deal with. My mind plays before my eyes recent memories of which you're no further than 30 meters away, tossing your hair, resting your head on your hand, standing up adjusting your belt. Desmond asked if I would be more comfortable if DG was held somewhere else. I lied and said I would be fine where we were.



Every time I hear this song, a sudden wave of bittersweet emotion just overwhelms me. The lyrics are written with much simplicity and honesty. It was also the OST of the only movie we ever watched together, about how the love of two matured people lost in the pain of their past came together and gave one another the will to survive. I wanted to watch it because I thought that Richard Gere was pretty cool and I'm a huge sucker for movies of the romantic genre. Well, "Nights in Rodanthe" wasn't exactly the best movie I've watched, but it will be remembered because of the beautiful girl seated beside me cuddling my arm throughout most of the show, smiling reassuringly whenever I looked to see if she's cold.

Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains The Same

A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like a lunar landing
You make me want to run till I find you
I shut the world away from here
I drift to you, you're all I hear
As everything we know fades to black

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same

I find a place where we escape
Take you with me for the space
The city buzz sounds just like a fridge
I walk the streets through seven bars
I have to find just where you are
The faces seem to blur
They're all the same

So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me out
We shall overcome
It's all left still to play

We should've had the sun
Could have been inside
Instead we're over here

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time too long defending
You and I are done pretending

I never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything will change

I, oh I,
I wish this could last forever
I, oh I,
As if we could last forever

Love remains the same
Love remains the same

When a guy tells you that you're beautiful, don't say that you aren't. Remember that he hates to be told that he's wrong too. -Valentino Casanova
