One More Time, One More Chance

How much more do I have to lose, before my heart is forgiven?
How many more pains do I have to suffer, to meet you once again?
One more time, oh seasons, fade not
One more time, when we were messing around

Whenever we disagreed, I would always give in first
Your selfish nature made me love you even more
One more chance, the memories restrain my steps
One more chance, I cannot choose my next destination

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
On the opposite platform, in the windows along the lane
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side right away
There would be nothing I couldn’t do
I would put everything on the line and hold you tight
________________________________________
If I just wanted to avoid loneliness, anybody would have been enough.
Because the night looks like the stars will fall, I cannot lie to myself.
One more time, oh seasons, fade not.
One more time, when we were messing around

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
At a street crossing, in the midst of dreams
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If a miracle were to happen here, I would show you right away
The new morning, who I’ll be from now on
And the words I never said: “I love you.”
________________________________________
The memories of summer are revolving
The throbbing which suddenly disappeared

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
At dawn on the streets, at Sakuragi-cho
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side right away
There would be nothing I couldn’t do
I would put everything on the line and hold you tight

I’m always searching, for fragments of you to appear somewhere
At a traveller’s store, in the corner of newspaper,
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If a miracle were to happen here, I would show you right away
The new morning, who I’ll be from now on
And the words I never said: “I love you.”

I always end up looking for your smile, to appear somewhere
At the railroad crossing, waiting for the express to pass
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If our lives could be repeated, I would be at your side every time
I would want nothing else
Besides you, nothing else matters

Eventually, you move on, but sometimes you remember, and you wonder.

While I was out

There was a post here, but it wasn’t up to my impossibly high standards, so here’s that meme I’ve been tagged for:

Ten Facts. Random facts.

1. I am 21. No, really.
2. Yes, UH, I can speak English.
3. This is my 3 institute of higher learning (if CAE can be included, hah) and I’m trying to get into a fourth. My friend suggests I also try for a fifth.
4. I’ve alternated tabs between this “Write Post” page and D’s page where I was tagged. For some reason I think there’s more to look at outside of “Write ten random facts about you lolololo.” Hm.
5. Okay, I’ve stopped doing #4.
6. The current time is 8:31pm
7. Wait, facts about myself?
8. I’m going to ACL in September and want to go to the Nightwish concert the Friday before that in Houston.
9. Ten is alot, but I’ve already invested my time in nine plus the post that I deleted and replaced with the meme.
10. Ten.

I tag *

Funny how that’s probably less than five.

Culture Shock #1

Some things you kinda forget after awhile… I forgot how large the portions were here. Mm, food.

But of course…

To make up for the lack of crying children on the plane, my nephews are incredibly loud in most everything that involves their mouths opening.

Jetlag (1)

Here.

I have made it safely to the North American continent. The count is aprox. 2 crying children, which is pretty decent if you ask me.

The Best Facial Expression Award goes to the kid who was walking down to sit at the gate (to wait for boarding) and having to do a 360 because his family (parents, him and little brother) went to board first because of his little brother. He was incredibly annoyed. I was amused.

“Now find something to swing. We still gotta pwnz to t3h door and get your grrl.”

Insomnia (2)

Hm. Up again and had actually gone through the same thought process as my previous post without realizing it. I figured that was noteworthy somehow.

Dying a little inside

Doughface: [audible gasp] ‘If that computer’s only two weeks old, how are you checking your e-mails from November?!’ [Makes ‘gotcha’ face.]
Me: ‘Wait. What?! These are on the internet. They aren’t on my computer.’
Doughface: ‘You just said it was two weeks old, but those e-mails say November!’ [Gotcha Face intensifies to David Caruso Face]
Me: ‘Internet!’
Doughface: ‘If it’s only two weeks old –’
Me: Internet.

Oh my.
