New meaning

Its odd, there are songs and cds that you know really well, that you have listened to over and over and over again, and then something happens in your life and well those songs or cds just aren't the same anymore... They gain new meaning and may have once cheered you up but now sadden you, or ones that were just pretty to listen to and were taken with a grain of salt now have much more depth than you could ever imagine them having.

I am supposed to be working on my take home exam.. And I am, but I needed a bit of a break so I took a hot shower, nothing like a hot shower to relieve stress and wash away anything that ails you... So I put a CD in my CD player as I often do when I take a shower, I've never been one for silence... So I put in the CD Mirrorball by Sarah Mclachlan. This is one of those CD that I can normally listen to to forget and take my mind away from whatever is bothering me... But not this time, the entire CD has taken on a new meaning, and I still love the songs, but there is now this sadness that accompanies the songs...

I Love You

I have a smile
Stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the road

We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
The world around disappears

Just you and me
On this island of hope
A breath between us could be miles

Let me surround you
My sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek

Oh and every time I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away

And I forgot
To tell you
I love you
And the night's
Too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the strength to say I need you so

Oh and every time I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away

And I forgot
To tell you
I love you
And the night's
Too long
And cold here
Without you
