Regret Not a Minute of Your Life

When things do not turn out the way you want them to, would the things that you have done be mistakes then? Surely not. There was no way you could have known then what you know now. There is no way to get to the fullness you feel from having eaten the entire loaf of bread without having to go through each slice?

lol...cheezy, I know. Heard that from somewhere before...

In the movies, we always hear of people throwing caution to the wind while pursuing a passion that will not be denied. In happy movies, they always end up together. In sad ones, one of them dies, leaving the other to suffer the fate of eternal loneliness.

So then in all fairness, I do not think that anyone can accuse me of not following my heart. While my story this time has a sad ending, there are no regrets. Perhaps I will be more cautious in the future, not wearing my heart on my sleeves. There is a difference between being open/receptive and being vulnerable. Some form of barrier is always necessary for the sake of sanity.

On to the next challenge, shall we?

You're Beautiful - James Blunt

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
