dolorous interludes.

Valentine's Day

wasn't a particularly happy one- sent gen off this evening, and i feel strangely empty. I'm beginning to really dislike the airport. too many memories, too many sad ones. I suppose they begin to be sad when you compare your relationships with those people before and after such departures- it changes with distance, as much as i'd hate to admit it. It's how we manage the different degrees of change that makes the difference i suppose. On retrospect, perhaps today wasn't too bad, besides having to nurse the fever and wait an hour at the doctor's. I got to spend a good two hours with my girlfriend at Changi- talking, as the trail of orange lights along the roads led us along. I think, it is only during these moments that one realises what truly matters, or perhaps, what could make us happy. or happier. She's found certainty in what she wants in life, or at least, for the next few years; I have found certainty in what i want to achieve, and where my heart lies. (for now).

I can't answer how, or why, but there are some things in life one just knows. Time may change a bit of each of us, but the heart knows. and when the heart knows, the heart waits. and hopes.

Here's another for You.

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

It's such a relief that Valentine's is nearly over somehow.
