Memento mori - Mea Maxima Culpa

Vita brevis breviter in brevi finietur,
Mors venit velociter quae neminem veretur,
Omnia mors perimit et nulli miseretur.
Ad mortem festinamus peccare desistamus.

Life is short, and shortly it will end;
Death comes quickly and respects no one,
Death destroys everything and takes pity on no one.
To death we are hastening, let us refrain from sinning.

Ni conversus fueris et sicut puer factus
Et vitam mutaveris in meliores actus,
Intrare non poteris regnum Dei beatus.
Ad mortem festinamus peccare desistamus.

If you do not turn back and become like a child,
And change your life for the better,
You will not be able to enter, blessed, the Kingdom of God.
To death we are hastening, let us refrain from sinning.

From A Certain Death, I shall keep you

I always thought that when I found you, I've found the perfect place to start, straight from your heart, to live life as it can be lived, to be together for as long time would allow. To always be happy and contented and to remember to give instead of just receiving. My ears would often pick up a symphony of truth and secrets whenever I hear your voice. Like a candle lit up in a cold dark room, every fibre of my being is set aflame as if an entire rainforest has come alive, trigging the exclusive revolution of life and metamorphosis. I would hold your hand for the longest time so I could savor every touch and remember how warm you felt. I would undress you with my eyes as soon as you come in sight. And that much, I am not ashamed to say.

If only you could hear me it.

Now that we're lying on the ground, the darkened stormy skies over our heads and time running short, I wonder if I would ever do this again, if I could ever see you and feel you next to me. Clasped firmly together our hands, I am keeping you away from death. I do not want you to leave. I do not want to have to try to live. After you're gone, I would be too. At least that was what I told myself. But when you did left me, you left me also with a gift. Something I sure you were convinced of will sustain and pull me through. Words you have whispered in my ears before time slipped out. A bundle of letters written with your heart when we were broken up, and the memories of times we've had, the invaluable lessons you have imparted and your smile...the color of your eyes, the way your brows knitted together when you're deeply in concentration etc. It is a list, trust me. :)

Where do you come from? From the rain? Do you need a place to fall apart? I'm right here.

Always here.

忘了

跟我走吧　晒晒太阳
打开窗　忘记时间

痛快的玩 放肆的笑　现在的季节该喧闹
就忘了遗憾　也忘了自卑
看你的笑脸　多么的美

跟我走吧　放下牵挂
穿上鞋大步奔跑　也张开双臂
追逐甜美　起伏的心情适合爱恋

忘了受过的伤　忘了心碎
看你的眼睛　渴望去飞

跟我走吧　发现梦想
深呼吸　想起遥远失落的热情 挥洒的心　
你有多少未实现的梦　

忘了犯过的错
别再自责　
就忘了那些 有没有　是不是　对不对

跟著我走向前　走进世界
忘了曾经黑夜　阳光就要出现

Is it Over Now?

Is it over now?
Do we really have to say goodbye
Doesn't mean that we cant talk anymore
Cause I still love you so
Cause I didn't mean to break your heart
If you only knew why I had to let you go

Is it over now?
Feels like it's the end of the world
I don't really want to try to get over you
Cause I still see your face
Feel your breathe everywhere I go
Don't think I'll ever find someone just like you

Thought we could last
Be together forever
But we didn't last
We sure did put up a fight
Now it hurts so bad with you out of my life
Is it really over now?

Guess its over now
I'm sitting here all alone
Someone is knocking but it won't be you at my door

Letting go is never easy
I have been learning it the hard way
I've been counting every minute and second since the day you left

Thought we could have last
Be together forever
But we didn't last
We sure did put up a fight
Now it hurts so bad with you out of my life
Is it really over now?
Is it really over now?

Why do you think people are so attracted to things and people that aren't really that good for them, at all? Why is that they could never just walk away, instead run willingly into that person's embrace just so they could be hurt just that little bit more?



The various messes on the floor, glass shards painted the debris of a relationship that could have been.

How conveniently they forget

And the extent I remember.

Do What You Have To Do

What ravages of spirit
Conjured this temptuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rules of love

And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do ...

And I have the sense to recognize that
I don't know how to let you go

Every moment marked
With apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire

The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do

But I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how
To let you go
I don't know how
To let you go

A glowing ember
Burning hot
Burning slow
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you

I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do

And I have sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go
