Communication. It’s the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real, too. They live inside us. And sometimes, they win.

once i loved
damien rice

once i loved
and i gave so much love to this love
It was the world to me

once i cried
at the thought i was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye

then one day
from my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
now, now i know
that no matter whatever befalls
i’ll never let you go
i will hold you close, night and day
because love is the saddest thing when it goes away

remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. live it, feel it, cling to it. i want to become acutely aware of all i’ve taken for granted.
