    Can I steal from Sting?

    The book of my life -- Sting

    Let me watch by the fire and remember my days
    And it may be a trick of the firelight
    But the flickering pages that trouble my sight
    Is a book I'm afraid to write

    It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life
    And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife
    And it's all there to see as the section reveals
    There's some sorrow in every life

    If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze
    Then I won't understand 'til the end of my days
    I'm still forced to remember,
    Remember the words of my life

    There are promises broken and promises kept
    Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept
    There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess
    If I lose everything that I possess
    There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die
    There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry
    There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies.
    Though the pages are numbered
    I can't see where they lead
    For the end is a mystery no-one can read

    In the book of my life
    There's a chapter on mothers a chapter on daughters (he says fathers and sons but, well, i'm not a son...)
    There are pages of conflicts that nobody won
    And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,
    There's a page where we fail to meet
    There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned
    There's a chapter on god that I don't understand
    There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see
    Though the pages are numbered
    I can't see where they lead
    For the end is a mystery no-one can read
    In the book of my life

    Now the daylight's returning
    And if one sentence is true
    All these pages are burning
    And all that's left is you

    Though the pages are numbered
    I can't see where they lead
    For the end is a mystery no-one can read
    In the book of my life

        Short, sweet, to the point?

        In every aspect of my life...

        I love. I have loved. I will love.

        I edited the unabridged version I had before because I felt that was too much talking about myself....

          I think we have more in common than you probably realize.

            Well, it's always good to hear there are others like that out there. Good. =) I don't presume i'm the only one like this, but sometimes when I look around I don't see very many people who would agree with me that life should be lived like that. To each his own, right?

              PUT your face on the burning sand on the earth of road,since all those who are wounded by love must have the imprint on their face, and the scar must be seen... scar of love ( Farid Ud_Din Attar)

                Something like that. I admit there was a double meaning in my previous message but I realized that it's not really worth any thought.

                  Just because I didn't comment on it, doesn't mean I didn't see that that sentence had about 289503 interpretations to it. =) As for the double meaning YOU were going for that isn't worth any thought, well just by saying that you've made me give it a little extra thought and I'm sure what I think up is probably more than what you meant, but, anyway. I know.

                    Huh?
