THIS MONTH'S FEATURED POEM from Pablo Neruda



I DO NOT LOVE YOU EXCEPT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU


I do not love you except because I love you
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

-- Pablo Neruda--

R for Romeo



(see full lyrics below)

Waiting for my Romeo

Not all love stories would have a happy ending. What's important is that we know how to stand up each time we fall no matter how we feel helpless and desperate. We also need to learn to leave the painful things behind, and to always remember the lessons we learn from each heartbreak.

Life is not perfect. If it was, it would be boring. It's not going to be a life worth living. Let's not dwell on the past, and just be hopeful that our Romeo (or Juliet) is out there, waiting for the right place and the right time to offer us the Happy Ending that we all deserve.



LOVE STORY
by Taylor Swift



Lyrics | Love Story lyrics

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

(see lyrics below)

Love, Luck, and Destiny

Being able to find the one for us - is it choice, is it luck, or is it destiny? Sometimes, it is a mixture of all three, but most of the time it is because we choose and we decide to love that person.

Most people are luckier than others - lucky because they happen to be at the right place and at the right time, and lucky that the person they love are willing to love them back. Destiny, on the other hand, still remains to be based on someone's perspective and beliefs. Bottomline: we choose to believe that the one we love is the one destined to be with us for the rest of our lives.

Love is a choice. Life is a choice. We cannot control what other people would think or say or do, but we definitely have a choice as to how we would react. We have a choice to be happy, we have a choice to stay in love or to move on. We have a choice as to whether we would love someone or let that person go.

Once the choice is made, we should still consider ourselves lucky that we have found someone to love, and luckier if that person chooses to love us back.


LUCKY
by Jason Mraz featuring Colbie Caillat





Lyrics | Lucky lyrics


(Songwriters: Caillat, Colbie Marie; Fagen, Timothy James; Mraz, Jason Thomas)

Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying
Yeah I hear you in my dreams
I hear your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, fell the air
I put a flower in your hair
And though the breeze is through trees ???
Move so pretty you're all I see
Let the world keep spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Overjoyed - Sitti Navarro


The Joys of Falling in Love

Love makes the world a brighter place. Not everyone might agree, but most of the time, being in love inspires us to be the best in what we do. Love allows us to do things that we never thought possible. Loves makes us forget about whining over our problems. Loving someone helps us appreciate our blessings and strive for what we want, not just for ourselves, but also for our loved one.

This song is about loving someone without hoping for anything in return. It's about the joy of being with someone, and being able to take care of someone, and being happy about it, even if we are not sure if the other person feels the same way. It's about being a friend, a sister or brother, a mother, a confidant, an advisor -- practically anything or anyone our love one needs at the time. It is about how we would be able to live a happy life which we can eventually share with someone who wants to do the same. It talks about hope, about patience, and about the idea that ANYTHING is possible when you are in love.


(To the Coffee Club, this one's for you, for hope, and for love. I love you guys!)


Lyrics | Overjoyed lyrics


Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I've sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you

Linger



(see full lyrics below)

There's nothing much I can say right now. It's just that this song makes me remember how wonderful it is to be in love. At the same time, though, the song also makes me realize how we can sometimes be foolish or stupid when we're in love.


LINGER
by The Cranberries

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
And I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong
I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you

And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to. do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

We Give In Sometimes




(see full lyrics below)

Why Give In?

Sometimes, love makes us do things that we never imagined we can do. We can be whoever we need to be - a friend, a lover, a critique, an adviser - as long as we know that this would make our loved one happy. We can do whatever we need to do - ace exams, excel in our field of work, travel miles just to be with our loved one, hurt someone else. Sometimes, what we do for love is good. But sometimes, we learn to break the rules.

Loving someone can be a good feeling. It can also be something that we don't want to do, because it defies all rules and it is not in the best interest of everyone. But we have to accept that sometimes, it's just how love is, and the only thing we choose to do is to give in to what we feel.


WE GIVE IN SOMETIMES
by Up Dharma Down


hear my first confession
lingering intentions
bringing us both
to different directions
so take what you can

and take me where I wanna be
any place will do
learn the tricks of fire
i apologise but i'm gonna have to take me with you

learn the tricks of fire
and wash yourself with it
learn the tricks of fire
and wash yourself with it

feel the sand in between your toes
nobody has to know
the pleasure that you take
in every step that you make
harbor it all the way

take me to a place
i wanna go
i have survived in defeat
do you know the tricks of fire
i apologise
but i'm takin me with you

i badly, badly need to burn
i badly need to burn
learn the tricks of fire
and wash yourself with it
learn the tricks of fire
and wash yourself with it

sand and the sea
meet in between
fire and ice
you and i
meet in between
you and i
fire and ice
sand and the se

What Would You Do For Love?



(see full lyrics below)


Being in love is a wonderful feeling. Yet, there are times that we need to make sacrifices for the one we love. But, have you asked yourself this question once, twice, or countless times: how much are you willing to sacrifice? Would you be willing to do anything just to make sure you make your loved one happy? Are you even willing to give up that person, knowing that in the end, setting that person free will be the best gift you can give him?

It's hard to answer this question hypothetically. We will only know what to do when the moment comes. For me, I can say that I am willing to do anything for the one I love - even SAY GOODBYE - if I know that it would be the only thing that can make him happy.



ANYTHING FOR YOU
Gloria Estefan (Miami Sound Machine)

Anything for you
Though youre not here
Since you said were through
It seems like years
Time keeps draggin on and on
And forevers been and gone
Still I cant figure what went wrong

Id still do anything for you
Ill play your game
You hurt me through and through
But you can have your way

I can pretend each time I see you
That I dont care and I dont need you
And though youll never see me cryin
You know inside I feel like dying
And Id do anything for you
In spite of it all
Ive learned so much from you
You made me strong
But dont you ever think that I dont love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things dont work out right
And you just have to say goodbye

I hope you find somone to please you
Somone wholl care and never leave you
But if that someone ever hurts you
You just might need a friend to turn to

And Id do anything for you
Ill give you up
If thats what I should do
To make you happy

I can pretend each time I see you
That I dont care and I dont need you
And though inside I feel like dying
You know youll never see me crying

Dont you ever think that I dont love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things dont work out right
And you just have to say goodbye
