Alicia

"No One"

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

old friends

I don't know why I'm feeling a little jaded.
I guess it's my choice of music.
Most old friends I have got back in touch with have enjoyed sharing memories.
One didn't seem to want to.
Everyone else but me have been allowed. Why not me? Why do they remember it differently?
We were good friends. All 4 of us. I'm so glad I had good friends in high school. Because of where we moved to. My first 2 years of high school were not so fun. It was not cool to be doing pretty well. Everyone was so friendly and accepting.
Why is is a little marred by this. Like it didn't mean anything?

Im extremely content with my lot in life. This is just bugging me today.

when somebody loves you...everything is beautiful


when you wake in the morning to someone holding you tight, telling you that you are wonderful and that they love you...thats a good feeling.

When all is right with that person..the world is a brighter place.

It's no fun being sick.

Well since last Thursday (a whole week ago) I had a chesty cough kinda thingy. By Tuesday I was shivering despite the car heater being on full and my glands and throat were so painful. Too painful to speak. And barely swallow.

It's so frustrating.

This is my second day off. I miss my kids. I miss feeling well. I'm frustrated that there is stuff i REALLY need to be doing in school but I can't. I literally can't.

In the USA we teachers are entitled to one sick day per month eg 10 days a year. So unlike the UK you really have to use them carefully. I literally could not help being sick. (ill) It is impossible to teach with no voice!

Im seeing a slight improvement today and Im hoping to be in tomorrow.

Music to decorate the tree by...


Is what I heard on the radio tonight as i zoomed to the grocery store to get cheese.

The radio is full of Christmas tunes, I usually have a not til Dec 1st rule.

School is crazy busy but I love it...

Have got lots of post from home this week including an advent calendar, some crocs (YES crocs) and a parcel I'm not allowed to open til thanksgiving! How exciting!

It was the coldest it's been this morning. I need to buy a scarf!

We will be spending Christmas in New York, just the two of us. Magic!!

The photo is from uptown Charlotte. I love rainbow colours. COLOURS!

Evanescence Forgive Me Lyrics
Songwriters: N/A

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyxjtZXIvi4

Can you forgive me again
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you

I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurts so much to hurt you

Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken

I'd give anything now
To kill those words for you
Each time I say something I regret
I cry I don't want to lose you
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah!

'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me, Oh!

I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive
So stay with me
You look in my eyes
And I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry [sorry]

[Ooh I'm sorry]

And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you.

I've hurt myself...

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything
I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything
I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

If I had just one more day,
I would tell you how much thatI've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything
I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you
