Goodbyes

Well, i was listening to Whitney's music this morning and I heard this song once again:

I Know Him So Well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally

Perfect situations must go wrong

But this has never yet prevented me

From wanting far too much for far too long

Looking back, I could have done it differently

Won a few more moments, who can tell?

But it took time to understand the man

Now at least I know, I know him well

Wasn't it good, Wasn't it fine

Isn't it madness he can't be mine

But in the end, he needs a little more than before

Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly

No one is completely on your side

And though I move my world to be with him

Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back, I could have played it differently

Learned about the man before I fell

But I was ever so much younger then

Now at least, I know, I know him well

Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (so fine)

Isn't it madness he can't be mine

Didn't I know how it would go

If I knew from the start

Why am I falling apart

That song almost always makes me cry whenever I hear it. For one, the lyrics are too sad and it could happen to anyone you know. Hindi lang boyfriend or girlfriend, pwedeng sa friend or family. I was particularly hit by the two stanzas (naka-italics)...Haha! I guess, nagiging masyado na akong malulungkutin...
I've read two emails this morning. One made me somewhat happy, the other made me somewhat sad. I guess, you really can't have everything you want and try as you might to hold on to something (or someone, for that matter), may mga bagay talaga na dapat mong pakawalan...not because you want to but because you have to...
