Other People's Songs.

[Raz]

I'll never find someone quite like you again.
I'll never find someone quite like you again.
It was hard to leave.
You found a part of me that I didn't know I still had. The atrophy wasn't complete. The atrophy wasn't really even atrophy, it was just a disguise.
You told me that I hold no darkness, and I thought you were wrong. I still question how right you are, but I can see myself now as you do. That's what you gave me. You gave me the ability to see myself and not just my flaws.
I'll never find someone quite like you again.

I ran through the forest, I ran through the trees. I ran and I ran, I was looking for me.
As the plane soared over Melbourne like a giant metal bird, I felt the shadow of my mother's death fall away behind me. I soared into the clouds on metal wings, and above them I found the perspective that has eluded me for so long. My tears weren't from sadness. They were from release.
I looked down upon the world that I had left behind and all its small rivers and cities and highways, and I ran toward something for the first time in my life instead of running away.
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me.

These songs have been inside of me all day. I heard the first one in my brother's car on the way to Melbourne Airport, and again at Sydney Airport when I arrived there to begin my new life.

The second was only ever inside my head, but it appeared there suddenly on the plane, and for the first time I really truly understood the emotion behind those words.

They revolve inside me now, one taking turns with the other. It's beautiful and sad, and I can't wait to see whose song will change me next.

I know that feeling of tears.

No matter how the song changes one, the fundamental point is one's life has been enriched somewhat (even if it's sad). Hope that made sense.

btw, what is the title of that second song? i can't remember it

That's Mer Girl, by Madonna. It's from Ray of Light, which imo is probably her best album and the one she should really have retired on..

Thanks for the love kids! :D

This is beautiful.
