"The snow was more lonely than cold"

Below are the lyrics to the Savage Garden song that's been stuck in my head for weeks. I love their writing and the refrain rings true for me.

"I Don't Know You Anymore"

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

Springtime in the city
Always such relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold
If you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda, don't stop
Keep that chin up, you'll be all right
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?
'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face

Heartbreak by Proxy

In honor of Prof. Wood

The rain falls
droplets sprinkling
little pieces of my heart
like seeds of flowers
looking for somewhere to blossom
In spring
Tears that cannot be cried
Yet
Salt mines waiting to be discovered
Unleashed instead by the
Grey clouds above

Another new beginning

I start my new job tomorrow. Second time through, I am determined not to repeat the same mistakes. I know that trying too hard is a flaw unto itself though so... I am trying to commit wholeheartedly and hoping that I can be the person I know I am capable of being.

Looking through the Trash

My grandma asked me to find something on my grandpa's desk this afternoon. I found the task far more interesting and challenging than it probably should've been. It's amazing how much lies in the random piles of papers we forget to throw away.
