If Nothing's Ventured, Nothing's Gained. So I Must Seize The Day

It amazes me sometimes, how time passes and things change, people change.
Someone who told you they would be by your side forever won't even talk to you
People who said they would stay by your side die.
Some drift away, some were never really there at all and it's hard to tell one from another.

And sometimes you hit a cross point, and someone says they still care, that they want to be friends, and then you never here from them. And it makes you wonder how much you meant to them to begin with.

But what can you do?
What can I do but keep going?
I take the moments for what they are, nothing more, nothing less
I try not to get too attached, because it hurts too much to loose.

And I know when everyone is gone, I will still be standing
I may stand alone, but god damnit, I will stand.

And as much as I hate to be alone, I'm not going to stay around people who treat me like shit just to be with someone. Not anymore.
I will walk away.

Every small thing, good or bad will make me stronger
I used to have no meaning to my life, but I know I am made to survive, I will prosper.

There was a time where all I wanted was someone to hug me and tell me everything would be alright.
But I'm not a child.
No one's going to save me except myself.
And I am worth saving.

Song of the Entry:

Standing by VNV Nation

Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking.
Beyond words they say so many things to me.

A stranger here reborn it seems
awaking wonders deep in me.
If nothing's ventured nothing's gained
so I must seize the day.

And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.

With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.

It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anything.
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.

I let the wind run through my hands
as I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.

And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.

Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.
And fighting time so much I ask.
I will this morning last forever.
Though seasons change and things come to pass
remain inside of me.

And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
and will the world stay standing still at least for me.

I had no faith before that day in any vow or deed.
Days followed days and years were meaningless.
Despite the wisdom of defeat
I bore my heart for all to see the wonders I'd seen.
