Kiss me goodbye, I'm Defying Gravity.

I went to see wicked on broadway a few months ago for an early birthday present. I think the song 'Defying Gravity' sums up the entire play. It gives me chills whenever I hear it. I've always believed that gravity is a metaphor for many things...
I am not a huge fan of the theatre, but I do have an appreciation for it. And I absolutely love this play. It covers so many things, but all at once it's really simple. "I hope you're happy"

"I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till i try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down"
The lyrics alone are beautiful, but hearing it performed it amazing. Here is a link for a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3YZYamkCEw

Away

The way you try to scare me.
The way I push people away.

"I'm starting to believe the ocean's much like you, because it gives and it takes away"

Equilibrium

She remembered that day as the worst day ever. Remembered it every year.

It used to start every night around 1am. I never really noticed the equilibrium of beauty and tragedy. I only cry that hard once in a while now. I think those good times felt even better because I had something so terrible to compare it to.

And now it's all lost, but 'God is still in the business of redemption'

Runnin' with believers, no time for fever

Losing track of the days.

Sometimes we can pray through our actions.

Say what's on our minds...

Walk on, Walk on , Walk on

She couldnt perform until he got there.
And when he did she smiled more and moved flawlessly.
And we all watched and cheered her on.
The thing that I love the most about being with them
is that they care so much.
They knew how important this was to her.
There was nowhere else we would rather be.

I never wanted to forget.

I dont feel familiar feelings like I used to.
I remember things. But I can't feel them so much anymore.
I never wanted to forget.
Those feelings are so distant.
There is nothing left between us.
But I'm thinking maybe this nothing is better than tension and bitterness and leftover apologies.
I guess that maybe now I'm free from all of those feelings.
To carry on without attachments.
I think it feels okay being unattached to anyone.
I am afraid to let myself be defined by another person.
I dont know if that is good or bad.

Resolution.

Wanting to be where I am.

It's easier said than done.

Happy New Year :)

Remember you said we would get married.
We said we would love eachother forever, and ever, and ever...
But I keep getting lost in the present.
And I'm pretty happy.
