You & Me

Gripping on so tightly, 

because i'm afraid you'll disappear.

"I'm not your father, my dear.

I'm not going anywhere, i'm

staying right here. "

Your reassurance is  like raindrops 

on cloth. Eventually, it dries out. 

And i'm back to feeling like 

time is ticking, and that you're

a step closer to leaving. 

Crying, breathing fast, please, oh please

i want this to last. 

Gripping on so tightly, 

because i'm afraid you'll disappear.

"I'm not your father, my dear.

I'm not going anywhere, i'm

staying right here. "

Baby, your words are sincere, but 

my heart needs you here.

Next time i hold you, i'll grip a little tightly,

because at least i can say i tried.

But, there just wasn't enough time. 

Author's Note

"i know what i want, because i've got it in my arms right now." ( - P.S I Love You.)

I love the film, and some of the things they say really hit home, and i thought i'd write partially about me, with a mix of the movie. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think.

While I haven't seen the movie( 'm not really big on the romance genre), I liked this one quite a lot, especially the lines:

"Your reassurance is like raindrops
on cloth. Eventually, it dries out."

A very nice read! Thanks for sharing :)

[Brook]

Get down with the Romance genre, Devesh. ;)
It's a great movie, but if you don't like soppy, lovey dovey romance, i do not recommend!

Thank you, very much :)

Here's the thing: I've never really tried. The closest I've come to reading a romance novel was when I read Erich Segal's 'Doctors', which I found lying around in one of the rooms when I moved to another place. I don't think it qualifies as a romance novel :P Hehe, going by your blog, I should try 'The Fault in Our Stars' but I'm already sick of people raving about it!
I don't hate them, don't like them either. I'm confused!
You're welcome! :)
I think I come across as a rather grumpy old man with a history of failed relationships behind him :P

[Brook]

Romance can be great sometimes. Don't knock it ;)
You should try and get through some like The Fault In Our Stars, or maybe even Eleanor and Park. Romance novels aren't always bad. People are raving on about it, because it's good! Surely that's a sign?
Some people just don't see the beauty of it like others :P

[Devesh]

Maybe I'll try reading one...but no guarantees that I will finish it. :P

[Brook]

At least then you can say you tried ;D

[Devesh]

I can say that now as well, I think I read a page or two of Twilight before vomitting :P

[Brook]

I was a twilight fan for a long long time, and not even i got through the books hahahaha!
It's a lovely film/story, but the books didn't interest me :')

[Devesh]

I haven't tried watching the film, so I can't say. :) You failed to finish a romance novel? Bwahahaha xD

[Brook]

Yes! I bought all the books, but i was mid-way through the first book when the film came out, i ditched the book. I went for the movies instead :')

[Devesh]

If you tell me you did that to Harry Potter too, I'm not talking to you again :P

[Brook]

Oh dear no, i am a dedicated Harry Potter Fan. DEDICATED MY FRIEND

[Devesh]

Phew! That's a relief! :D
