Please Hear What I'm Not Saying



Please Hear What I'm Not Saying

Don't be fooled by me.
Don't be fooled by the face I wear for I wear a mask,
a thousand masks,
masks that I'm afraid to take off,
and none of them is me.

Pretending is an art that's second nature with me,
but don't be fooled, for God's sake don't be fooled.
I give you the impression that I'm secure,
that all is sunny and unruffled with me,
within as well as without,
that confidence is my name and coolness my game,
that the water's calm and I'm in command and that I need no one,
but don't believe me.
My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask,
ever-varying and ever-concealing.
Beneath lies no complacence.
Beneath lies confusion, and fear, and aloneness.
But I hide this.
I don't want anybody to know it.
I panic at the thought of my weakness exposed.
That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind,
a nonchalant sophisticated facade,
to help me pretend,
to shield me from the glance that knows.

But such a glance is precisely my salvation,
my only hope, and I know it.
That is, if it's followed by acceptance,
if it's followed by love.
It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself,
from my own self-built prison walls,
from the barriers I so painstakingly erect.
It's the only thing that will assure me of what I can't assure myself,
that I'm really worth something.
But I don't tell you this.
I don't dare to, I'm afraid to.
I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance,
will not be followed by love.
I'm afraid you'll think less of me,
that you'll laugh, and your laugh would kill me.
I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing
and that you will see this and reject me.

So I play my game, my desperate pretending game,
with a facade of assurance without and a trembling child within.
So begins the glittering but empty parade of masks,
and my life becomes a front.
I tell you everything that's really nothing,
and nothing of what's everything,
of what's crying within me.
So when I'm going through my routine
do not be fooled by what I'm saying.
Please listen carefully and try to hear what I'm not saying,
what I'd like to be able to say,
what for survival I need to say,
but what I can't say.

I don't like hiding.
I don't like playing superficial phony games.
I want to stop playing them.
I want to be genuine and spontaneous and me
but you've got to help me.
You've got to hold out your hand
even when that's the last thing I seem to want.
Only you can wipe away from my eyes
the blank stare of the breathing dead.
Only you can call me into aliveness.
Each time you're kind, and gentle, and encouraging,
each time you try to understand because you really care,
my heart begins to grow wings--
very small wings,
very feeble wings,
but wings!

With your power to touch me into feeling
you can breathe life into me.
I want you to know that.
I want you to know how important you are to me,
how you can be a creator--an honest-to-God creator--
of the person that is me if you choose to.
You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble,
you alone can remove my mask,
you alone can release me from my shadow-world of panic,
from my lonely prison,
if you choose to.
Please choose to.

Do not pass me by.
It will not be easy for you.
A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls.
The nearer you approach to me the blinder I may strike back.
It's irrational, but despite what the books say about man
often I am irrational.
I fight against the very thing I cry out for.
But I am told that love is stronger than strong walls
and in this lies my hope.
Please try to beat down those walls
with firm hands but with gentle hands
for a child is very sensitive.

Who am I, you may wonder?
I am someone you know very well.
For I am every man you meet
and I am every woman you meet.

~ Charles C. Finn, September 1966


A Gentle Word


A Gentle Word

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Take me......


Take Me......


hold my hand and leads me to where you want us to be
anywhere but with you is always a home for me
i once walked in a path where i can see nothing but darkness
i tripped and fall,wounded and bleed yet i passed through it..

I fear to be in that place again,that was like a prison for my heart and soul,
a sphere where i cant even find my shadow,and in every moment i stayed in there
a hostile feeling,an animosity... arise within me...i fought to hold on to my self..
kept myself going...breathing...and i did...live!

but now with you...feeling the warmth of your presence in depth of my soul...
your soothing voice calm my being...in the silence i can hear my heart beats for you...
calling out your name and rested with the cradle of sweet emotion...contented.
with you...darkness is over...so take me.

take me...let's start exploring this new world,let our hearts lift us up...
fly...be free...in one...let's levitate with the power of love...
you open up the door for me to get acquainted to this new place....
a place where my heart will nestled with yours for a limitless time...
now...i submit my all to you...take me...and let's go.

Love Message 01




U are every part of me and I don't wanna face another day alone. I wanna spend every second, every minute of the day with u. I wanna see u every morning as I open my eyes. I wanna feel your heart beating every night. I wanna be with u most of the time and never will I allow to anybody to set us apart.

I love u so much and I know love me more but why can't we be together as we wish for? Culture...for us it's a torture. There was a time that I just thought I'm gonna lose my mind. You always come along and then I'll be fine. Hope God will hear my prayers...that is to be with you for the rest of my life.

I know it's stupid to dream about u but I don't mind. If it's wrong to love u, then my heart just won't let me be right. I just always hope that we'll have a place in this world to live happily ever and after. They said, "where there is great love, there are miracles" God help us both to be strong enough to hold. I've found what I've waited for and I couldn't ask for more.

Honey, I will always love u no matter what. Whatever will happen I still thank God. At least he has given us a chance to spend some time together. Things might be impossible for us but in HIM nothing is impossible! I'll do my best to make our relationship great and God will do the rest.

Love Quotes Part-1


The shortest word I know is "I". The sweetest word I know is "LOVE". And the person I never forget is "YOU".

A man wants to be a woman's first love, a woman wants to be his last.

Sitting next to you doing absolutely nothing, means absolutely everything to me.

If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes, only then would you realize how special you are to me...

Don't say you love me unless you really mean it, because I might do something crazy like believe it.

You know you're in love when you don't wanna go to sleep at night because your life is better than a dream.

When you feel cold and warm at the same time,
when you read over the same line for the tenth time,
when your heart and thoughts somehow appear to rhyme,
and when a simple name conquers your whole mind,
then you are in deep trouble my friend... you are in what they call, "love".

If you love someone put their name in a circle, not a heart, because hearts can be broken but circles go on forever!

Nobody is worth your tears, and the one who is won't make you cry.

Today I caught myself smiling for no reason... then I realized I was thinking about you.

"The spaces between your fingers were created so that another's could fill them in."

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone -- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Never frown because you never know who might be falling in love with your smile.

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, "thats her"....

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it does not come back, it was never meant to be.

If you cant get someone off your mind they are probably supposed to be there.

It's amazing how someone can break your heart, but you still love them with all the little pieces.

"Last night I looked up and matched each star with a reason why I love you; I was doing great, until I ran out of stars."

I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

Trying to forget someone you loved is like trying to remember someone you never knew.

It's only after someone is gone do you realize how much you miss them...

Love is giving someone the power to destroy you...but trusting them not to.

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.

The worst feeling you'll ever feel is sitting next to the person who means the world to you knowing that you mean nothing to them.

"You never really stop loving someone. you just learn to try to live without them"

If you truly love someone, then the only thing you want for them is to be happy....even if its not with you.

Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

Last night i sent an angel to watch over u while u were sleeping. It came back early and i asked it why? Its said "Angels dont watch other Angels"

Once I dropped a tear in the ocean, the day I find it is the day I'll stop loving you.

You don't have to promise me the moon or stars . . . just promise that you will stand under them with me.

Loving someone doesnt need a reason. If you can explain why you love someone, its not called "Love"... its called "Like"

Sometimes you need to run away just to see who will come after you.

ME AND MY LONELINESS


I WISH SOMEONE COULD FEEL MY LONELINESS,
SOMEONE COULD SIT AND CRY WITH ME,
WISH SOMEONE WOULD DROP TWO TEARS FOR ME,
WISH SOME ONE COULD FEEL MY PAIN,
WISH SOME ONE WOULD HOLD MY HAND AND TELL ME
I AM THERE FOR U.

ASKED GOD WHY SO MUCH PAIN IN MY LIFE ?
WHY DID U CHOOSE ME TO CARRY THE CROSS OF TEARS,
WHY DID U GIVE ME HAPPINESS AND TOOK IT AWAY,
WAS NOT I WORTH FOR THOSE HAPPINESS?
WHY DID U WRITE MY DESTINY WHERE
I HAVE TO SMILE WITH TEARS FILLED IN MY HEART?

I PRAYED VERY HARD THAT WISH SOMEONE COULD FEEL
THE LOVE THAT I HAVE IN MY HEART WHICH I HAVE HIDDEN
IN MY HEART WITH ALL THE TEARS AND PAIN

IS LOVE LIKE A VALLEY OF PAIN AND OCEAN OF TEARS?
IT'S A BEUTIFUL FEELING GIFTED BY GOD ,
IS IT A BLESSING OR A NIGHTMARE FOR ME?

BUT NOW SINCE I AM THINKING ABOUT LOVE,
I FEEL LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL FEELING,
I AM LUCKY TO GET THIS FEELING,
EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE LOVE IN MY LIFE,
I LOVE THE FEELING TO CRY FOR SOMEONE,
I LOVE THE FEELING WHEN MY HEART BEAT'S FOR SOMEONE,
I LOVE THE SMILE OF SOMEONE EVEN IF I HAVE TEARS,
I LOVE THE CRAZIEST THINGS DONE BY HIM,
I LOVE THE PAIN GIVEN BY HIM,
I LOVE THE WAY HE MAKES ME FEEL THAT HE LOVES ME
EVEN IF HE DOES NOT,
I LOVE TO SIT AND THINK OF HIM AND SMILE
I LOVE THE FEELING THAT HE IS BESIDE ME,
EVEN IF HE IS FAR A MILE.

I LOVE TO SMILE WITH TEARS INSIDE ME,
I LOVE TO LIVE WITH A FEELING OF LONELINESS.

My favorite "description" of love :

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin. "Love is the beauty of the soul." --St. Augustine
