Singing in the rain..ok, just in the shower

Its saturday evening and nostalgia is loitering my thoughts. Have been playing this song( see below) on my ipod on repeat. I love miss keys...she is just awesome. This song just takes me back...all the silly things i did in the name of love. All the things he said and never did. His words to me were as heavy as the roots of an oak tree, meandering all over my heart. I loved him. Trusted him. If a man only has his words then he would be speechless...i stole this quote, always wanted to use it. Still have unanswered questions but its not everything that we can decipher, some things are better left unknown.

Falling in love is beautiful but falling out of love is heartwrenching, its like life stops and you walk in a vacuum. Its like walking on glass.

Time however is like grand mama...it never rushes you, it tends too your wounds, feeds you nice hot pepper soup, gives you cold fanta to drink on a hot day and lets you listen to all the love songs to your hands content. One day you wake up...one fine day, unsuspectedly, you wake up to no more tears. That is when healing commences.

Miss keys echoes my thoughts very well

Sing along and belt it out, it sounds even better in the shower. See link below..i even gave you lyrics.

He broke my heart
And now it's raining
Just to rub it in
I'm at your door
I feel so crazy about it
You'll say I told you so
You saw it long ago
You knew he had to go
I finally came 'round
I'm back on solid ground
Can't let it get me down

It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Sometimes
Some lies
Can take a minute
To fully realize
His tears
Your eyes
Thirty seconds to apologize
You give it one more chance
Just like the time before
But he already know you'd give a hundred more
Until that night in bed
You wake up in a sweat
You're racing to the door
Can't take it anymore

I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Life perfect
Ain't perfect
If you don't know what the struggle's for
Falling down ain't falling down
If you don't cry when you hit the floor
It's called the past cause I'm getting past
And I ain't nothing like I was before
You ought to see me now

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

  2. It's Amazing She didn't yell Furssssst, ehn Temite Darling.

    @ Seamstress, Take that shower for as long as you like with that song on repeat- It'll do so much good to your bleeding heart.

    I really hate the process of falling out of love...and what's worse is that the time it takes to heal goes soooooo slowly.

    You'll be fine dear.......just sing your heart away.

  5. When love ends, you just feel the whole world is at a stand still but then... we must move on. We get to a point where we pick up our broken spirit and get it nursed back to normal.

    This is a tough call

  11. temite: aww honey..you made me go all teary eyed!!...my eyes are welling up. Its amazing how emotions can take hold of us sometimes. Don't worry, the healing will commence very soon, you will overcome and be brand spanking new. I like you too, ur super sweet, have a fab week xxx

    aloted: i am taking in slow...its been a long process but at least now i can confront the issues i need to deal with. The healing has commenced.

    sirius: i am deafening my flatmate with this song..infact she has started humming the tune because i won't stop singing the song!! lol. The healing has commenced, i'm working through it. Thanks for stopping by.

    icequeen: grandmama is on her way, just go with the flow, cry if tears come, laugh when you can and when the anger sets in...be angry..just don't hold on to the pain. You need to just be you and soon all will be well xx

    deola: Oh my gosh indeed!

    buttercup: these songwriters can pull at our heart strings..no wonder they make so much £££. The healing is well and truly set in..now am dealing with how "dumb" i was by being so trusting.

    standtall: you just summarised my whole post...now is the time for nursing. Its tough and not an easy road to take but its essential.

    writefreak: time is indeed a healer..like you said, it tends to our wounds but memories are another thing...they never fade.

    Funms: i am feeling you..my playlist is full of sad songs, break up songs, make up songs..lol!! Take it slow...it gets better everyday xx

    MDM: I know...because believe me, i have come a long way with this, a year ago i was a complete mess. Now however, the dust has settled and am on the right track hopefully. Thanks for stopping by.

    Spicy tee: My val!! lol. It just sucks that someone can cause so much pain in another. I suppose that's what keeps us human. I've been through the process of anger, blaming me, blaming him, tears...trust me i have been through it. But its true...its better now than it did last year. Thanks for stopping by xx
