Honest... Raw. The ugly truth on how we damn ourselves on earth, so our souls wonder aimlessly, kicked out of hell but unwanted in heaven.

When I was younger, one of my male cousin's sat me down and told me that there is no such thing as a favour from a guy, if he does you a favour, he's usually going to want something in return at a later stage. Ever since then I've been wary of "nice" guys who want to help me out. That being said, not all guys are the same. It's just that sometimes it's hard to pick out the wolf amongst the sheep.

I would say we have insufficient data. We don't know the circumstances and the motivations.


Ok, I see what you mean. Let's put it this way:
You on the bridge. Everything that has happened in your life has led you to the point where you don't think you can handle it anymore. You're scared. You're scared of living or maybe just tired of it, but you're also scared of dying because well, jumping off a bridge isn't easy. Are you a coward if you jump, or are you a coward if you don't?


I don't think there can be one blanket, universal answer. Different people can handle things better than others. It may be that jumping is really the best option, it may be that the person needs a moment to reconsider. To attach a negative epithet like "coward" doesn't help either way. I don't necessarily think either solution necessitates cowardice. It isn't about labeling the person, it's about understanding him.



Interesting answer. Gives me something else to think about.

They are the same person at different moments.


It's taken me a while to figure out what you meant by this (did I mention that it's one of those days?), but I think I've gotten it... Uh, no I've lost it again. Please explain.

Having one of those days, and was just wondering:
Who is the greater corward, the man who stands on the bridge and jumps, or the one that stands on the bridge but can't?

Before the candle wax turns cold.
Love once so bold,
Now drained dry, no urge to cry.
Just two words spoken, goodbye,- goodbye!

What sweet embrace, to have-to erase.

A very cool write girl!!!!!flowerforyou

As to a song,,The Dance is great..
but,,,Lets Just Kiss, and say Goodbye...

Artist unknown,,,lol, by me,,Dr. Hook,,maybe?


We been meeting here so long,
I guess what we done,,all was wrong.
Darling don't you cry,cry,cry.
Lets just kiss, and say, goodbye...


An extension of my very thoughts... The elusive perfect ending.

Thank You.
Let's Just Kiss and Say Goodbye is sung by The Manhattans.
"It's gonna hurt me I can't lie.
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy.
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try,
Let's just kiss and say godbye."
Thats the one,,,so sad my memory of that time...as life just had me and a girlfriend,,having to go different ways,,just life..but this song stood to remind me always,,,that sometimes,,goodbye,,,really is a peaceful nice parting..not a bad ugly thing,,,,just a parting of who we were....I drive a truck,,and have spent thirty years,,singing with the radio,,,and I LOVE IT!!!,,lol,,life is made of song and memories that we all store inside,,some forgotten,,until ,,it starts to play,,THEN,,,we're ON BABY!!!!!,,,:)


I have different memories of that song. I had the privelage of watching The Manhattens in concert. So everytime I hear it, I remember those two days.
But every songs has its own story, and none of our stories are the same.

A friend of mine had this to add:
"Usually the saddest words
now all that's left is the relief
of knowing
knowing that what once was no longer is,
and what is no longer was...
dancing under a starless night, no ray of light,
no ray of hope...
Just one last dance before the final goodbye."

If I die Young- The Band Perry

[chorus]
If I die young, bury me in satin,
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song.

Uh oh, uh oh.

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby.

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had, just enough time.

[chorus]

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time.

And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your Kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger.
I've never known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand
There's a boy here in town, says that he'll love me forever
Whoever thought that forever could be severed by...

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well,
I've had just enough time.

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done.

A penny for my thoughts,
Oh no,
I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin.

[chorus]

Uh oh (uh oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time.

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls.

The advice I got when I joined this site was to be active in the forums. Sometimes I'll comment on the topics and other times I'll just read other people's comments. It's always entertaining. I have so much fun on the forums, I've given up on the dating site lol.

"Let us find in each other,
a love that can never be torn apart...
... So on Christmas Eve, let her eyes meet mine
And she'll know I am her Christmas wish come true,
Sent to her especially from you."

I hope your wish comes true flowerforyou
