dear livejournal,

these are the lyrics to a beautiful song that struck me, Afterglow by INXS.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses.

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow.

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest.

i cry when i hear it sometimes because it's a sad song and it is painful too. sometimes i feel as though i know the exact emotions...how hard it is to forget and to create happiness from the sorrow. today...i don't know what to say,i am willing myself to go on but i just want everything to remain the same...and i also want it to change. This is a terrible paradox.

love,
amanda
