I found this online and thought to myself, “Heck, it makes SOME sense…” So, here it is…

——————————————————————————-
A note to the LADIES when picking the Perfect Partner
——————————————————————————-

Find a guy who calls you “beautiful” instead of “hot”…

…Big diff there, guys…

Find a guy who calls you back when you hang up on him…

…You’d be suprised how many girls do this… The guys are picking up on this though… They do it, too!

Find a guy who will stay awake just to watch you sleep…

…It’s a sweet thought… But only if you guys are already dating… Or else, it’s just freaky…

Find a guy who will give you kisses on your forehead…

…It feels fantastic… Puts you on a high… Really… Trust me… =)

Find a guy who wants to show you off to the whole world when you’re in your sweats…

…It shows that he thinks you’re hot… uh, i mean… BEAUTIFUL (my bad) even without you having to dress to impress…

Find a guy who holds your hand in front of his friends…

…A man who’s proud of you is a hell of a lot better than one who’s not ashamed of you… Think about it…

Find a guy who thinks you’re just as pretty without make-up on…

…Correct me if I’m wrong but I think most guys DO think that girls look better without make-up on… Hmmm…

Find a guy who constantly reminds you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you…

…And NOT with the intention to suck up or sweet talk… Those don’t count… We, girls, can smell a rat from a mile off… Most of us, anyways… =)

Find a guy who turns to his friends and says, “That’s her…”

…Hmmm… Don’t know how he’d know, but it doesn’t change the fact that it feels heavenly… Haha… Ego, ego… Bound to kill me one day…

p/s: “Perfect Partner”? Heh… As if such people exist… =p

Didn’t think the “Tips for the Guys” part was accurate so I decided to scratch it… No point posting more rubbish than there already is online… Way too much spam and meaningless posts… People need to spare us the trash and give us the good stuff… =)

Song Title: Breaking Is Hard to Do

Don’t take your love away from me
Don’t you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I’ll be blue
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do

Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me, and it felt so right
Think of all, we’ve been through
Breaking up is hard to do

They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it’s true
Don’t say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
We were making up again

I beg of you (I beg of you)
Don’t say goodbye (Don’t say goodbye)
Can’t we give our love just one more try
Come on, let’s start a new
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do

They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, (I know) I know that it’s true
Don’t say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up, I wish that we were making up again
Oh, we were making up again

I beg of you, don’t say goodbye
Can’t we give our love just on more try
Come on, let’s start a new
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do

Whoa…
Breaking up is hard to do
Hard to do

Haha… I have the CD! Bought it for a steal this morning… Had all the songs already but it still feels good to have the original… Haha… Don’t ask why… I always get a kick outta having original CDs… Terrible how having the original sounds so foreign nowadays with piracy roaring… =p

Okay, back to the song… Break ups suck but that doesn’t stop them from happening anyways… If it comes, it comes… Whatever it is, you survived… Now, live, learn and move on… To die trying to regain a life of your own sure as hell beats waiting to drown in self-pity and misery… I believe that every experience gained is an asset, and it only becomes a waste of time when the experience fails to facilitate self-growth and maturity within the individual… In time, wounds heal and scars fade away… All we’re left with is the priceless and most valuable lesson taught by life’s greatest teacher - Experience… Experience comes with Wisdom, Development and Good Judgement to help us live through our next experience…

But to put it simply - I think this is a “Shit Happens” moment…

Song Title: Tonight I Wanna Cry

[Verse 1]
Alone in this house again tonight, I got the TV on
The sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There’s pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I’ll never get over you walkin’ away

[Chorus]
I’ve never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein’ strong meant never losin’ your self control
But I’m just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride let it fall like rain from my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

[Verse 2]
Would it help if I turned a sad song on
“All By Myself” would sure hit me hard now that you’re gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It’s gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I’ll never get over you by hidin’ this way

[Chorus]
‘Cos I’ve never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein’ strong meant never losin’ your self control
But I’m just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride let it fall like rain from my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

Woo hoo…

[Chorus]
Well, I’ve never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein’ strong meant never losin’ your self control
But I’m just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with this pride let it fall like rain from my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

A good friend of mine had a short heart to heart with me earlier today and told me some things I always knew deep down inside but refused to admit… Sigh… Sometimes it takes a friend with good intentions to make you see what you refuse to look at even though it’s right in front of you… She reminded me of this song I recently downloaded when she played it…

I’m strong… I know I am… Most of the time anyways… But I have days where I just give in to my feelings - I break down and cry… It’s days like these that I am reminded that I’m only human after all… This song says, “I’ve never been the kind to ever let my feelings show. And I thought that bein’ strong meant never losin’ your self control…” I’m like this… Much as I don’t wanna be… I hate to admit it, but I’ve always felt that giving in to tears is a sign of weakness… I haven’t cried for many… But when I do, I cry bad… I have to learn to remind myself that crying doesn’t always mean I’m weak; sometimes it means that I’m strong enough to let my body show what my heart feels… Sigh…

Sniffle…

Song Title: You’ll Think Of Me

I woke up early this morning around 4am
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else’s arms
I’ve been tryin’ my best to get along but that’s okay
There’s nothing left to say
But…

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don’t need ‘em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you’ll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me, you’ll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I’m feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So…

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don’t need ‘em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you’ll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me

Someday I’m gonna run across your mind
But don’t worry, I’ll be fine
I’m gonna be alright
While you’re sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I’ll be over you and on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don’t need ‘em
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don’t need ‘em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you’ll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
‘Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I’ll feel a whole lot better
But you’ll think of me

You’ll think of me, yeah
And you’re gonna think of me, oh yeah
Oh someday baby, someday
You’re gonna think of me

People do this a lot - those who get dumped… They say stuff like “take your memories, I don’t need ‘em” because of the hurt they feel inside… I don’t see why memories are a bad thing… Really, I don’t… I cherish my memories… Each and every one… The good ones give me something to be thankful about when I reflect and reminisce over times passed, and the bad ones teach me never to put myself in those positions again… I’m only human… I smile at the thought of good times, and I shy away from getting hurt again… In my case, I call it a defence mechanism to aid self preservation… =p

A man who knows his worth was one who sang this… It takes a lot to say, “someday you’ll think of me” to a partner who has chosen to leave… That sense of self worth; that quiet confidence that shows itself through the pain of being “left behind”… It’s during times like this when strength of character reveals itself… Those who know the worth of what they have to offer a partner in a relationship will also know that they are not at the losing end… It’s all about healthy self-esteem and self significance…

Sigh… I love this song… And I love Keith Urban’s voice… Sigh… So nice… Swoons me over every time… I want a guy who can serenade me this way… Just him and his guitar, perhaps at the beach, under the stars, sitting in the moonlight… Okay… I’m getting carried away… Haha… But yeah, I’d love to have a guy who could sing to me Keith Urban style… Not with this song though… Haha… Definitely not this song…

I wish I found this song earlier… Haha… Oh well… It’s never too late… This is my song… Till I find another… =)
