The Science of my life

“

It’s been the longest winter without you
I didn’t know where to turn to
See somehow I can’t forget you
After all that we’ve been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who’s there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realise that I really didn’t know
If you didn’t notice you mean everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’ma be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time

I couldn’t turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I’m dreaming don’t wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that’s the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn’t notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’ma be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time

Since there’s no more you and me
It’s time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I’ll be fine without you
Yes I will

[Chorus: x2]
Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time

Leona Lewis-Better in time

It won’t let me upload the mp3 for some reason. If I only knew then what I know now. That things would truly get so much better and that I had yet to really experience love.

“ This is a grown-up car, this is the kind of car we should be driving. ” - Jeff, comparing our friends new 1 series to our MINI Cooper. I’ll take my MINI any day over a Bimmer. They kind of bore me.

“ …love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together. ” - Emily Griffin, “Love the one you’re with”

“

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am when I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what you have made of yourself,
But for what you are making of me.

I love you,
For the part of me that you bring out;
I love you,
For putting your hand into my heaped-up heart
And passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can’t help dimly seeing there.
And for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find.

I love you because you are helping me to make, of the lumber of my life,
Not a tavern but a temple;
Out of the works of my every day
Not a reproach but a song.

I love you,
Because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good,
And more than any fate to make me happy.

You have done it,
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.

Roy Croft, “Love”

And this is the other reading I am contemplating (we need 2).

“ When he looked into her dark eyes, and saw that her lips were poised between a laugh and silence, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke — the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. Something that exerted the same force whenever two pairs of eyes met, as had theirs here at the well. She smiled, and that was certainly an omen — the omen he had been awaiting, without even knowing he was, for all his life.
It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning. ” -

Paulo Coelho, “The Alchemist”

I am thinking of using this as one of our readings during our wedding ceremony.
