Quite a Different Song (to Me)

What kind of song will particularly impress you?
I like it to be melodious.
The lyrics will certainly play a significant part too.

I have a particular song for so long. Well it is a nice song, but I wasn't mindful of what I was listening to while the song was playing, in the past. But recently, by some random process, that song resurfaced while I was in my car. And amazingly, for the first time, I know what I was listening to. I mean it was for the first time, I took notice of the lyrics. I think I like it.

I picked up the lyrics just by listening. Taken out of its original context, did some changes and here we have (a portion of the edited lyrics) :

I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore.
Maybe I've learned this time.
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for, the way that it is in my mind.

Someday I'll get over it.
And I'll live to see it all through.
Still I'll always miss ...

But I won't let it change me, not if I can.
I'd rather believe in love.
And give it away as much as I can, to those that I'm fondest of.

Heh.. Maybe you find it too plain. But this is not just another song (to me) this time round.

Maybe I have done many things which I think are right, but turned out dreadfully wrong. Hence the first paragraph cast quite a deep impression on me.

Maybe I just need to get on. I have other dreams to fulfill, to reach for. Whatever had happened, however pleasant or unpleasant, becomes an experience and still will be missed somewhat. I just like the second paragraph.

Maybe I have experienced a little emotional setback. Not much, just a little. But that shouldn't change me, or change my believe in love. Love in the broadest sense, please. Still, to give without expecting any return. A bonus if it is returned in kind. I'm rather touched by the simple third paragraph. mm..

有一位圣者这么说：
如果一个人能真正惜取与人相交集时的每一份缘，
那他就不会在意对方的缺点，
不会受对方影响。
人与人交集时需要随缘，
如果太过执著现在的交集，
就会受它所困。
