So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Alphaville - Forever Young [listening to the Youth Group version in the OC MIX FIVE - on repeat mode]

sad eyes because of sad songs. films tunes that wash your heart away.

so anyways, a friend was reacting aghast to the idea of getting married too quickly. you're going to see her face forever every single day you know, he said. and i thought, that will be super. and i thought about this for a while, and what struck me most was what mingyao told me several years ago. we all assume we're going to live forever. forever young, sings the radio, very nicely in minor chords to make us wistful. but if this were your last day on earth whom would you spend it with? and i say, without hesitation, it would be my dearest musician of course. and so treat each day as if it were the last and don't waste anytime thinking that a better person is going to come along because if you died tomorrow you'd wish you spent another quality day loving that someone you already love all along.

i love you mingyao, you make me feel most precious and i thank you for that.
