once

I'm currently listening to the soundtrack of "Once." I saw the trailer on Apple.com and it was so moving, I just had to download the songs. I so have to watch this movie. The songs are so powerful and the trailer showed nothing but very very very positive reviews.

And so the music is transporting me to another place and another time.

You only meet the right person once.

All this time, what if, what if that person was just there.. But we're always so scared when we're faced with the things we actually want. We screw up things that are already there.

The moment was there and then it's gone. The song ends and the words I want to write down have gone along with it. There is no one, you know. No particular person for whom that song is written. Every song has a story, every person has a story. What's my song and what's my story? Who is this song dedicated to? That when it is played, it will be you I think about. Whoever you are. There will be memories, little trinkets that will remind me of you. Times, dates, places-- all of you. Whoever you are.

There's always a difference between what you desire and what's right. What's right is not always what you desire, or vice versa. So when you meet someone right, does that mean that that person isn't the one you desire?

I try to conjure up an image of someone who fits the mold of these songs. It's that futile search for something that evades us or for all we know could be right there.
