Gotta Be Somebody

Photo by Michael Alago - Rough Gods

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holdin’ my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

?? We all must be gluttons for heartbreak and disappointment.

Aren't we just a bunch of sadomasochists?

Does "true love" exist? No, but rather a series of loves.

♪♪You'll never see the courage I know
♪♪Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
♪♪I'll never glow the way that you glow
♪♪Your presence dominates the judgments made on you

♪♪But as the scenery grows I see in different lights
♪♪The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
♪♪My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights
♪♪I understand what I am still to proud to mention, to you

♪♪You'll say you understand
♪♪But you don't understand
♪♪You'll say you'll never give up seeing eye to eye
♪♪But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie

♪♪You'll never touch these things that I hold
♪♪The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
♪♪You'll never feel the heat of this soul
♪♪My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown to you

♪♪You'll say "don't fear your dreams"
♪♪It's easier than it seems
♪♪You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
♪♪But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie

♪♪You'll never live this life that I live
♪♪I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
♪♪You'll never hear the message I give
♪♪You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight

♪♪But as the scenery grows I see in different lights
♪♪The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
♪♪My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights
♪♪I realize what I am now too smart to mention, to you

♪♪You'll say you understand
♪♪You'll never understand
♪♪I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
♪♪I don't know what to believe in
♪♪You don't know who I am
♪♪You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
♪♪But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie

I had someone once and lost him. I doubt I'll ever have that again but now I'm okay with that.

From the few weeks I've followed your blog, and the sense of yourself that you give through it, I have no doubt you'll find that "somebody out there" for you. I hope when you do he's as lovely a guy as you seem to be.

Amazing in a world as overpopulated as ours how lonely the human race can be.

Nick I think your need to be with "the one" is problematic.

1.) who says there is just one.

2.) This idea perpetuates the feelings of inadequacy if you can't find "the one." Like, there is something wrong with a person who's single.

You can have a fulfilling life as a single just as much as you can with someone.

You need to find the fortitude as an out and proud SINGLE not just as a gay man.


“Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone.”

“Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”

“It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself.”

“Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.”

HEY YOU! If you haven't noticed my comments already - please get out your funk; life is more the just your relationship status.

Hey Nick -

Hafta ask?
Is that "Black Velvet" behind you in this pic, or something with actual patterns on it? If it's actually a solid background the lighting on the material is causing lots of subliminal images. Pretty cool there hot shot!

LOL - not my place to take up Mr. Moretti's blog with stuff about me. If you really want to know, go to my blog and the first entry (March 10) will answer your question.

My apologies to Nick.

Yes, I copied & pasted PICK's 1st statement. CUZ He said SO well!!!

Arrrgh! Fucking Typos ruin my posts.

POST!

Nick Moretti said...

Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days. I have had a LOT going on. Some good and some bad. Life... you know. I do the best that I can. And if I don't post don't get pissed at me. I don't HAVE to do anything. I choose to share my life... good and bad.

I am not looking for some perfect person or "soulmate". I am looking for someone to be beside me as we go through life on our own paths... together. I look forward to the good and the bad times. To supporting each other and challenging each other. If we both want what is best for the other person, want them to be happy, then it should be a positive, supportive relationship. No one should feel less or denied anything.
There is a line in a song from the play RENT that goes, "I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine." I love that line.
