<日复一日> Time After Time

Another Monday. Is it the Monday Blues that everyone mentioned? I don't know. Felt tired and sleepy at work.

Another week. Making myself occupied with work, tuition and gym everyday. Dinner with friends. Arranging for new tuition classes. However, when it comes to night, I just couldn't help myself missing you.

Logging into MSN every night. Open the chat window, but didnt chat with you. Why? I don't know. I was, and I'm trying not to disturb you. I wish I could still chat with you in MSN, asking you how's your day, share what happened everyday, make some jokes to cheer you, listening to your "Sam Si" and many more. And now, I'm just remained silence. Is it best to keep it in this way? I don't know.

You MSN me last night. We chat like we just got to know each other. I asked how's your weekend? You said it's as usual: online, gym, dinner and movie. How about you? You asked. Busy with tuition? You asked me what's the meaning of the Mandarin phrases I put on my MSN, “未曾酒醉已清醒,未曾深爱已无情”. I translate it as "I'm awake before I was drunk, Love is gone before I could love", it's part of the lyrics from an old Cantanese song. You were silent after reading it.

You told me you read my blog before MSN with me. I don't know what to say. Just divert the conversation, telling you I bought few books over the weekend. You asked, you have time to read? I don't know Dear. May be I do, when sitting in front of my computer, looking at your chat window, accompanying you, without you notice. Our conversation stops here. It was 2am+, I guess you were lying on your bed, fell asleep, without saying good night again. The one I knew, from the first day. That's the time I felt the connection between you and me, what I know about you, but I don't have the chance to get to know more now...





Quietdrive - Time After Time



Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick

And think of you

Caught up in circles

Confusion is nothing new

You say Go slow

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds


If you’re lost

You can look

And you will find me

Time after time

If you fall

I will catch you

I’ll be waiting

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time


Sometimes you picture me

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me

I can't hear just what you've said

You say Go Slow

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds


If you’re lost

You can look

And you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you

I’ll be waiting

Time after time


After my picture fades

And darkness has turned to gray

Watching through windows

You're wondering if I'm ok

And you say Go slow

I fall behind

The drum beats out of time


If you’re lost

You can look

And you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you

I’ll be waiting

Time after time


If you’re lost

You can look

And you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you

I’ll be waiting (I will be waiting)

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

u knoe .. cindi lauper sang this song and I remember how I loved it so much when she released this single in the 80s

she sang about her mother, and how the bond between mother and child would be always there "time after time".

sometimes friendships and family relationship are more to be treasured, as these truly last, "time after time".

this is the link to her video:
