Cause I Don't Like Apple Pie

Remember that day in last September?
There was a sudden change in the weather?
A slight chill in the air, but pleasant all the same.
We were both tired and  hungry.
And all we really wanted was to find a place to sit?
So we walked down to Sid's corner.
We'd ordered tofu, black beans in sauce and some rice.
And then you'd asked me if I'd like apple pie for dessert?
And I had said I don't mind.
Actually, I did mind. I don't know why, but I don't like it at all.
And I don't know why I'm telling you this right now.
But you need to know this.
You said you love me, yesterday.
And I....I'm not sure, it's me.
You see, I don't like apple pie.
And I've had people fall for someone else before.

As The Day Fades

I like watching the sun bounce off broken glass. Don't you?
In fact, I've always loved light on broken glass. So pretty.
Hey, stop bobbing in and out of sight, love.
Your hair smell lovely, by the way.
You know, I love the song 'Chasing cars'. Snow Patrol's so good.
Huh? What are you saying? Slow down...
Does it hurt???
Well... I can taste my blood through my teeth.
And my knee's sticking out at a weird angle but, I can't really feel my leg.
You think the shoulder's broken too?
And there's a dull ache in my arms, but, nothing hurts as much as you think it would.
I guess it's my nerves...doing what they're supposed to do.
Switching off. So it doesn't hurt.
But my chipped tooth hurts, bad.
Tooth aches, seriously - worst things.
Shoot!... My project proposal's due tomorrow.
Yeaah....I guess...He'll understand.
Funny, I'm wasting time thinking about this right now.I must be Scrooge.
I mean... isn't this time for some kind of a divine intervention?
I mean... I'm probably not going to make it. This is the end.
This is my end.
I like laying here, I don't want to move.
And these leaves above are beautiful. The sky seems clear today.
I should probably tell you how much I love you right now though, right? Right...
Well, I do love you, there's never been doubting that, and mom and dad and baby bro...
You can tell them for me...It's just somehow I can't seem to mouth the words, my throat's dry.
But I'll try, "I love..."
There, said those two words... you can take it from here.
But really,
You know I've always loved the song 'Chasing cars'.
And your hair smell good, really good.

All I Wish For You This Year

A whole new year has been laid out in front of you, so you can begin anew.
Make new mistakes, and paint some fresh strokes into your life.
I hope this year finds you in perfect health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
I hope you find yourself in peace, loved and in love.
I hope you have time to make new friends, and rediscover old ones.
I hope you find that 'family' only makes living easier.
I hope this year finds an awakened you.
That somehow even the nation and the world take a turn for the better.
That we all realize 'hate' is silly, finally.
That newspapers start to make your day. And so does your job.
I hope you find the world is a beautiful place.
And that there is hope and safety.
That faith is not just foolishness. And that passion pays.
Most of all, I wish you love, all over again, as I always have.
And I hope you know, I love you, always.
In spite of your secrets,
In spite of knowing you so little, as you would have me believe,
Even though sometimes, we are nothing like each other...
I love you.
Have an amazing year!
