dedicated to the one i love

one of the first movies i watched with v was how to deal or what a girl wants. depending which country it was shown. had mandy moore in it with a short dark crop of hair. one of those simple date movies.

but it introduced a number of phrases that we still use, occasionally. jedi mind and friend with benefits. which i once was for a period of time. also in the movie, the character has no faith in relationships as the start of one is the beginning of the end. there was a part (if i can remember correctly) where it was described that life can sometimes be like a fumble in the dark and a companion, if not for anything else, can be a person to hold on to.

and that was what this song made me think about. was rushed back to some 3 years ago.

I Will Follow You Into The Dark

Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "NO"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In catholic school
As vicious as roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black
And I held my tongue
As she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "NO"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary (will Bintan to Changi do?)
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the "NO"s
On their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
