By-Two Kaapi in an oilfield

Its Valentine's Day. I can blog at length about how I feel at certain instances that it is such a lovely festival of love - one of the most powerful human emotions, and at the same time about more instances where I feel this day lacks relevance and love is but a blanket if illusion over the human eye. But I am not in a mood to do either. I just feel like humming a song along. A song that truly conveys my feelings this day. I was generally sifting through my close-to-10 GB songs collection, when I came across this amazing song by one of my favourite bands - Anathema. I am amazed at how a song's lyrics can so profoundly coincide with my thoughts today. Well, I feel every word of this song. So, this goes out to a special person. Download the mp3.

How I needed you
How I grieve now you're gone
In my dreams I see you
I awake so alone
I know you didn't want to leave
Your heart yearned to stay
But the strength I always loved in you
Finally gave way
Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
Somehow I knew you could never stay
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away
And I grieve
In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
And it feels so real
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
Somehow I knew you could never, never stay
And somehow I knew you would leave me
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away
I wished, I wished you could have stayed.
