If there were a background song for when two people fall in love at first sight, I believe this would be the song.
Their eyes meeting. Her eyes his. His eyes hers. A brief moment of connection.
Then the inevitable moment when their connection must break, and their eyes must look away.
The contemplation. The realization.
Of love.
At first sight.
Of course with this song playing the background.
Maybe at a Barnes & Nobles or something. lol
I stared at her.
"Why?"
She smiled at me.
"Because it's 11:11! DUH!"
Even now, I believe that wishes do come true if you make them at 11:11.
For one whole summer, I wished for something at 11:11, and when school started again, my wish came true.
Lately, I haven't been wishing for anything when I see my digital clock flashing 11:11. There's nothing to wish for really.
I don't waste 11:11 wishes on trifling things. They're too important to wish for something stupid, like a new car or more money. No... real wishes should be made at 11:11.
At 11:11, it was you that I wished for every night for one whole summer. And you did come.
But as they say, you must be careful what you wish for.
I wished so earnestly that me and you would be together.
And so it came to be.
... but I forgot to wish for the most important thing.
I forgot to wish for a "forever."
It turned out better that way though.
Still, there's nothing to wish about right now.
Even though it might be 11:11.
Too bad.
Write, for example: "The night is shattered,
and the blue stars shiver in the distance."
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
That I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
On nights like this one, I held her in my arms.
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me, and sometimes I loved her too.
How could one not not have loved her great, still eyes?
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered, and she is not with me.
This is all.
In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight searches for her as though to go to her
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
The same night whitening the same the same trees.
We, we who were, are the no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that is certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her ear.
Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.
I no longer love her, that is certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting so long.
Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms,
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer,
and these the last verses that I write for her.

It's 1:19.
I have to wake up at 5:00.
And sleep still won't relieve me.
Six years after the fact and these nights still come.
It's been a few years since I've thought about it so deeply, but I miss you. Six years, and I still miss you. It really shouldn't be that way. It's really not fair at all.
But I really do miss you. I don't want to miss you.
I just want to go to sleep, Mei.
I like being single...
Most of the time.
The only time I don't like being single is when I either see a couple, or I'm left alone because my friends have coupled off. This is usually the case during the holidays.
Halloween is no exception.
All my friends go out with their respective significant others and do something couple-ish to celebrate whatever holiday it is, and I'm the only one left out of the mix. I'm left going out with people I usually don't hang out with or sitting at home. Wanna guess which one I'm doing now? lol
Again, I like being single, but it's on these days that I wish I had a girlfriend.
NOT.
Being single is great.
...yeah.
Happy Halloween!
I love them so much! :]
Surveys are still fun! Reminds me of the myspace days lol

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education:
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.
The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.
How do you view success:
Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
Who is your true self:
You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.
Pretty spot on
