I heard a couple of students sing this song today in chapel. I only wish I could find an mp3 of this somewhere; it's a great song.

Sweet Love Impossible
by Pono Nu'uhiwa

Do you see me when I’m walking by?
Or am I invisible?
Do you see me when you dream at night?
Or is this impossible?

You are the one I’ve been waiting for; but you never look my way;
So for now until you feel the same, you are my sweet love impossible
Sweet unforgettable.
You are the drops of starlight I could never hold.
Sweet love impossible.

Will I be lonely forevermore?
Without you right by my side
I live a lifetime of emptiness,
These feelings I cannot hide.
You are the only thing I can see, when you shine into my day.
So for now until you feel the same;

You are my sweet love impossible
Sweet unforgettable.
You are the drops of starlight I could never hold
Sweet love impossible.

You are the only thing I can see
When you shine shine into my day
So for now until, you feel the same,

You are my sweet love impossible. [Yeah yeah yeah]
Sweet unforgettable.
You are the drops of starlight I could never hold. [I could never never hold]
Sweet love impossible.

So eyes are the windows to the soul? Is that why eye contact is so uncomfortable for me? Because I don't want to feel "vulnerable"? Hm. While it is true that I rarely hold eye contact with other people, I can do it. It's just easier with the people I know well. With the people I trust. Does it mean I have to be vulnerable? No, I don't think so. Maybe it's an Asian thing. Maybe it's a me thing. Who knows?




PS: The quality project is dead. If time is money, then I'm flat-out broke, hon. Now ain't that a hoot. Perhaps it would have been a better idea to do this not at the end of the year, when everything comes crashing down on our shoulders. Papers, projects, AP exams, final exams... Is there no end to the madness? Now here's a rhetorical question: Why do I even bother?

Don't answer that.
