UNREQUITED LOVE!

IT TEARS YOUR HEART OUT, AND LEAVES A SCAR.

BUT OWN IT, AND DON'T LET IT TAKE YOU DOWN!

I wanted to give this special song about heartache some beauty, playfulness, strength, and a wink of the eye...

It brings to mind a brilliant scene in the crazy amazing movie 'ADAPTATION' which I LOVE. Big Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman fan!

Nicolas Cage plays twin brothers so brilliantly, (Best Actor Nominee) and his character/s have been through the ringer, are hiding from danger and have a sweet, funny, heartfelt conversation :

Charlie Kaufman : There was this time in high school. I was watching you out the library window. You were talking to Sarah Marsh.

Donald Kaufman : Oh, God. I was so in love with her.

CK : I know. And you were flirting with her. And she was being really sweet to you.

DK : I remember that.

CK : Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti. And it was like they were laughing at *me*. You didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.

DK : I knew. I heard them.

CK : How come you looked so happy?

DK : I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.

CK : But she thought you were pathetic.

DK : That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.

THE ADVENTURES OF CUPID AND PUCK

I had to tell you, to tell you the truthCouldn't keep hiding my feelings from youFigured that it was the brave thing to doEven though deep down I sort of knew

And I found out you didn't feel quite the sameBut your words were so lovely I'd hear them againNow the brave thing is to live through the painKeep opening up 'cause there's no one to blame

People say there's plenty more fish in the seaBut I ain't got time to go fishing you see'Cause I know that I've found the pearl of the seaSo why would I wanna go searching down deep

I suppose it's quite funny, quite funny to seeHow Cupid got stoned and aimed right at meOr maybe so tired he fell right asleepForgot what I wanted was your company

Or maybe inspired he was acting a sceneTaken from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's DreamTired of love's failings he plotted a schemeCupid and Puck would've made quite a team

People say there's plenty more fish in the seaBut I ain't got time to go fishing you see'Cause I know that I've found the pearl of the seaYes I know that I've found the One

But I'm not afraid of rejection this timeI won't go home, won't go home and cry'Cause I can accept this emotion is mineAnd I'm just so happy that we shared this time

And maybe one day this jewel of the seaWill wake up feel different and come searching for meSuddenly realize it was all meant to beMaybe the Gods will shine down on me

Or maybe one day something will changeMaybe I'll wake up, won't feel quite the sameMaybe I'll wanna go fishing againMaybe I'll wanna go fishing

Again
