Half Gifts

I just have to share the lyrics of this beautiful song from one of my favourite bands Cocteau Twins. The lyrics sum up my feelings about the breakup and my whole situation right now; the music is completely therapeutic and soothing. The whole album Milk & Kisses is my bedtime lullaby.

Half Gifts
It's an old game, my love
When you can't have me, you want me
Because you know that you're not risking anything

Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel
And who we really are

That's what grownups do
That is mature thinking

Well I'm still a junkie for it
It takes me out of my aloneness
But this relationship cannot sustain itself

Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel
And who we really are

That's what grownups do
That is mature thinking

I just have to know
How to be in the process
Of creating things in a better way

And it hurts, but it's a lie
That I can't handle it
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill

I still have a life and it's a rich one
Even with mourning, even with grief and sadness
I still care about this planet
I am still connected to nature
And to my dreams for myself

I have my friends, my family
I have myself, I still have me
