once in a blue moon

wishing we could choose our landscape
wishing me and you could just go anywhere we wanted
once in a blue moon we'd stay out late
and watch the sun come up at 5:30 in the morning.
oh yeah, once in a blue moon

interpretation. that's what we do with our reality. because of that nothing stays constant. but that's a good thing alot of times. cos as human beings, we are prone to just doing stupid things and thinking stupid things. and being stubborn, or stupidly devoted to things or people that won't ever repay this devotion.

the day will surely come, one day i'll be with you
the day will surely come, we will make it all come true
the day will surely come

i have always loved this song. and somewhere along the line, probably some time last year, it become meaningful. to those people here who don't already know, i was in love with someone for 4 years. except i wasn't really in love with her, so much as i was in love with an ideal. of some person who never really existed. jung called it "anima projection" i believe, a kind of projection of one's feminine ideal on someone. i call it blind infatuated stupidity. the point is, i was in love with someone who never really existed. which i guess is common, again according to jung. and it is to this non-person that i attached this song, because the actual person, the object onto which i projected my anima, was someone i thought i wanted to be with, but who would never really be with me

i ain't seen you in a month of sundays
i never knew exactly what it was i wanted
once in a blue moon you keep your promise
when it's you i don't mind such a long wait
oh no not when it's you

but right now it's all over. it ended the day i walked out of the cafe she was working at, 2 days before i flew off. it ended with the phone call she gave me that night. which, while at once broke my heart, also mended it. and made me realised that what i was looking for wasn't someone who would satisfy my ideal, but someone who could walk alongside me, for however long the road will take us, and someone who i can discover along the way and fall in love with over and over again.

the day will surely come, one day i'll be with you
the day will surely come, we will make it all come true
the day will surely come
the day will surely come

and right now the song has become more real, as they would say perhaps in an english class. i know what it means to me now.
