I'll take the love...but that's it.

I can't fully explain what compelled me to post this blog, other than I am in the process of releasing some long-held pain after finally realizing it is now time to move on.  These perfect words sum up the way I've felt and thought about a situation that has gone on for quite some time now, and while I don't have to give up the music itself, I am giving up on and completely releasing my attachment and feelings that have surrounded it.  With this, I now release all unnecessary longing, suffering and pain related to this song.  I release my spirit from all unrealistic expectations, and I release my heart from the wanting of something it cannot have.  With me, I will take only the love, for that is all I will ever need.

A thousand years (words and music by Sting)

A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face

I still love you
I still want you

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortunes child to judge anothers crimes
Or wear this pilgrims cloak, or be a common thief
Ive kept this single faith, I have but one belief

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
til you love me
