DAWN

Music: Thunder and more
Mood: *sigh*
In my glass: Zin

A friend of mine, a working mom, has started to work again after half a year sabbatical. I’m now keeping her son company twice a week till she comes home. He is… hm, about ten years old, I think – I don’t know exactly. Anyway, he’s a real smart kid. Thursday this week he came downstairs, asked me if I knew what “dawn” means. I said: “it’s something like ‘daybreak’”. He said: “it’s spelled D-A-W-N”. And me again: “well, it’s the time when morning comes, a day begins.. but I don’t know the Dutch word for it”. (Hm… I should know it, yes, I should..) He didn’t seem to be very convinced, just said “hm, I only wanted to know if you knew…”
Today I saw in the papers something called “DAWN” – some kind of space project. Ah, that must be what he was talking about!

I have never read the Harlequin romance.. I do remember the series was very popular in Japan. Does it still exist??? Well, ok, I don’t read those stories, I still think I could write a few right now. *Sigh* But even in my imagination, there’s no such thing as the perfect love.

No Such Thing
(Tommy Shaw)

No such thing… No such thing…
You’re waiting for the lightning to strike you from the sky
You’re waiting for the fireworks on the fourth of July
But sure as there’s a moon in the heavens up above
There’s no such thing as the perfect love

You read Harlequin romances and true life magazines
You’re the young and you’re the restless
You relate to every scene
I tried to tell you once but I guess it’s not enough
There’s not such thing as the perfect love

Baby what you want from me come and take it
But never give your heart for free ’cause I’ll break it
Yeah I’ll break it

You’re still listening for the footsteps
You sit there by the phone
Staring at your posters aren’t you tired of being alone
You may think you’re trying but it isn’t hard enough
There’s no such thing as the perfect love
There’s a time and a place for this
You gotta be there
If you sit around and wait for love it’ll get you nowhere
Nowhere!

Love can really break your heart if you let it
If you’re looking for the perfect love just forget it
Forget it!

Baby you’re so precious you’re living out a dream
I’m scared that when you wake up you’ look around and scream
’Cause life is no illusion, it really is so tough
There’s no such thing as the perfect love
