Tue, 01 July 2008: Drifting in limbo...wishing...

Posted by Leng at 10:49 while listening to "I'm Not That Girl" from OST 'Wicked' and feeling Wishful.

I wonder if Steven Schwartz realized what kind of piercing truth his lyrics held when he penned the score of Wicked. I've been listening to it on repeat ever since I arrived back in Sydney last Friday. Since I left New York and before I start work in two weeks, I've had a lot of time to think, thanks to this lovely period of limbo between full time university and full time work with no set agenda or schedule.

Don't wish...Don't start. Wishing only wounds the heart.

I wish...I were back in New York.

I wish...I never had to leave New York.

I wish...for the day when I'll be in New York again.

Don't dream too far. Don't lose sight of who you are.

I wish...I had gone to New York earlier, as I once dreamed.

I wish...some dreams had remained just dreams.

I wish...I had never left, never gone, never loved, never known.

Don't remember that rush of joy...

I wish...to not wish at all.
