  • Commitment Phobia

    Sometimes I wonder if I can ever settle down again.  While I have been happy dating, my heart is still guarded and I revert back to being defensive when I feel my happiness is threatened. 

    My girlfriend sent me this song today and I think it explains why I am the way I am.  Protective of my own heart because I know what it's like to have loved and lost.  On a more poetic note, the song is so much more meaningful in its original language than when it is translated.  Why is that? 

     

    Cầu Vồng Khuyết (Bright Rainbow)
    Thể hiện (Artist): Tuấn Hưng
    Sáng tác (Composer): Minh Khang

    Ai đã yêu một lần, đều hạnh phúc với người mình yêu

    (Whoever has loved once has been happy with the person they love)
    Ai đã yêu một lần, đều trải qua cay đắng của tình yêu

    (Whoever has loved once has gone through the pain of love)
    Ngày xưa tôi cũng yêu người tôi yêu đẹp xinh

    (In the past, I was in love with a beautiful person)
    Như hoa như đôi thiên thần

    (Like a flower, like a heavenly couple)
    Giờ đây tôi lặng im nhìn em xa rời tôi

    (Now I quietly watch you leave me)
    Chia đôi cầu vồng ngày xưa

    (Splitting the rainbow of the past)

    Đã khuya rồi vẫn ngồi đếm sao

    (It’s already dark but I’m still sitting here counting stars)
    Sương rơi lạnh ướt đôi bờ vai

    (The fog falls and chills both my shoulders)
    Ánh trăng đã không còn nữa

    (The moon no longer shines)
    Chỉ còn chiếc cầu vồng khuyết để mình tôi đơn côi

    (Only me left looking at the bright rainbow alone)
    Đến bao giờ mới được có em

    (Until when can I have you?)
    Đến bao giờ thấy được cầu vồng

    (Until when can I see the rainbow?)
    Tôi ngồi giữa đêm lạnh vắng

    (Sitting alone in the middle of the cold night)
    Hỏi vì sao tôi lại khóc

    (Ask why I’m crying)
    Giờ mới biết đâu là yêu

    (Now I know it is love)

  • i think when you find a guy that's worth it you will get over this, i guess right now these guys you are dating aren't right.  never settle!  ^_^

    i think some day you will find someone really great because you're a really great person and that's how it should be.  don't worry too much about things like this because it won't matter when the time is right.  *nods*
