Sometimes you come across a text or even just a snippet of a text that etches itself into your heart & soul. Here I will try to gather some that mean something to me. Poems, quotes, and many song lyrics...
And yes, I think Nick Hornby was right in "High Fidelity".
Enjoy them, cherish them, nourish them...!

3 Doors Down - Here Without You
"A hundred days had made me older since the last time that I've saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face
I’m here without you baby But your still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams And tonight it’s only you and me
The miles just keep rollin As the people either way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that it gets better as we go
I’m here without you baby But your still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I’m here without you baby But your still with me in my dreams And tonight girl it’s only you and me
Everything I know, And anywhere I go It gets hard but it won’t take away my love And when the last one falls, When it’s all said and done It gets hard but it won’t take away my love
I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I’m here without you baby But your still with me in my dreams And tonight girl it’s only you and me"
"I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day and through In that small cafe The park across the way The children's carrousel The chestnut trees The wishing well
I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you"
"I´ve got you under my skin. I´ve got you deep in the heart of me. So deep in my heart that you´re really a part of me. I´ve got you under my skin. I tried so not to give in.I said to myself: "This affair never will go so well." But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well, I´ve got you under my skin. I´d sacrfice anything, come what might, for the sake of having you near. In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night and repeats, repeats in my ear: Don´t you know, little fool, you never can win. Use your mentality, wake up to reality." But each time that I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin, cause I´ve got you under my skin. I would sacrifice anything, come what might, for the sake of having you near. In spite of a warning voice that comes in the nightand repeats, how it yells in my ear: Don´t you know, little fool, you never can win. Why not use your mentality, step up, wake up to reality. But each time I do, jus tthe thought of you makes me stop just before I begin, Cause I´ve got you under my skin. Yes, I´ve got you under my skin."
"Disarm you with a smile And cut you like you want me to Cut that little child Inside of me and such a part of you Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy So old in my shoes And what I choose is my choice What’s a boy supposed to do? The killer in me is the killer in you My love I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile And leave you like they left me here To wither in denial The bitterness of one who’s left alone Ooh, the years burn Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy So old in my shoes And what I choose is my voice What’s a boy supposed to do? The killer in me is the killer in you My love I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you Send this smile over to you The killer in me is the killer in you Send this smile over to you The killer in me is the killer in you Send this smile over to you"
"Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire? Leaning out to catch the sun's rays A lesson to be applied Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip? You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh Or you can come to terms and realize You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh Makes much more sense to live in the present tense Have you ideas on how this life ends? Checked your hands and studied the lines Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light? Seems that needlessly it's getting harder To find an approach and a way to live Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip? You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh Or you can come to terms and realize You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh Makes much more sense to live in the present tense"
