]]> http://www.ryansheeler.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=475 0 Exactly one year ago… http://www.ryansheeler.com/blog/?p=473 http://www.ryansheeler.com/blog/?p=473#comments Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:02:42 +0000 admin http://www.ryansheeler.com/blog/?p=473 It was one year ago…that the tailspin began. I had recently just lost my job….and now then I had lost my long-time girlfriend….

The fallout continues… without going into much detail….the ramifications of June 2009 lasted a long time – and the whispers of it still haunt me to this day. Its like the eternal wound that never quite closes…

what have I learned in this time…wow…I think those lessons are still works-in-progress…it is a “cracked foundation” so to speak. I am wired differently than most I suppose…and I tend to dwell in the past or the future and very rarely in the past.

So yeah, I have taken some drastic steps to overcome the past year – removing pictures, etc. Guess what, pain is still there…nearly exactly one year later…

And here I was hoping that 2010 would be better…

This is song is personal high watermark for me in terms of lyrics and music.

Always Have The Moon (c.2008 Ryan Sheeler)

VERSE 1
Only one hour, one phone call away
who knew we would collide on that lonely day
Two years on and off, friends who couldn’t say
Has it really been that long since we walked away?

CHORUS
It always seems to shine the brightest, when we can’t see
Light and circles flow around this tear-stained picture of me
and you, us and them…Did it end too soon?
If we’re meant to walk apart we’ll always have the moon

VERSE 2
When eyes met only once is forever too far ahead
Look when now seems so right and words remain unsaid
Seeing (in the) distance close to the edge of
praying for wisdom and scared to ask for love

BRIDGE:
Too caught up in the moment to ask the question why?
If love can hide the truth were we living a lie?

VERSE 3
Three years over now I wonder where the time goes
Still the moon shines on more than just the two of us.
Sing a song of longing both to stay and leave
Can I marvel in the wonder of wanting to believe?

CHORUS

Its been an incredibly tough year since June 2009 — some details of which are better left off of here for right now. But wow….talking about getting run over by a truck!

if a face could tell a thousand words…well….I’d have an encyclopedia. here’s hoping to a better year number 38.
