Explaining My Depression To My Mother- Sabrina Benaim

Yiruma - Remember

I'm sorry. Does he light you up like this? Does he make you laugh? Nobody makes me laugh like this. Good. Then admit it. Admit that you love me. - Give me one kiss. - Oh, God. That's all. One quick kiss. Just one kiss... could not jeopardize a glorious marriage. Besides, it would also explain to me why your pulse jumped from 66 to 102 beats per minute. Your respiration rate has doubled. You're putting out clouds of pheromones. - It's not fair to read me like that. - I know. Love isn't fair. I'm reading your heart. I'm asking you to follow it- begging you. Begging is supposed to be humiliating. I don't care. I love you, Portia. I loved you the very first moment I saw you.

“Alone”
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
________________

From childhood’s hour I have not been 
As others were I have not seen 
As others saw I could not bring 
My passions from a common spring


From the same source I have not taken 
My sorrow I could not awaken 
My heart to joy at the same tone
And all I lov’d I lov’d alone
Then in my childhood in the dawn 
Of a most stormy life was drawn 
From ev’ry depth of good and ill 
The mystery which binds me still
From the torrent, or the fountain
From the red cliff of the mountain 
From the sun that ’round me roll’d 
In its autumn tint of gold 
From the lightning in the sky 
As it pass’d me flying by
From the thunder, and the storm
And the cloud that took the form 
(When the rest of Heaven was blue) 
Of a demon in my view

________________________________
So Now? by Charles Bukowski

the words have come and gone,
I sit ill.
the phone rings, the cats sleep.
Linda vacuums.
I am waiting to live,
waiting to die. 
I wish I could ring in some bravery.
it's a lousy fix
but the tree outside doesn't know:
I watch it moving with the wind
in the late afternoon sun. 
there's nothing to declare here,
just a waiting.
each faces it alone. 
Oh, I was once young,
Oh, I was once unbelievably
young!

"Alone"  Edgar Allan Poe -  So Now?  Charles Bukowski

Evanescene - Lost In Paradise

You know some times I wonder.. If I hadn't been Fox books and you hadn't been the shop around the corner.. and you and I had just.. met.. 
-I know..
I would've asked for your number.. and I wouldn't been able to wait 24 hours before calling you up and saying hey, how about some coffee, or you know drinks, or dinner, or a movie.. for as long as we both shall live..
- Jo..
and you and I would never have been at war.. and the only thing we'd fight about would be which video to rent on a Saturday night..
- Well, who fights about that..
um some people.. but not us..
- We would never.. 
If only..
- I Gotta go..
well, let me ask you something.. how can you forgive this guy for standing you up, and not forgive me for this tiny little thing, putting you out of business, oh how I wish you would.. 
- I really have to go
yea well, you don't wanna be late..
You've Got Mail (1998) Meg Ryan Tom Hanks Comedy, Drama, Romance  - Movie scene

If Only | You've Got Mail

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
