I Want to Tell U That...

Good morning Alberta! Or, as the unenlightened might say, good afternoon! Its a cloudy, dreary, drizzly day; the kind of day I used to love. But these days I don't mind a bit of sunshine through my window. As long as it's not in my eyes. Which is why a hat is good. I left my 2 bucket hats in Thailand. The Leech Lake hat, I don't have a clue where that one ended up or who's wearing it now. The Mark's Work Warehouse hat is underneath a seat on flight CI 066, somewhere between Bangkok and Taipei. So if anyone has a nice bucket (AKA fisherman's) hat that they would like to give me as a welcome home present, no complaints here. Anyways, I was going through my Thai literature and I found this cute little book entitled "I Want to Tell U That...". It's written in Thai and translated into English. I thought I'd share it with you all, in English of course because I'm sure your Thai reading skills are much worse than mine (girls only want guys with skills). It's actually a picture book, so if you wanna see the pictures you're gonna have to come over.

"I Want to Tell U That..." ~ Author unknown, English version

How could I ever tell you
Or when did I ever feel so special
by your side
It may be the very first day we met

But deep down in my feeling
It's telling me that somehow
it is not the same
From that day until today
It's those feelings
that have piled up day by day
As the time that passes by...

I think...
It must be the good old feelings we share
Sometimes...I keep asking myself
That those people that are passing
by into my life
Someone who treat me fair,
or sometime I treat them well
It's not that it has never happen before

But as I sit down and start to ponder
The great feelings that we use to share
It's not exactly the feeling
that I've for you right now
Or of all the time
that we used to be together

Life is somehow strange...
Sometimes it's just by chance
Someone passing my path

And I've never imagine that we would meet
And when we actually did
I've never thought you'll be that special one
...in my heart

Sometimes
I wonder and said to myself
Why did I let you in and rule my heart
So much so like the way it is

Now, let me be frank with you...
every time we met
You make me so happy
And I'm feeling the whole world
is smiling brightly
But every time we part
All I ever think about is you,
and care for you

Everything that you do,
everything that you dream of
I feel like they're my dream too
I'm watching you, and sending my support
Hoping that you'd find that dream
and be whatever you wish to be

Your smile
Make my little heart grows
with happiness and joy
And every step we move along together
Seems like the whole world belong to us

But you've sometimes caused me to worry
And that the problem seems inside unclear
And you won't speak your mind

Or sometimes
you don't seem to understand me
And never speak a word
You make we worry sick and confused
And the night seems so long...
I can't sleep
Because my head is thinking all about you
Don't you know you can be so mean to me

'Understanding'
Means a lot and worth a million more
What do you say

How funny
That sometimes
I try to tell myself that I 'understand'
In the way you choose to do
But deep down inside
I don't understand at all

'Understanding'
in my meaning I believe
Is all about trust
I believe that you would always be you
The one I'll always love
and give the best I could to
And be the one
I completely trust on
If you still see me as important as before

It might not seem that easy
To put two person together on a journey
Without any conflict between each other

So sometime I let you be
Sometimes you let me be
I remember reading a book saying
Whenever you're in dire strait
of your relationship
If one of them dare to move back a step
And that would make the two
go on moving

But I don't think
you would want me to retreat
Step by step and so on and on
Me the same
Then the one who have no place to stand
Is the one who keep stepping backward

Do you ever look at the mirror
and think about me
I do
It make me realize what it is like to be
smiling to oneself

Just thinking about you
and I'm all smile
Especially how happiness show up
in your eyes
How I wish you'd turn and look at me

I could still remember the pass old days
when we first met
How funny
That we're just two lonely strangers
But look at us now...
How I miss you every minute

You make my life fill with hope
And power up my strength
You make this old world
look so bright and joyful

It's not very often that I look up on
to the starry night sky
Except those old childish memory,
But right now I'm looking at
the same old night sky and oh,
How pretty it greets me
Till I met you

How wonderful it is
To know someone who cares is waiting
And someone that I long to be
with every moment

When your phone rang
It wakes me up and my heart beating faster
then ever
Your SMS always make me smile

Today
I'm still in the same old world
But whenever you're here
It seems like a brand new freshness
of colorful dream added into my life

Thank you
That you didn't put me in the box
and have me change myself too much
Same for me too
That I don't think I've made you feel uncomfortable
That restrict your action
and lost your soul

So be happy
I want you to feel relax
as we become friends

So be glad...
I feel the same in our relationship

Life is not a bundle of problems
Only if we don't put too many rules into it
Just let the day walks by,
we all have great feelings for each other
Just let today be the day of understanding
Just let it be...
the world is so much more beautiful now

I love your loving smile
I love your cheerful personality
Because it makes me feel so free
I love your look
That always shines with happiness
And it brings much happiness

My feelings for you
And your feelings for me
Will it last forever....I wonder
As for me...
I don't think it would last that long though

Because that long road ahead
How could ever know how far or where
it might end
And that the most important thing is
Could it be the truth
I'm not so sure

All I ask for is to have you with me today
And that tomorrow
we would still be the same
Our good old feelings that we used to share
will never fade away
This should be enough
What do you say to this

Let me tell you something
Till now that I've you here
I've done many things
I've never dream of doing before

Sometimes
I think of you the whole part of the night
And as I wake up....
you're still right there in my mind
And whichever way I look
Your image comes up in layers of thoughts

Whenever I talk about you
It make my heart grows like no any other
feeling I could imagine
Just when I call your name
My eyes are brighten up

Just the same for time
Though the day is only 24 hours
And it has always been

But till today
I wish the day would grow longer
and more minutes in an hour
So I can talk and see you as long as I wish
I could be so close to you more than ever
Which sometimes....
I think it's kind of selfish and greedy

But let me be
For just as it is I'm more than happy in life
No matter the day is longer or lesser,
For my good feelings for you will always be the same

If the world is so magical
I wish our relationship
Will last and last, don't you agree

Um....or may be we should make it much better
Well....I'm still smiling right now

Honestly
Those magical wishes
is not that important any more
I wish everything will be
According to our heart's desire

And I do believe......
that great things will always happen to us
Why shoud it be so
Well....because we always share that
good feelings together

And all that I've mentioned
Is more than enough to tell you my deep
feeling inside to you

I wish to tell you
how I feel in the day I have you with me
It is the most happiest day of my life
You make me discover the best things
in life does exist........

I love you
