Love Me Or Leave Me

Say love me or leave me and let me be lonely...

Back when I started going into my latest obsession of vampire novels, I reached over to my nightstand and randomly picked a tarot card for a bookmark and got The Sun, I took it as a good omen. I think the Chinese upbringing lead me into the habit of looking for omens. We were always try to create our own good omens while avoiding the bad ones. I was particularly upset when I dropped the card during a bus ride to New York and thought how lazy and stupid of me to use a Tarot card as a bookmark, since now that Ive lost one I'll have to replace the whole deck. Given I have two other decks, but that was my only Rider-Waite, the others are just there for their exotic decorative looks. After that, I told myself that I now have 77 pretty bookmarks. While randomly pulled out the 8 of Swords to replace my lost one, not a good card, but I managed to turn it upside down for my purpose. I got tired of the sight of that one easy enough since it's such a hostile sight to start with and as I was randomly pulling out another replacement last night, it was the Lovers and the sheer irony of it made me burst out laughing.

I can't believe I've never posted this song, I think it reminds me of my current situation. It's one of my all time favorite and as ashamed as I should be, it's the song that introduced me to Nina Simone by the way of Billy's Hollywood Screenkiss. Hope you enjoy!



Love Me Or Leave Me

Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
Night-time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue

Saaay, I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else

Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
Night-time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue

Say I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
My love is your love
There's no love for nobody else
