Cant Smile Without You

This song was haunting me thru out last night.

There was this particular scene in Hellboy2 when Red and Blue both has some relationship problems and started to listen to "The Greatest Love Songs Forever".. And of coz it has to be a barry manilow..

It was particularly haunting for me coz u have to feel the words of wot Red said (between sips of beer),"You simply have to know why a woman is angry? You cant find out from others; You have to know. Thatz wot love is all about eh?"

Interestingly i was talking to a certain Lester Chan on the issue of Romantic Love. He calls it this ,"Romantic love has to be selfish to certain extent. The desire to exalt the object of your affection and admiration into an interpersonal relationship that excludes any third person. To place a person in matter of importance beneath no other person excluding perhaps your closest kin. Hence, the common terms such as "being in a relationship with this girl", "getting engaged to him", "I'm married to my wife", "she is the most important person in my life" etc; symbolize a certain extent of romantic involvement with another person that is exclusive and a level of significance towards the person that is special only towards him or her. These relationships can exist definitely, without romantic love. However, they are the best examples that I can find to illustrate the difference between romantic involvement and other forms of love."

So is Loving someone that cheem.. or issit just a feeling.. Apparently in today society love is nothing more than a feeling. It comes; It goes.

I am a traditional guy when it comes to love.
I will throw all caution to the wind and go after the love of my life.
I will risk life and limb to be with the one.

But i fail many times as i am timid and shy in front of the girl i like.

This might sound funny and contradictory to the usually boisterous and frank me but Frenz who have known me for a long time witness this adverse change whenever i meet girls i am genuinely interested in.

SIGH.

So what is love to you ?
Leave a comment...

Enjoy the song.

You know I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh
and I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.

You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If You only knew what I'm going through,
I just Can't Smile Without You.

You came along just like a song
and brightened my day,
Who'd've believe that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away.

And now you know I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh and I can't sing,
I'm finding it hard to do anything.

You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If you only knew what I"m going through,
I just can't smile.
Now some people sa y happiness takes so very long to find.
Well I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me.
And you see,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh
and I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.
You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If You only knew what I'm going through,
I just Can't Smile Without You
