The Darkest of Days

On Sunday, April 11, 2010 at 7:55pm one of the saddest conversations of my life began, and with it came the end of my 7-year relationship with Ming. Needless to say it’s a crushing event, despite it being a mutual decision. I won’t say anything more here as I simply cannot put the feelings I have into words. Instead, I’ll simply ask you to read the lyrics for Led Zeppelin’s Ramble On, and then suggest that you give the song a listen, as it captures my sentiments nicely.

Ramble On
by Led Zeppelin

Leaves are falling all around, It’s time I was on my way. 
Thanks to you, I’m much obliged for such a pleasant stay. 
But now it’s time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way. 
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it’s headed my way. 
Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I’ve got one thing I got to do… 

*Ramble On, And now’s the time, the time is now, to sing my song. 
I’m goin’ ’round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way. 
I’ve been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On, 
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams. 

Got no time to for spreadin’ roots, The time has come to be gone. 
And to’ our health we drank a thousand times, it’s time to Ramble On. 

* Chorus 

Mine’s a tale that can’t be told, my freedom I hold dear. 
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air. 
T’was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair. 
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her….yeah. 

* Chorus 

Gonna ramble on, sing my song. Gotta keep-a-searchin’ for my baby… 
Gonna work my way, round the world. I can’t stop this feelin’ in my heart 
Gotta keep searchin’ for my baby. I can’t find my bluebird!

I will love you forever Ming and I wish you nothing but happiness even if that’s not something I can provide for you. I’m happy our paths crossed for as long as they did, and now I retire into my cave to cry…
