You Would Have Understood Me (Ernest Dowson. 1867–1900)
YOU would have understood me, had you waited;
I could have loved you, dear! as well as he:
Had we not been impatient, dear! and fated
Always to disagree.
What is the use of speech? Silence were fitter:
Lest we should still be wishing things unsaid.
Though all the words we ever spake were bitter,
Shall I reproach you, dead?
Nay, let this earth, your portion, likewise cover
All the old anger, setting us apart:
Always, in all, in truth was I your lover;
Always, I held your heart.
I have met other women who were tender,
As you were cold, dear! with a grace as rare.
Think you, I turned to them, or made surrender,
I who had found you fair?
Had we been patient, dear! ah, had you waited,
I had fought death for you, better than he:
But from the very first, dear! we were fated
Always to disagree.
Late, late, I come to you, now death discloses
Love that in life was not to be our part:
On your low lying mound between the roses,
Sadly I cast my heart.
I would not waken you: nay! this is fitter;
Death and the darkness give you unto me;
Here we who loved so, were so cold and bitter,
Hardly can disagree.

We have great minds!
Great minds think alike, that's because I just found someone tonight.
It is all started from dinner...
We were talking about relationship and money or to be particular our vision of our own future, how do we want it to be and how it make us think that way. Many many things we talk along that line which I found that most if not all is what I have thought, felt and understood now. It is surprising to know that there is girl at your age knows such a thing and I am so glad I know you.
After a night of talking many things when round and round in my mind, so much that I actually didn't know how to explain in simple words. I have some views and opinion but I just don't know how to tell or I shouldn't say for some reason. Some time silence is the best conversation.
In conclusion, For your current situations, he is suitable for you, both have the same thinking but there will always be loop holes to invite arguments, come to this, I need to clarify that though we have common thinking, which I was also looking for quite some time and I also like to have a girlfriend like you but I will never interrupt with your situation as I don't need a girl to make me complete. I like my freedom and I think I have just found a soul mate. I don't want to trade a soul mate for a girlfriend for the time being.
Next, family, the first time I heard this from someone that my dad actually shows love in a different way I was just like how both of you behave tonight. I did not believe that, and some time I really hate what he did to me. Until today my perspective changes. I don't understand your family but I think that every parents love their children, this is the nature of humans.
Lastly, that crazy girl. Some people just don't get it. Or like I say still don't know how to think properly. I know how irritating to have such a friend, I had some too. But don't blame on them, they just need some attention and sense of belonging but in a wrong way.
