Come Back To Me



by David Cook

You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror
Looking back at you

You say you're leavin'
As you look away
I know there's really nothin' left to say
Just know I'm here
Whenever you need me
I'll wait for you

So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

Take your time i wont go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left them
I'll be here for you

Oh and I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

And i hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you come back to me

I can't get close if your not there
I can't get inside if there's no soul to bear
I can't fix you i can't save you
Its something you have to do

So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me
Come back to me
So I'll let you go

I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

And i hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you come back to me

When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me


This song came to me the day after a very depressive night. It was really kind of a weird coincidence that it was playing right when I turned on the tube and switched to the music channel. Come Back to Me is a hopeful farewell kind of song in the sense that your saying goodbye to the one you love who seeks some time alone to search for whats missing in her life and yet you're still hoping that she'll be coming back to you after the much needed absence. I can really relate to this song because, I used to be that guy who believed that things can always be solved together and I always would take it upon myself to stick around and wait for the moment that she'll be okay so I would just be right there, easy to find when she needs me. But as time has proven then and again that this method is a complete bust. I have completely changed my views regarding this matter. I have learned that I should be stronger and more knowledgeable on when to accept the things you have no hold of and just let go and just be patient and wait for the moment when all things will eventually fall into place just like God has planned. Losing the person you truly care about is hard to deal with and letting go is a painful process. But, both is a welcome sacrifice. Especially when you know that giving her up means she could pick up the puzzle pieces of her life to make the whole.

2009 NBA Playoffs: Conference Finals

Four Teams are left & a win in this series match up will matter now with not only the conference title on the line but also the chance to play for the NBA's Grandest Stage, The NBA Finals.


(1) Los Angeles Lakers vs.(2) Denver Nuggets

Series
Lakers Win 4-2

game 1: Nuggets 103 at Lakers 105
game 2: Nuggets 106 at Lakers 103
game 3: Lakers 103 at Nuggets 97
game 4: Lakers 101 at Nuggets 120
game 5: Nuggets 94 at Lakers 103
game 6: Lakers 119 at Nuggets 92


After a grueling 7 game series against the Houston Rockets. The Los Angeles Lakers will now defend their western conference title against a much bigger & more talented team, the new west powerhouse, the Denver Nuggets. after 5 years of playoffs first round disappointments, the nuggets have found what they need to go further in the playoffs, Chauncey Billups. With Chaunceys leadership, the talent of this Denver team has now been fully utilized and have been on an unstoppable momentum even before the playoffs began. If they continue to play as a team & their reserves stay energized off the bench, they'll take this series away from the defending west conference champs. The Lakers will have a much tougher series this time around than the previous one. The Nuggets are not known for their defense but they have a much bigger lineup than the Rockets. Pau Gasol & Andrew Bynum will have to exert more effort off the glass & on defense. Also, the Lakers reserve should step up to the challenge of the other teams bench. Kobe Bryant should do more of an imitation of himself more often then the last previous series for them to defend their title. Lakers will still win this on a game 7 thriller.





(1) Cleveland Cavaliers vs.(3) Orlando Magic

Series
Magic leads 3-2

game 1: Magic 107 at Cavaliers 106
game 2: Magic 95 at Cavaliers 96
game 3: Cavaliers 89 at Magic 99
game 4: Cavaliers 114 at Magic 116
game 5: Magic 102 at Cavaliers 112

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been resting for this for almost 2 weeks & the Orland Magic only had 48 hours of rest after a decisive game 7 against the defending champs Boston Celtics. The Cavs have proven to be dominant force on this years playoffs, having an 8-0 record thus far & with all that wins in double digits, they are the big favorites to win on this finals series. The Cleveland team has never been more complete to take it all the way to winning it all than any other year. Lebron James should just continue his stellar performance & his team needs to maintain their momentum & tough defense. The Magic had a tough 7 game series the previous match up but they came up big on game 7 & the game 5 post game rant of Dwight Howard awaken the coaching staff on a huge concern they should focus on. The key for the Orlando team to take this one away from Lebron is to always hand Howard the ball on every possession to draw the double team & open up their sharp shooters & hit 3s. The Cavs can't sweep this series but will still win it going up 4-3 in game 7.
