let it be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.



It had been a miserable day - we were all miserable and wet and cold from walking home from the rain, and when we appeared in the guys' doorway with wet hair and clothes and looking so miserable, they made space for us under the covers; we find out that they've done the washing although it was our turn, and with their familiar simple way they make us laugh.

The last 2 days have been spent feeling miserable, lonely and confused. But looking back - I spent so much time feeling down, and talking about how shit I felt that I forgot how blessed I am. That the girls listened to me whine while we were lazing around in rosy's room sharing a bottle of wine. That when I said we needed to go out and get drunk they all went out with me. That when I wanted to leave bar risa because it was shit, they left with me. That when we came back the boys made us laugh and shared their muffins. That saj can make me laugh with a well-timed accent imitation; that chris was watching FRIENDS when we came into his room, and it just made me feel so happy to have found another FRIENDS fan.

And when tim said in his lazy way "simple pleasures yeah...just let it be" while pulling on my wet hair, I felt the relief come rushing at me, and the tears welling up, because I knew he was right - and how could I have missed it for so long?
