Untitled

Come in.
I've been waiting for you.
There's a knock on the door
And love walks through.

And lights the fire, smiles...the smile,
As though love were going to stay awhile.

And the fire breathes
And weaves its spell.
But then, love runs out of lies to tell.

For love is restless.
Love's a flirt.
It has places to go
And people to hurt.

Here's the shovel
To smother the flame.
Tomorrow you'll barely
Remember my name.

And I'll try to forget you,
My deareast one,
As a prisoner tries to forget the sun.

For life holds no purpose...
Love holds no charms
Since I beheld you
In another's arms.

From the movie 'Til There Was You

------------------
Consider the circle, measure it please,
All its three hundred and sixty degrees.
Wasn't that fun, and haven't you found
You can do it again, the other way 'round?

Now that we know how many degrees,
Must be accounted for nice as you please
Here come astrologers, what do they say?
Divide the degrees in precisely this way.
Take thirty degrees for each of the signs
It makes a nice wheel divided by lines.

You think reading it is sad--you should see the context of the poem in the movie.

Release Date: May 30, 1997

Starring: Jeanne Tripplehorn, Dylam McDermott, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston, Craig Bierko, Nina Foch, Alice Drummond

"`Til There Was You" tells the story of Gwen Moss (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and Nick Dawkan (Dylan McDermott) who literally bump into one another when children -- and then whose lives take completely different directions. They remain utterly ignorant of the other -- even though their friends meet, their acquaintances mingle, and their own paths blindly cross, notably centered around former child star Francesca Lanfield (Sarah Jessica Parker) and the apartment complex La Fortuna, where Gwen resides. Though the two grow up absolutely wrong for one another, they nonetheless keep altering the course of each other's lives without knowing it -- or each other.

If they are to meet, will they be ready?
