Playing It Cool

I was awake (kinda long story) and trying to fall asleep. Stumbled on “burn notice” and when I was still not sleepy had to look for something else that was not really on my watch list.

The best part was that it was not your usual RomCom. The next interesting thing was the reference to

De surprise

After both sign an agreement with a company that offers to end their lives when they least expect it, a dejected millionaire and a disheartened young woman fall in love and have to find a way to get out of their binding contracts.

With a tag line like above, how was I supposed to start watching it. As I did, I realized that it was a foreign film and not the usual French or Italian or German or East European but Dutch. I don’t recall another Dutch movie that I have watched before.

    Song(s)

    When the cold wind blows

    Just know that I have left

    The fleeting breeze

    Carries away only my yearning for you.

    When the leaves fall

    Just know that I have left

    the falling leaves

    Will only carry our memories together

    When the cold wind blows

    You will be lonely

    Even so, do not

    Think about me any more

    One time

    Your warm gaze

    Brought butterflies

    To my young heart

    What is Love
    Hoping that you are worrying about me as I am for you, and wishing you are pining for me as I do for you.
    Is this Love?
    Or,
    Is it that you are not worrying about me, that you will forget about me and the moments we have shared.
    Is this Love?
    Or if neither, is it
    That I am willing to go thru everything from the very beginning just so that I can meet you again?
