	&lt;p&gt;Personally, I deeply believe that as a crooner, you have little chances to remain popular, once a certain singer called L.E. hits the stages over the world and charms your fans with his deep and amazing voice, and his class... yet! i have to admit, your version of this song touched me...and so I put it on here, I sing it along with you, dedicating it to someone very special...much more than that...the only person that i could ever dedicate this song to...who always will be special; now, when I know what 'always' means. ALWAYS... no  matter how cheesy it may sound... ALWAYS.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;best!&lt;/p&gt;

Quite as good as I should have&lt;br&gt;

To keep you satisfied, satisfied&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Maybe I didnt hold you&lt;br&gt;
All those lonely, lonely times&lt;br&gt;
And I guess I never told you&lt;br&gt;
Im so happy that youre mine&lt;br&gt;
If I make you feel second best&lt;br&gt;
Man, Im sorry I was blind&lt;/p&gt;

( to do the gig - can't cancel and go home for a while to say probably good bye to my grandma...,life goes away so suddenly, without a notice; and hello/bye or goodbye as well?.. to my mum.. before I end up somewhere..).. but i have a call - just to meet for breakfast meeting to hand over my reports... one of the 'sharks' - my vice-boss as i d call him, older only a few years... very nice chap.. and passionate about finance and what we, id est, &lt;em&gt;they&lt;/em&gt; do... always telling me i am such a" quick learner and talented.. speak languages etc... and moved on within the company so quick.. " blah blah , sure.... but he was honest, he was really friendly... and now, i thought, just because i went onto the other side of the barricade.. his voice- wasn't it so chilly.??. and business like.. so we meet only for breakfast to do the hand over in one of these posh hotels where our people always stay  at, all over Europe.. ( m gonna miss it..ha ha... though it was never TRULY my world.. they wanted me there, and i fit in, and i seemed to fit, almost perfectly, with French accent and sips of posh wine, and business is in my blood for sure... but now i said no... and que sera, sera, petal.. even if you end up on  the street..).. and so his voice so chilly, i thought.. (??)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and then the warm open arms..&lt;br&gt;
and yes, he is fascinated by what we.. correction - they do [ gets into blood, doesn't it.. you are a salesman for your lifetime haha&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;..but mostly he was there to wish me luck, to tell me that i am damn "good and  talented " ( big exxageration!! have to learn a huuuuuge lot esp in loving matter&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;; that "they will always take me back, whatever country i end up in, i shall travel more, believe in myself, remember that i am good, and keep in touch...and take some time for myself 'coz life is short!"&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;the small little girl who became a strong woman got it a bit wrong again.. hehe he.. she knew it all along.. nothing is black and white, though finance world can be sharky you know.. you came here as a little white sheep, and quicly you had to learn to talk like sharks and be sharper and quicker than them... from sleeping on the floor and working 15 per day, remember petal...? talk like sharks... and close your eyes sometimes, close your ears.. and be a bit of a shark.. until you learned how to be PETAL, and live with them... and then you said NO...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;because of the one you were waiting for all your life.. and 1000 years before...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;you got stronger, you learned.. you got a bit of a prize..for your work..&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and a big warm and honest! handshake! at the end... ( and 5 agents calling me with some weird jobs that if i am really on the street, i will take..)not bad... may even keep in touch &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt; with my vice-boss, for sure! he is, and has been , a great colleague whom I shall apologise for my suspiciousness&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;so... a week off, then last week.. then... we'll see...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
but..&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;there's only one but, biggest one... you paid for it.. he paid for it... Dearest, i lost me, you know.. and all i ever would really fight for is you, not all that...take care, dearest, wherever you are...i will always... always be there...and always believe in you...&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;em&gt;...i woke up.. thinking, remembering that day, when you froze,... last time ( remember? said you don;t but...) ; last time you offered help and smiled, and was soo.. so much you, like you are, so kind.. and i spat out a foolish sentence that all that it was ,was being like a kid.. as if you princelike gentlemanhood was being like a kid.... i spat out lies to.. to show you that i give you freedom.. whatever it was, it was so stupid.. and you froze, like on the first day i spat out this biggest lie that started it all.. and so you froze.. probably (consiously or not) thought that i would never change.. that it would never make sense.. and i tried to explain, but words are not actions... loving is not a thing of words.. but actions.. and so you froze; and are like ice now.. because you want to go, move on, be loved... and you do not believe i could..probably the same strong as i don;t believe i would ever love that strong.. anyone else.. even if you froze... and so i run away, for 4 days to see the sea.. to the place where i was just!! after we split... just after..if i had... if i could go there and move time back.. if i had known all that... had known what to do after my other visit there.. at the seaside... if i had known...in April... and so i run away.. loving means letting go.. the more you love, the more you let go... despite all.... so..so..though we all know i was never changed more, and never learned more, now you do not want to believe, and as a friend, I first and mostly respect it... because loving means...take care,ok?&lt;/em&gt;

(only) coz my life here was.. well we know: coming with nothing, working 12h per day or more : "for singing, for singing" and actually no singing at alll (at first); pretending i am so much interested in what i d never be interested ( "for singin, for singing"); coming back at 10 to wake up to work  at 5; and i paid the price; US paid the price ( you paid the price, the highest ...= hurting you...since i was a - for the sake of brevity, let's call it only 'foolish' - a foolish friend); with lots of words and not many actions...((&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif" alt="&gt;:-[" class="middle" border="0"&gt; yeah, a foolish friend...)) and so you London, remind me of all that, of the biggest miracle and adventure that changed me so much, from a frog to a princess, upside down, and yet, left - for the sake of brevity let us call it only 'missing' - left me soooo missing..and so... (&lt;em&gt;je T'aime ...toujours..&lt;/em&gt;) &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.. but hey! there are  stages here i have not sung at; there must be/ are!! corners i have not photographed; there must be tables i have not danced on; there must be trees i have not kissed under &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;; even if... even if.. even if.. let us turn words into actions!!!! i shall no longer say a word that will not be followed by an action... even if, even if.. all the fight will bring no victory... as we know may happen... as you London know may well happen......&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;....going now, would be like giving up.. yes, i know: " i have to love myself"; and i do!! but precisely, you London know why and what it means for me now.. staying here... although my heart sometimes whines for abroad, and travelling and finally!! Buenos Aires (this has to wait since the buenos aires dream need an ingredient which i do not have&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt; ; though my limbs moan for a bit of Poland.. but only for some time..; we both, London know that it all would and does mean ... - nothing, in a way..; and going now would be like throwing in the towel; even if you are going to smack me with costs and lack of gigs, and most importantly - you know what..&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;and so, dear funny fast fu**ing fexciting London - shall we be friends? &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;ps. had my first session today; doing it for myself - to be a so much better friend!; doing it for US.. even if i don't know.. i fear to know... even if.... doing it for you, like i d always do, everything only for you... my dearest...what do you want me to do for you?...

BUT. the choice has actually never been more difficult: after being here, in the lovely UK for so long, and coming here so often, I must admit that here means HOME as well... (my songs are mostly in English, and I guess my blood starts being slowly British as well &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt; and, as we know, some special people are here &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;, and some &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;special things are more important than others...... yeah... and! my musicians are here.. the Polish ones keep asking me : when will you come back?, while the UK ones ask me: when do we play our next gig? &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt; &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" class="middle" border="0"&gt;... ( thank God for cheap flights and for two of my band members already saying YES to recording in PL&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;; ...and so UK feels so homely now... + As you all know &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"&gt;)- there are so many Poles in here &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt; that.. i never feel abroad here anymore.. actually miss it a lot...miss feeling abroad -  and would so much love to finally go to my 'dreamed of' Buenos Aires, to Brussels, to New York.. to.. - in short = change!! travel! go!!! &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;but.. there are always buts.. if you want to study, you have to prepare;.. and special things also need your attention...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;i should record, and I should learn; practise, practise practise, and..&lt;br&gt;
thinking, thinking, thinking..&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;have to decide: shall I give London one more chance.. ?&lt;br&gt;
despite the fact that a month of life here costs 4 months of doing nothing and singing in Poland? ....absolutely nothing!! (apart from eating great Polish food &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"&gt;) )&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;yet, something tells me i shan't go now..hm.. we'll see.. &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
