The timing is a bit off this week. Valentines Day falls on the weekend and we will be enjoying our lovely weekend at our favorite hotel during the time I should be updating this blog. As only a fool would make a blog entry during a romantic weekend, I have to accomplish my annual task early.
This is the 22nd time I will beg you to be my Valentine. As of now I am riding a 21 year streak of yes answers. Can I get that lucky again? Last year I finally declared the Valentines Day card as an insufficient means of expressing my love and asking you to be mine. The year before I reminded you of the perfect gifts I could give you to convince you to be mine.
This year…..I stole a song for you. I found this song a long time ago (ok a few months ago) and I knew instantly that it would be my Valentines blog entry. It is the perfect ext to ask you to be my Valentine. So aptly named “Be Mine”.
Rather than simply list the lyrics, i am just going to steal parts of it and use them to plead my case.
“From the very first moment I saw you
That's when I knew
All the dreams I held in my heart
Had suddenly come true
Knock me over, stone-cold sober
Not a think I could say or do
'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now
My eyes are so wide
Like you reached right into my head
And turned on the light inside”
Its is so true my love. You awakened me. You made me the person I am today. Had you not come into my life the light would have never gone off. I would never have found the person who makes me feel this way. The person who made love possible in my life. How could you not “be mine”?
“If I had some influence girl
With the powers that be
I'd have them fire that arrow at you
Like they fired it right at me
Maybe when your heart and soul are burning you might see
That every time I'm talking with you
It's always over too soon?
That everyday feels so incomplete
'Till you walk into the room?
Say the word now girl
I'll jump that moon”
There is an episode of The Office where Pam tells Jim why her dad left her mom. It was because Jim told her dad how he felt about Pam and he had never felt that for her mom. He said “he knew you were the one from the first moment he laid eyes on her and how he felt every time she walked into a room”. The part of the song above says the same thing and I so feel the same way. I could simply sit on the phone with you. We don’t really need to talk. You just have to be there. I get an excited feeling when I see you and a sad feeling when I don’t know where you are. Its like the time I was getting my hair cut and you weren’t there. Literally every person that walked by that wasn’t you left me feeling empty. It is the kind of true love I feel. Is it enough for you to “be mine”?
“Rainy, shiny, night or day
There's nothing in the way now
Don't you see?
Be mine! Be mine!
Winter, Summer, day or night
Centigrade of Fahrenheit
Baby till your heart belongs to me
Be mine! Be mine!
Thursday, Friday, short or long
When you got a love so strong
How can it be wrong now? Mercy me!
Be mine! Be mine!
Jumpin Jesus, holy cow!
What's the difference anyhow
Baby till your heart belongs to me?”
I am not sure how much more I could plead with you. Be my Valentine again this year and I’ll continue to give you my entire heart. Every beat, every pulse will be for you. My heart will beat not only to give me life, but because you gave me life.
So for the 22nd time. Will you be my Valentine? I’ll wait for Sunday to hear the answer.
You’re the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
