Fade into You

I stole this song, it is actually by a band called Mazzy Star. But I heard her speak on some on-line radio show and what she said the song was about made me think of you. So I will intersperse some commentary between the lyrics.

The song is called "Fade into You"......

"I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth"

She says "fade into you" means to give yourself unconditionally to someone's love for you. Like being led into the dark in a blindfold, knowing that no matter what the other person will help you lead the way and get to wherever you were going. Because you love them you trust them. Because after you have "faded" you become a combination of people into a singular force of beauty.

After nearly 23 years together, I have "faded into you" - I know that with you everything is going to be fine. That when I can't see something, you will see it for me. That when I can't feel something you will feel it for me. After 23 years, I am pretty confident you to have "faded into" me.

"You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of light into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there."

Together - faded into each other - there is nothing we can't manage. Hand in hand, our eyes catching each other, arm in arm - we can accomplish anything. It is as though after 23 years, we are more than just two individuals who make a couple, but now more a couple who happen to be individuals. We are so in love. We have such a strong bond between us that nothing can break.

We have romantically transformed over the years into a unit of sorts. "Faded into each other" to form something we never imagined. Something amazing. Something so special.

"Fade into you
Strange we never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange we never knew
I think it's strange we never knew"

I changed the "you" to "we" because it fits better. It makes us perfect.

You are the love of my life. The purpose I sought. The feeling I craved. I can't imagine how life was without you. I can't fathom a new day without you there. To really steal a line "you complete me". I am forever grateful to who ever I should thank, that I found you in my life.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
