Tangled Up in You

Sometimes the strangest songs wind up meaning the best things.  I know you are not much for me posting song lyrics in the blog.  But I heard this while I was working today and couldn't help but think of you with nearly every word.

You can read the lyrics, but I can also quickly summarize the song.

The person they are talking about is their everything, the one who keeps them going, the one they want to grow old with, the one they are in love with, the one who seems to be their soul, their other half.  It is exactly how I feel about you.

Who knew the guys from Staind were so deep?

Tangled Up in You
 
You're My World
The Shelter From The Rain
You're The Pills
That Take Away My Pain
You’re The Light
That Helps Me Find My Way
You’re The Words
When I Have Nothing To Say


And In This World
Where Nothing Else Is True
Here I Am
Still Tangled Up In You
I’m Still Tangled Up In You
Still Tangled Up In You


You're The Fire
That Warms Me When I'm Cold
You're The Hand I Have To Hold
As I Grow Old
You're The Shore
When I Am Lost At Sea
You're The Only Thing
That I Like About Me


And In This World
Where Nothing Else Is True
Here I Am
Still Tangled Up In You
I’m Still Tangled Up In You


How Long Has It Been
Since This Storyline Began
And I Hope It Never Ends
And Goes Like This Forever


In This World
Where Nothing Else Is True
Here I Am
Still Tangled Up In You
Tangled Up In You
I’m Still Tangled Up In You
Still Tangled Up In You

There you go sweetie.  23 years and I still find new songs that remind me of you.  Its what being in love is all about.  Needing to stand on a mountain top and scream to the world how you feel about someone.  Having it be important that others hear you.  SO they know how you feel.  Singers get to do it all the time.  People who listen to singers, just get to steal their moments.

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

What I Needed to Hear

It took 5 days.  5 very long days.  5 days where every minute seemed like a full day.  5 days where each day crushed me a little more than the day before.

It was a punishment I couldn't bear.  One that literally tore my heart out.  One I deserved, but one I hadn't prepared myself to endure.  It was as if the rest of the world went silent.  As if there was nothing else I wanted to hear.  I sought 3 words - 3 words.  They had to come from you.  They had to be said the right way.  They had to be said with meaning.

For 5 days those words never came.

Then out of nowhere - at the right time - with the right feeling.  They came.  Suddenly everything was better.  Suddenly the emptiness in my chest vanished.  Instantly I felt fine.

I end this blog every time I updated it with the same thing.

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

It is as true today as it was when it was first typed.  You are the world to me.  Nothing in my life has ever been so important.  Nothing has ever been so critical in my life.

So it took the absence of 3 words to make me feel horrible.  Then it took those same 3 words to put it all back together again.

"I love you"

I love you too sweetie.  More than you will ever know.  More than even I know.

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

I Hate Pandora

My love, I can guarantee you that this song never meant anything to me the previous 8 million times it came on the radio.  However, it may ring a bit more true after the past few days.  Thompson Twins?  Really?

I have a picture,
pinned to my wall.
An image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all.
Look at our life now, tattered and torn.
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn

Hold me now, warm my heart
stay with me, let loving start (let loving start)

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah go far away
But you know that there's no where that I'd rather be than with you here
today

Hold me now, warm my heart
stay with me, let loving start (let loving start)

You ask if I love you, well what can I say?
You know that I do and if this is just one of those games that we play
So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry anymore
and then I'll ask your forgiveness, though I don't know just what I'm
asking it for

Hold me now, warm my heart
stay with me, let loving start (let loving start)

I love you so much.  I meant every word I said the other day.  NOTHING in this world means more to me than you do.  Nothing ever has.  I'll spend every moment of every day trying to make things up to you.  You deserve - more than anyone ever has - a storybook romance.  I plan on helping you write that story.  Every day for the rest of our lives.

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