Love addendum - a song in my heart
6 years ago
General
I had a prior draft of my journal talking about falling in love, one where I spoke a bit about a love long. That journal was getting a bit long so I cut it then, but I found the subject still creeping up in my thoughts, so I'm going to talk about it here seperately.
There's a bit of a transformative effect when falling in love, pertaining to music. I work retail and there's the ever-present music playing over the speakers all day. And I'll admit, there's a lot of songs I've heard on that radio that I really like. There's tracks that get me to smile and hum along just a bit whenever they start playing. And typically, that was the extent of it.
But then, something changed. I fell in love.
And it wasn't something I was expecting, either. 98% of all songs are love songs, we all know that. Some definitely jive better than others. And many made me smile. Yet, after I visited with that man I fell in love with, something specific changed. It was one song. I've heard that song a hundred times. A thousand times, even. And every time, I'd liked it. It was fun, and vibrant, had a good rhythm and beat. But after I well and truly fell in love, that song suddenly resonated within me. It wasn't enough that it had already made me feel good whenever it played. Now it filled me so completely with an excited, enthusiastic energy that I couldn't contain. When that song started playing, my thoughts always drifted to him. I'd start lip syncing with the song, even dancing to it. I just couldn't help this radiating energy it stirred within me.
I imagined myself playing this song on an MP3 player (ask your grandparents, they used to be a big deal) as I gave him this big, long hug. Then I let him go but rest my arms on his shoulders, lip syncing some of the lyrics to him.
And if there's no tomorrow,
and all we have is here and now.
I'm happy just to have you, hon
you're all the love I need somehow.
And then I smirk and wink at him, and break away with a giggle.
I feel it so completely and clearly...this wellspring of excitement and giddyness every time that song plays. I can play it on a loop a dozen times and never tire of it. I love it, I love the energy it stirs within me, I love him.
