We spent some time
together walking
Spent some time just talking
about who we were
You held my hand so
very tightly
And told me what we could be
dreaming of

There's nothing like you and I

We spent some time
together drinking
Spent some time just thinking
about days of joy
As our hearts started
beating faster
I recalled your laughter
from long ago

There's nothing like you and I

We spent some time
together crying
Spent some time just trying
to let each other go
I held your hand so
very tightly
And told you what i would
be dreaming of

There's nothing like you and I
So why do i even try?


"Nothing Like You and I" by the Perishers.
I like the words but not just for myself.
This is what love is, isn't it?

To be attracted to someone, to open up for them, to walk away when its over.

Each love story is different. And no matter how wrong two people are for each other, it's nobody's busines but those two. I think we are too keen to protect those we care about. That's not wrong. But we should stop and spend more time learning to recognize when two people are truly and utterly in love.

And leave them to hurt when the wound bleeds. As it will certainly, because any kind of love is but a wound. And there's no need to bind the hurting with a fine speech about hope. You only have to hold them and cry with them, and they'll realise it ain't that bad after all - everybody bleeds. If you've never bawled till strength and spirit are worn thin, please, just shut up.

What an astounding dichotomy love is. It strips me and leaves me vulnerable yet it gives me strength and inspiration like nothing i've ever known. I love love. I love that God made it this way. It tests us, makes us grow, and when we falter, shows us for the horribly flawed humans we are. And yet we learn that the ability to forgive is divine. Makes me smile knowing that. Eases my wounds. Makes you absolutely beautiful.
