... and I need you... said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now... and I don't know how I could do without... I just need you now... -- "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum.
That song has played in my head over and over and over since the day Amanda decided she didn't want to be with me.
That song also has so much meaning to me. It hits close to home.
You don't know the things you miss in life until they're gone; whether it's a bath, a bed, food every night, or a companion to hold you, it's all the same... as Joni Mitchell sang, 'Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone... they paved paradise to put up a parking lot."
Amanda introduced me to that song. I think I'd heard it in the past, but never really cared to listen to it until Amanda pointed it out and asked me if I knew what it meant.
In other, slightly less depressing news, I should be getting a car on Tuesday. I would have had the car today but it did not pass smog inspection. That problem was fixed, but as I work all day on Monday (literally, all day), I won't be able to get it until Tuesday. It's going to be a 1999 Dodge Neon R/T. I'm excited.
I'm going to bed. I need to be alert since I work (literally) all day tomorrow, too. *yawn*
