Slow down everyone you're movin' too fast...
Well lovers I have a lot to say. Let us begin with the extraordinary night that was the Jack Johnson Concert. ALO opened for Jackers and they were great. They're kind of quirky as far as songwriting goes (i.e. 'Do You Like My Pecs?'), but really fun and upbeat. I loved their last song and am trying to figure out what it is called, so that I may download it and listen to it every day. I also loved their second-last song 'Girl, I Wanna Lay You Down.' Truly a great song, plus Jack came out and played/sang on it with them, which was obviously incredible.
Next was Matt Costa, who I think is just phenominal. His set was great too, but I was disappointed that he didn't play 'Sunshine.' However, I definitely plan on checking him out again if he's in town in the future, and perhaps he will play it then! I can't wait to get back to Waterloo so that I can listen to his songs again. If you've never heard of him or his stuff before, definitely give him a listen. 'Alistair' is another great one. Caitlin and I had a little moment on that one ;)
And then the main attraction... my lover, my soulmate, my husband and dream man - JACK. We are on a first-name basis, in case you were wondering. I could go on and on, recite all the songs he played (including inserting a few random bars of Zeppelin more than once), and talk about the overall experience. But in truth, I don't have the words. I waited for this concert for so long, and now it's over. Every single second of it was beyond great. During 'Constellations' everyone in the audience broke out their lighters for a great twinkley scene. It was so beautiful that Jack stopped partway through the song to tell us it said a lot about our crowd that we didn't revert to an all-cellphone illumination, as other cities have done. Needless to say, that made the audience go pretty wild.
It was hard for me not to think of him throughout the show. Especially since we finally talked (briefly) before I left the house yesterday. I know this year is going to be a confusion-filled one for me. A lot of 'What does this mean? Does it mean anything? Is he thinking about me too?' blah blah blah. I hate it already and it hasn't even begun yet. I quite honestly don't know how I am going to make it through all of this. I never really stop thinking about him, which perhaps is stupid or pathetic, I don't know. All I do know is that I'm not really happy about things right now, and I hope something happens soon to change that. Anything- something from him, some validation or simply him saying 'Yeah, I really miss you, too.' Do you think that will happen? I think maybe I need to meet someone new, but there are no guarantees there either. And I'm not really a fan of getting hurt more... I just want the good relationship I had to be given more of a change to develop. The potential was extraordinary! I've been told that it will happen, that time is my only obstacle. I can wait, but I don't know if I can be patient, at least not emotionally. 'Sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away...' Truer words were never spoken.
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart. Like, why are we here? And, where do we go? And how come it's so hard? It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving, but I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together.
