(no subject)
just wanted to get some thoughts out, and there's no one else to really talk to. so i figured i'd talk to everyone all at once.
i've been thinking a lot about you lately. i'm not sure why... maybe it's because baseball is going on again. who knows. the yankees are doing pretty good, but we're having problems with our pitching staff, like always. i know you'd be just as frustrated as i am about that. i still have the ticket stubs from the time you took me to yankee stadium. we saw the twins play them in an exhibition, remember? oh well.
i heard this song today, and i've heard it a bunch of times before. i guess it's because i've been thinking about you lately, but it really struck a nerve with me today. after i got home from work, i listened to it a few times. now i know that the song was originally written as the son speaking to the father, but why can't it be the other way around? the father speaking to the son? i think, at least with our relationship, it makes sense. it kinda gives me a little comfort to think of it that way, too... sort of a bit of closure. maybe it helps me understand you a little better. i don't know. either way, for whatever reason, the song really brought me some peace today... even though i realized today that i really miss you. i know that's weird, considering the past, but... yeah, i kind of miss you. too bad we can't watch any games this season. i think i would've liked that. here's the lyrics to the song:
Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard
Tomorrow leave the windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Won't you help me if you can to shake this anger
I need your gentle hands to keep me calm
`Cause I never thought I'd lose
I only thought I'd win
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin
I can't believe you love me
I never thought you'd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son
Things we never said come together
The hidden truth no longer haunting me
Tonight we touched on the things that were never spoken
That kind of understanding sets me free
'Cause I never thought I'd lose
I only thought I'd win
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin
I can't believe you love me
I never thought you'd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son.
