You Love Me
Approaching a year of no writing.
An unintentional year of nothing.
"Nothing" is not the right word.
In fact, it seems like everything
has happened since moving here.
Like any other place I've lived, there's
been plenty of ups and downs. Higher and
lower than I've ever experienced, but it's
the nature of this city. Everything x 10.
I could go into all the gorey details
and come up with witty, cute ways to
talk about each and every one of them.
But Kimya's already done that for me.
I met him on Christmas Eve. Gaetano.
And who knew we'd be where we are now.
Just six short months later. I love him.
In a way that I never thought possible.
I can't thank Kimya enough for beating me
to the chase. Each and every word of her
song says exactly what I can't write on
my own right now. Instead of catching up,
I'm moving on. But, for today, reflecting
and being grateful for the words of another
artist being able to tell my story for me...
"I moved around from town to town
lots of people around, but still so lonely
Friendships would grow then I'd hit the road
making up excuses for why I had to leave
Always been too scared and unprepared
to let anybody get too close to me
But when I met you right away I knew
you would never ever ever hurt me
And the road's still long but you come along
and you hold my hand and you understand
When I look at you I can't believe it's true
you're all I ever dreamed of and you love me"
