thinking...

I remember where I was when I first heard the song. Standing there, in the middle of my room in solitude...motionless. Overwhelmed. I couldn't believe that it was possible for someone to write something so...perfect. So simple, yet so sweet, but intense, passionate and romantic at the same time. I had never heard anything like it before in my life, and when the emotions finally hit me, I cried for hours. The song floored me. I wanted to know what it would feel like to feel something so pure...something so deep towards someone so amazing. I wanted to live those words. The song was the antithesis of evaporated. The piece of the puzzle I had been missing for so very long.

I listened to that song for days. Searched for different versions. Sat in my room and took in each word. Each solitary note. I listened until I passed out from pure mental exhaustion. This happened for days on end. It was like someone took my mind and shook it like a snow globe. I have not been the same since. Usually I will play a song repetitively for a few days until I tire of it. It's been four years and I can still listen to this song over and over and never get sick of hearing it. I still remember how overwhelmingly powerful my emotions were the first time the song ever found its' way to my ears, for it is truly a sonic explosion of pure love.

The world exploded into love all around me, and every time I take a look around me I have to smile.
