sometimes, i just can't find the words to express how i feel. there is so much to this world, so much to my life, that it utterly astounds me. like a wave, crashing in my chest, stealing my air

When the professor who was my mentor during my undergraduate years retired last spring, in her farewell speech she (of course, having taught English for over twenty years) talked of the pleasures of reading.

One of those pleasures, she said, was reading those passages...the ones that made you catch your breath, put your hand to your heart, and say, "Oh..."

This was one of those passages for me.

Beautiful words, Kim.

yesterday was one of those hand-to-heart days. today's looking like it might be, as well.

wake up saying "oh..."

i heart you.

Something is wrong with the sum of us
That I can’t seem to erase
How can I be the only one
Without a smile on my face

Well now, you’re laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

You show your pain like it really hurts
And I can’t even start to feel mine
Well, I’m standing in place
With my head first and I shake, I shake
I see your progress stretched out for miles and miles

You’re laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive, yeah
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

This is the sound that I make
These are the words I chose
Somehow the right thing to say
Just won’t come out
Just won’t come out

And you’re laughing out loud
At the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

i thought we had this conversation before. since you used matchbox twenty, though, i'll go easy on you.

this time.

be yourself. open your mouth wide, and we'll laugh together. it really is just that easy.
