Wow. It’s been a year already. It’s been exactly one year since I met him. Who’d have thought so much could happen in 365 days? And yes, this is yet another love song. Deal with it. Download it. Whitney has an amazing voice.
We all wanna make a place in this world, we all want our voices to be heard. Every one wants a chance to be someone.We all have dreams we need to dream, sweeter than any star you can reach ‘cause when you reach and find, you've found someone. You'll hold this world's most priceless thing, the greatest gift this life can bring is when you look back and know you were lovedThings have gotten so much more stressful since I’ve gotten this thing…I love my ring, I love my fiancé, I love my family, and I love my life, but I wish things weren’t so dang crazy now. I’m not ready to start thinking about wedding planning! Besides, we still have a few things to figure out.
You were loved by someone, touched by someone, held by someone, meant something to someone Loved somebody, touched somebody's heart along the way You can look back and say, you were loved He wants us to move in together. I’m not entirely against the idea, because we’re engaged, but it still doesn’t quite sit well with me. We spoke about moving in together over the summer, but I feel like I’ve “come to my senses”. Baby, I love you with all of my heart. You’re the love of my life and I really enjoy being with you. That being said: NO. NO. NO. The answer is undeniably and absolutely NO. That’s called “living in sin”. If we’re to be married, we’re going to do it the right way. Marriage is a process. We are not going to do this “playing house” thing. If you’re going to live with me, it’s because we’re married or some other unforeseen circumstance has come up, not because we’re engaged and you hate your roommates. The engagement is simply a (very exciting) step toward marriage.
You can have diamonds in your hands, have all the riches in the land But, without love, you don't really have a thing, no no.When somebody cares that you're alive, when somebody trusts you with their life that's when you'll know that you have all you need.You'll hold this world's most priceless gift, the finest treasure that there is you can look back and know you were loved Have you ever seen “Destroyed in Seconds” on the Discovery Channel? WATCH IT! I dunno why…I just enjoy watching things explode. The one explosion at a chemical plant sent out a visible shockwave and registered as an earthquake on a seismograph 300 miles away. That’s some pretty impressive power right there. But the “good” thing is that only two people died. There could have been a lot more. There was actually a car in the area that was thrown in the air by the shockwave, but everyone in it was okay. I LIKE WATCHING THINGS BLOW UP!!! Hahaha.
You were loved by someone, touched by someone, held by someone, meant something to someone Loved somebody, touched somebody's heart along the way You can look back and say, You were loved I got a call at 1.30 in the morning today. I was wide awake and couldn’t sleep, so it was okay. Actually, it was more than okay. We got to talking again about things and plans and people and kids and all that jazz. The vagina is not a pez dispenser…I’m not planning on having more than 3 kids, 4 if there are multiples. But of course, you know because I said that, God is probably looking down going “ha…that’s what you think.” I really enjoy talking to him. We’ve both been getting a lot of advice from people, and they seem really skeptical when we say we haven’t argued yet. Well, we really haven’t. There’s been some tension, but we’ve never actually gotten into an argument. It’s bound to happen eventually, it has to. That’s one lesson that I’m not going to repeat. It’s NOT okay to never argue. Conflict forces growth and change. I’m not saying that you have to fight on a regular basis, but it’s necessary to hash it out every now and then. I mean, look at me and Joey. We never argued. Not once. Three and some change years and there was never so much as a “shut up” or raised voice. Do you know why? Because a lot of things were just pushed aside or ignored. Avoidance is not a style of conflict resolution or management. Things probably would have ended differently if there had been an argument or two instead of the veil of “Everything is great! I love it! Yay! Let’s go run through a field of flowers and enjoy our so-called perfection!” Bullshit. But I digress: my mom gave me some really good advice. Lay the ground rules beforehand. Don’t wait until you’re mad at each other to try to figure out what’s fair and what’s not fair.
1) No name calling
2) If you don’t mean it, don’t say it
3) Don’t bring up the past
4) Keep your hands to yourself
5) Its okay to walk out
I don’t really know why we’d get into it anytime soon, but I think my mom is right: it’s better to have it laid out now, rather than wait until something happens and then try to sort through things. I’m not gonna get all spastic, though. When it happens it happens, and we’ll be better off for it.
So many roads that you can take, whatever way you go, don't take that road alone. It's better you should know As I was cleaning up my room, I’m found a bunch of old diaries and read through them. It was hard not to laugh at myself. Everything was so trivial, but to the 17 year old me, it was the end of the world. I mean, really! Almost every page says something about “this boy looked at me” or “this boy talked to me” or something like that. Gosh…I can’t believe how “simple” I was… But again: there are things in entries from a few years ago that told me something was wrong, but I didn’t do anything. I just ignored them. *SLAP* 2005… “Maybe if I were prettier and less quirky and more normal he’d like me more.” I want to go back in time and shake some sense into myself. What the hell were you thinking, woman?!
You were loved by someone, touched by someone, held by someone, meant something to someone Loved somebody, touched somebody's heart along the way You can look back and say, you did okay You were loved It’s so cold, but that’s okay. I’m not at school. I went home for the last few days before my Japanese exam (it was the only exam I had). I figured “eh, why not?” after all, I was going to be bored out of my mind with nothing to do from Friday until 9am on Thursday. So I went home and helped my mom with cooking and starting to set up Christmas stuff. I didn’t realize how much I missed it. For the past few years, I’ve been away when all the decorations went up. I really enjoyed putting the tree up and bringing out the ornaments. Of course, she started asking me more about her future son-in-law. Lol.
So remember to tell that special one, You were loved, you were loved, you were loved You were loved
