My Singin' Legs

You read that right; I fell in love with my best friend and it's been a dream come true!  He was right there all along, just being my best friend and all the while he was in love with me and I was in love with him.  All the feelings I had that thought were inconsequential and just normal when a guy and a girl were best friends turned out to be love, real love.  I would have never guessed, but always hoped for in some way.  I said on some many occasions to so many people, "Dave and I would make the perfect couple, but..." and I would fill in the blank with any kind of excuse I could come up with on the spot.  Generally, it was not wanting to ruin the friendship we had, which turns out that was his excuse as well.  And then one day, a moment between best friends happens and a kiss completely changes your life! Here's what how it happened... First off, you need to understand how long Dave and I have been friends and all that we have endured together and st...

This is a legit question I've been asking myself and my gal pals for the last several months. Hell, probably the last several years. Where are the real men? You know the type: confident, but not cocky; chivalrous and polite with a sense of pride in themselves that mirrors how men used to be before our time. Men who would make it a point to speak (physically) to a woman he found attractive or interesting. Men who would pursue a woman he was interested in dating; ask them to dinner, send flowers, walk them to the door after a date, simply tell them they are interested. They seemed genuinely interested, intrigued, and made the efforts to reveal it. They would do their hair and dress nice in order to make an impression. They would show up with flowers or something along those lines on a date. A time when holding hands was a big deal; the first kiss was an experience worth waiting for; men learned about their women; men were interested in pleasing (and not sexually) their women emotiona...

Today, I say good-bye to my dear friend, Ryan.  He was killed in a car accident on December 2nd.  We grew up together; I've known him and his family for 25 years.  He and his brothers were brothers to my sister and I since we met.  I will always remember Ryan with a smile on his face because he was always smiling.  My heart aches for his family and their loss.  We are all suffering, but we do know one thing: We WILL see Ryan again one day!  I miss you buddy! I can't be Losing sleep over this No I can't And now I cannot stop pacing Give me a few hours I'll have this all sorted out If my mind would just stop racing Cause I cannot stand still I can't be this unsturdy This cannot be happening This is over my head But underneath my feet Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat And everything will be back to the way that it was I wish that it was just that easy Cause I'm waiting for tonight Then waiting for tomorrow And I'm so...

Today is a musical kind of day for me.  Obviously, just look at my posts for today alone.  This song is for Chris.  ;) Been up all night Staring at you Wondering what's on your mind I've been this way With so many before But this feels like the first time You want the sunrise To go back to bed I want to make you laugh Mess up my bed with me Kick off the covers I'm waiting Every word you say I think I should write down I don't want to forget Come daylight Happy to lay here Just happy to be here I'm happy to know you Play me a song Your newest one Please leave your taste on my tongue Paperweight on my back Cover me like a blanket Mess up my bed with me Kick off the covers I'm waiting Every word you say I think I should write down I don't to forget Come daylight And no need to worry That's wastin time And no need to wonder What's been on my mind It's you It's you Every word you say I think I should write...

James Morrison is incredible and this is one of my favorite songs of his. *insert girly girly moment*  I hope one day this song will describe me and the man that I love.  *girly girly moment over* There was a time I had nothing to give I needed shelter from the storm I was in And when it all got too heavy You carried my weight And I want to hold you And I want to say That you are all that I need For you, I give my soul to keep You see me, love me Just the way I am For you I am a better man I said you are the reason For everything that I do I'd be lost, so lost, without you Under the stars At the edge of the sea There's no one around No one but you and me We'd talk for hours As time drifts away I could stay here for ever And hold you this way

I'm loving on this song!  Big time loving on it!  I love Ron's voice and his lyrics are powerful.  I just had to share... more so share with my future self, but share nonetheless. A drop in the ocean, A change in the weather, I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert, But I'm holding you closer than most, 'Cause you are my heaven. I don't wanna waste the weekend, If you don't love me, pretend A few more hours, then it's time to go. And as my train rolls down the East coast, I wonder how you keep warm. It's too late to cry, too broken to move on. Still I can't let you be, Most nights I hardly sleep. Don't see what you don't need, from me. Just a drop in the ocean, A change in the weather, I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert, But I'm holding you closer than most, 'Cause ...

This song made me smile when I heard it.  I looked up the lyrics and it was a little perfect.  You may know why it made me smile... you may not.  Just know, it was a good smile.  The kind the starts in the eyes, travels through your cheeks and slowly draws up the corners of your mouth as if in slow motion.  Then you realize your smile is so big your eyes close and happiness travels down your body like a current.  Those are the good smiles.  The ones you want.  The ones you truly deserve. Kiss Me Slowly Stay with me, baby stay with me Tonight, don't leave me alone Walk with me Come and walk with me To the edge of all we've ever known I can see you there with the city lights Fourteenth floor pale blue eyes I can breathe you in Two shadows standing by the bedroom door No, I could not want you more Then I did right then As our heads leaned in well I'm not sure what this going to be But with my eyes closed a...
