You know how when people say things like “music is life” or the type of music you listen to is indicative of how you feel?  You never truly understand the lyrics to a song, or the sentiment behind it until it has become an occurrence in your life.  I mean, that’s the only way you can relate, right?  Well, out of nowhere, as I’m sitting with my consistent thoughts of you, this song by Patti Label came to mind called, “My Love, Sweet Love.”  It goes:
 
My love Sweet love
With you nothing else matters
You're my heart
And my heart is yours
My love Sweet love
For me there's no one better
Cross my heart I could not love you more
And I swear to you There's no one more important
And I trust you with My life
So I pledge my heart to you
 
 
I can think of a million ways to come up with ways to profess my love for you, to tell you how much you mean to me, but these words here . . .   Picture being stranded and abandoned somewhere, anywhere.  All I have is you, and all you have is me.  For me, that’s more than enough.  Together, we could figure out the rest.  In essence, there is no one else that I would rather be stranded with than you.  That’s how much I love you.  That’s how much I value the man that you are.  That’s how much I am pleased to have you in my life.  That’s how much I care. 
 
Now, I here’s another one that has the same sentiment.  It’s “Always and Forever” by Heatwave, and more recently done by Luther Vandross.    It goes:
 
Always and Forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true . . .
 
The last line, “that somehow came true.”  We didn’t know the rhyme or the reason behind the atoms that are you and I, yet, somehow, we bonded, and that bond grew into something neither of us ever even anticipated.    If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. . . I knew I loved you the very first time I saw you.  I was crushing on your bad bad.  I don’t think you know how heavy you were on my radar.  Thinking back to that time, I just liked to watch you.  I liked talking to you.  You had an heir of “different” about you that was thick in the atmosphere . . . it was consuming and overpowering and daunting.  You were like a moth to a flame.  I was the moth, and you were the flame . . . it was like you were the hot stove and with a warning label that says “do not touch” but I didn’t give a ****.  I touched it anyway, became consumed by your flame, and the burn been slow, steady, and passionate.  You are my fire . . . .
 
. . . And so, the song continues
 
 
And I know tomorrow
Will still be the same
Cause we’ve got a life of love
That won’t ever change and . . .
. . . everyday
Love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away
With a smile
Take time to tell me
You really care
And we’ll share tomorrow
Together
I’ll always love you, forever
 
Whew chile . . .
 
“cause we’ve got a life of love, that won’t ever change”
“melt all my heart away with a smile”
“and we’ll share tomorrow together”
“I’ll always love you, forever”
 
Tattoo this across my chest and I will wear the words on my exposed breast confessing the love, and adoration that I have for you….
 
It doesn’t get any simpler than this love. . .  Can you agree?
 
I could go on, but I’ll stop now and let you take this all in. . . .
 . . . as always, I love you, Huzbae
 
Since been,
 
Ree
