A little love talk

I met my husband in 1998. We both can honestly say that we just knew when we met each other that it was right. When couples just starting out ask us how we knew the time was right to get married we tell them that we always knew. That it isn’t a feeling you have to wait for or grow into. And even though I had to move 2,000 miles to be with him leaving behind family, friends, career, etc. I knew that what I was gaining was worth it. I was gaining forever and a day with the one I loved truly, madly, and deeply. And every once in a while something reminds me of those moments almost 8 years ago when I was smittenly, crazily falling in love. I jumped in whole heartedly even though part of me was scared to death. And I haven’t regretted a moment of my life since then.

Before I moved to MN I got the impression from a few people that I was making a mistake. That you can’t possibly fall in love with someone “over the phone” and that you need months of face to face time to be sure. We spent a grand total of two weeks and two days face to face and 3 months of nightly phone calls before I moved permanently to MN. Because our beginning was not public, occurring mostly over a phone line, I sometimes felt like he was my special secret.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
