My blog title is the name of a song recorded in the early 90's by Billy Dean. It was a special song for us. A couple of months into conversating on the telephone I caught the song on the radio while driving to work. It stuck with me. Later while talking on the phone the song came up.
Another song was Shut Up and Kiss Me by Mary Chapin Carpenter. First time we met-finally after 6 months on the phone while driving to lunch it came on the radio and we both laughed. It took another month until I finally got her to shut up and kiss me. Worth waiting for.
I made a mixed tape and presented it with the songs and some others. Tried to let the music tell my feelings.Made 2 copies and kept 1 for myself which I still have and listen to but have since put them on CDs.
You came to me needing a place to hide and heal. I couldn't wait to come home each day knowing you would be there. I remember walking through the door one day to find you in the kitchen. Pots and pans going on the stove and something in the oven. You didn't hear me come in and for a while I just stood in the doorway and watched. Smiling to myself as you sang along with the music. You were wearing your sweat pants and one of my denim shirts.
I closed the door and you turned around to greet me with flour on your nose and cheek. I wanted to rush over and hold you in my arms. You looked so cute standing there. I knew you were in a tender frame of mind and didn't want to do anything to make you feel uncomfortable.
You needed strength and I tried to be strong for you even though it tore me up to see you hurting and to hear you in the other room crying at night.
You told me many times during that week that I was your rock. I was then. I always will be.
