New Relationship Soundtrack
Right now: (Smirk and sigh)…I am thinking about D…. This isn’t an unusual occurrence. It happens often. What is a little different is that D and his family are especially on my mind this weekend. Genuine care and concern for him and his family is present. Prayers are sent up for them often.
Last weekend: So…G and S weekend was a success. The soundtrack for the weekend was Lauryn Hill’s “The Sweetest Thing”. Here are the lyrics:
The sweetest thing I've ever known
Was like the kiss on the collarbone
Soft caress of happiness
The way you walk, your style of dress
I wish I didn't get so weak
Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak
Makes me argue just to see
How much you're in love* with me
See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known,
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known
I get mad when you walk away (don't walk away)
So I tell you leave, when I mean stay**
Warm as the sun dipped in black
Fingertips on the small of my back
More valuable than all I own
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known,
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known
It was the...Ah
I tried to explain
Ah...but baby, it's in vain
Speaking on my mother's phone
The touching makes me think I'm grown, (you ain't grown)
Sweet prince of the ghetto
Your kisses taste like armoretto
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end***
But then again, I'm, I'm not alone****
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known,
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known
*For clarification, we are not at “love” yet. Care and compassion are growing though.
**You know, I love spending time with you. When I tell you not to come over, it is because I don’t want to be a hindrance to your success. You have so much going for you. Living up to your destiny takes a lot of time to execute. Please, take all of the time you need to complete your work. It will surely pay off in the end.
***Our times apart are not permanent. If anything, it makes the time we do spend together even more special. While we may not get to see each other as much as we like. This is simple preparing us for what we will have to face on a larger scale in the future. Lets get ready…
****Even when we are apart, I feel connected to you. That is very comforting.
Reading my bible: I reread the Song of Solomon this week. This book is read whenever I begin to feel the way I am feeling right now.
Interesting passages-
1. Why I like to kiss him: “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—for your love* is more delightful than wine.” (Ch. 1 Vs. 2)
*Again, we are not at “love” yet…
2. Why I am happy to be with him: “Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.” (Ch. 2. Vs. 3)
3. How he holds me (makes me feel so comfortable): “His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. (Ch. 2 Vs. 6)
Isn’t the bible great?
This weekend: So….I’m listening to my real player a few songs came on that remind me of how I feel about him. Justin Timberlake’s “Take It From Here” describes how I try to care for my boyfriend. This is how I want him to care for me as well. We should be able to show stable, unconditional, supportive love(deepening, strengthening emotional/ spiritual attachment for now) reciprocally. I am just glad that my D has a cooperative spirit and like mind. Of course we have our obstacles, but prayer, patience and compassion are the key to our success. Here are the lyrics:
“I wanna be your lake, for your bay
And any problems that you have
I wanna wash 'em away
I wanna be your sky
So blue and high
And everytime you think of me
I wanna blow your mind
I wanna be your air
So sweet and fair
So when you feel that you can't breathe
Baby, I'll be there
I wanna be your answer, all the time
When you see how I put your life before mine
With no question
When all the love feels gone
And you can't carry on
Don't worry,
I'ma take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, everytime
Don't worry,
I'ma take it from here
I wanna hold your hands
Review all your plans
I wanna make sure everyone of your dreams will stand
I wanna be your broadway show on review (Why?)
So I can act out how God was when He made you
I wanna be your lighthouse when you get lost
I'll light a bright and shining path to help you across
I wanna be your mother, wait
See what I see
And when you see that can't nobody hold you like me
Cause I love you
When all the love feels gone
And you can't carry on
Don't worry,
I'ma take it from here (Take it from here, baby)
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, everytime
Don't worry, (no no)
I'ma take it from here
And when there's no one there to hold
And you realize the world is cold
Don't worry,
I'ma take it from here
That's what I'm gonna do
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, every time (Don't you worry, baby, baby)
Don't worry, girl (Baby)
I'ma take it from here (I'll take you wherever you want)
Give me one reason why we should not be leaving
This world is so deceiving, the time is now
Let's fly away speeding
Through the Garden of Eden
Where all the sweet breathing of love surrounds
When all the love feels gone
And you can't carry on
Don't worry,
I'ma take it from here
Just as sure as the sun will shine
Every morning, everytime
Don't worry, (no no)
I'ma take it from here
Love ain't always the way they write in books (No, no)
See there's the good guys
And also heartbreak crooks
Your hearts the real book
Just take a look inside
'Cause it's a colorful illustrated guide
So there you go
Don't worry
I'll be the one
To help you weather the storm
I'll be there
No matter what time
No matter what place
You can always count on me
I'll take it from here”
I want to take D away from all that is negative in his life. While this is impossible in practice, in theory it would be my pleasure to absorb his pain and heartache. It hurts me that he hurts. I am just so happy that we are together. As J reminded me: “U two will be fine as long as u trust in God and let him guide u two.” I honestly pray so. We must continue to live the following scripture: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Phlilippians 4:14
Amen.
