Ten Million Years

it's such a simple thing.

i never feel this way.

i have nightmares

i have dreams of you gone.

there is something in you i want today.

so hide the bones away beneath the yellow lines.

you're scared of what you lose

or what you might gain this time.

i love you more than i should.

i would wrap my heart in bands of rosewood.

i love you more than i should.

i would stay beside you here ten million years.

you see yourself in the mirror.

you see yourself at night.

you see yourself in the gutter, baby

you see yourself like a star shining bright.

i love you more than i should.

i would stay beside you here ten million years.

every minute every hour

every second you take me over.

every night of every day i wait i take

i know i take but i love you more than i should.

i would stay inside you here ten million years.

Tonight someone asked me a few questions... I'm not sure where they came from, but she asked, and I answered. She started with:

Do you believe in Soul Mates.

I said no.

She asked why.

I said that I didn't think that would be fair... that if there was only ONE person in the Entire World that was meant for you, what are the odds you'd ever find them? Would that mean you'd spend the rest of you life alone? Or even if you married someone who wasn't your soulmate, what would that mean? Would that mean you'd be destined spending the rest of your life waiting for someone else? My theory is that any one person can fall in love with any other person if in the right situation.

She said that was kind of sad, unromantic.

I said that it wasn't just that... I mean, there is romance and there Are people out there with whom its easier to fall in love. Some people are just plain more compatible than others. With some people, all it takes to fall in love is a look. With others, it takes more. Either way, though, it's work.

Then she asked if I'd ever fallen so completely in love that I'd lost all reason.

My answer? Duh... I go crazy and lose all reason whenever I fall in LIKE with someone, let alone love...

She said, You know what I mean...

And I said, yes, yes I know exactly what you mean. And I used recent examples to help prove my point.

She then asked if I'd ever been so crazy in love that I thought I couldn't live without the person.

I hesited before I answered.

I thought about it.

Hard.

I didn't want to lie or to tell a half truth.

When I answered,

The answer was Yes.

...

i would wrap my heart in bands of rosewood.
i love you more than i should.
i would stay beside you here ten million years.

Ok... I'm going to go grab some Zzz'z.... I'll give you a little recap of my vacation another time. Good night, dear reader. Good night.
