Sometimes I look at my kids or Jimmy, and I am so overcome with emotion that I feel my chest tighten like I'm going to burst in to tears. "I love you" isn't enough. I don't just love you, I love the way you laugh, the way you dance, the way you sleep, the way you kiss, the way you wrestle... I could go on forever, and still feel like I missed something. What does this come from? Is this normal or am I just a blubbering weirdo?
I remember in the past, I thought I was in love several times. I just knew that the feelings of infatuation were definitely love. That feeling doesn't even come close to when the world around me softens and slows, and I look, finally seeing the masterpiece we have everyday, right in front of us.
"For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
Cause it led me here to this." ~Darius Rucker

i know what you mean. Although to break up this super sappy moment, I do have to mock you slightly for quoting Hootie ;) Only you!
ReplyDeleteHootie is awesome, and I should have added him to my above list of loves or maybe just make it an entire new post! But he goes by darius rucker now, which means I can slightly mask his identity, right? I was just totally busted...
