there was this day.
i was cold. it was raining.
you were wearing a jacket i hate and could never tell you.
you and i were never sure of where to stand when we were next to each other.
i remember looking around at all the idiots snuggled under umbrellas with people who, one day, won’t matter.
you were laughing at something inane i had said.
i was tired. my feet were cold. i’d forgotten to bring my jersey for my bi-weekly migration to your house.
it was muddy. i couldn’t light my cigarette without it being extinguished by some bloody annoying drop.
my hair looked rotten. i had no make up on.
it should have been the worst moment of my life.
it had all the makings of a crap day.
and then they played this song and internally i wanted to scream.
it was so true. i’d never felt this before from someone.
that emanating grace that loved, no matter how crap the day was making itself out to be.
with you, the semantics didn’t matter. ever.
and when it played, your hand on my shoulder.
i squeezed it and thought it the warmest blanket i’d ever held.
i wanted to tell you then. but i was shy.
i wanted to tell you that you meant the world, the stars, the moon and the unicorns to me.
i wanted to tell you that with you in the room, i was always okay, no matter the day.
and. as this came on my itunes tonight, the world stopped and turned around and looked at me and said
at least you had the sunshine today.
this song is still true today.
and it will be tomorrow.
and the day after too.
i’ll be there – the parlotones.
I’ll, I’ll, Still beauty, colourful,
These blossoms are up for bloom.
One promise is just like a heart,
They get broken. But I’ll try my hardest.
Even if you’re rich,
Even if you’re poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.
Even if you’re strong
Even if you’re not
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.
Angelic, little princess,
I wanna wake up
To your face every morning
Another love song
A silly love song
But it’s our song
And it’s forever
Even if you’re rich,
Even if you’re poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.
Even if you’re strong
Even if you’re not
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.
This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever
I’ll, I’ll, I’ll be there for you.
Even if you’re rich,
Even if you’re poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.
Even if you’re strong
Even if you’re not
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.
This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever
