Day 5 of 30

Topic: A Song that Reminds Me of Someone

I tend to think in songs... Therefore almost everyone I love and care for... as well as a few dirty scoundrels that I do not... remind me of songs. But I guess I can dedicate this one to Hubby. Therefore the song in question is "the Truth" by India Airie. One of my absolute favorite songs, and again already was before he came into my life. Everytime I heard it, I always wanted it to match my thoughts of whatever fool I was infatuated with at the time. And it never, ever did. So I stopped trying. And then I met him... and literally every word of the song came to life in my mind.
"I remember the very first day that I saw him... I found myself immediately intrigued by him...It's almost like I knew this man from another life, like back then maybe I was his husband and maybe he was my wife"... I'm never ever struck by people... Not in a way that moves me. I've never been attracted to a person at first glance, or at all without knowing them at all... But with him I was, and I ignored it. But when we spoke, and interacted... it felt like I had known him before. There was something so familiar about our interaction... and the same was true the first time we spent time together... the first time we held hands... the first time he held me... It just felt like that feeling was what I had been missing until the first time I felt it...
"And anything I don't like about him is fine by me... Cuz its not hard for me to understand him cuz he's so much like me..." SMH this part is more true even than I realized before typing it... I always say that we are as alike as we are different. The same things that I love and admire about him are the very things that make me want to strangle him... And yet I can't see myself without him. Even when I'm angered by his actions, I can usually understand them.

"And it's truly my pleasure to share his company, and I know it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes" - self explanatory and all so true... Thank God for him daily and have always been appreciative of his presence. Because it's a gift. [[mushy... I know... but true... smh what have I turned into]]
Chorus (my favorite part... the most true part.. the part that outshines all the others): "because he is the truth, said he is so real, and I love the way, that he makes me feel... and if I am a reflection of him then ooooh, I must be fly, because his light it shines so bright, I wouldn't lie" <--- PREACH INDIA GIRL! lol she must know him... But he is honest... and genuine... and true to himself... and true to me... and any other adjective that one would associate with the word TRUTH... he is the real deal... and I've always recognized that in him... somehow...

"How can the same man that makes me so mad, turn right around and kiss me so soft?" <--- AGAIN... lol the same person who infuriates me beyond recognition is the only person who can make anything better... irony?... cruel joke?... who knows! "If he ever left me I wouldn't even be mad" <--- Noooot entirely true "Cuz there's a lesson in every blessin and I'm glad that I know him at all" <---- I guess I could get to this point one day if he ever left me... lol cuz he's that awesome... but i'd be pissed... lol I think that was just love talkin...
Chorus repeats... Then the Bridge: "I love the way he thinks... I love the way he speaks" <--- He's so cautious, and so deliberate in his thoughts and actions. I don't always agree with it... and it's not perfect... but I can appreciate it. " I love the way that he treats his mama, I love that Gap in between his teeth" <--- I adore the way he treats his mom, and cares for her and about her... heart warming... and I love every imperfection by man's standards... because to me... well yeah... "I love him in EVERY way, that a woman can love a man, from personal to universal, but most of all it's unconditional..."<--- self explanatory. Couldn't have said it better myself "that's the way I feeel..... There aint no substitute for the truth, either it is or it isn't (cuz he is the truth) and the truth it needs no proof, either it is or it isnt ... and I know the truth by the way it feels... And if I am a reflection of him mmmm, then I must be fly because because he is, yes he is... I wonder does he know??? " <----mmm [[deep sigh]].. YEP... Not to mention that the song begins with "Let me tell you why I love him"... lol smh Anyone who knows me knows that I quote that part ALL THE TIME... And what's even funnier is that I felt this way about him even before I knew I was madly in love... Crazy right??
