Day 207 - My All

Since the blog entry yesterday was about giving your all, this song came to mind, and I figured I'd blog about it.

"I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.  If it’s wrong to love you, then my heart just won’t let me right, cuz I’ve drowned in you and I won’t pull through without you by my side."  There is (or possibly was) a love relationship that is apparently no longer active.  She is apparently not used to sleeping alone, but she desires to be back in the relationship.  She is so deeply invested that she is willing to be wrong if it means remaining connected to the one she loves.  She can have many applications and issues, so some of this drive can be good (to be in a healthy relationship that society might not be open enough to accept) or bad (to be in an unhealthy relationship or a relationship that hurts other people - i.e. a relationship with a married person).  She feels that she can't go on without this person in her life.  While I will always argue that there should be no person should ever have such power in your life that you cannot live with them, I can understand the strength of a love that makes it feel as if life would be painfully empty without their presence and what they mean.  And that's where she is. 
"I’d give my all to have just one more night with you.  I’d risk my life to feel your body next to mine, cuz I can’t go on living in the memory of our song.  I’d give my all for your love tonight."  Because of this, she is willing to give her all, to sacrifice, to do what is necessary to have that time with her love, even if it's just for the night.  I'm pretty sure this is about more than sex, and I think for her, even if they just spend the night in each other's arms, that will be enough, because it's about the connection.  Sometimes, love does take risks and sometimes it requires us giving when we otherwise wouldn't or we don't always want to.  But if the love and the relationship are worth it, then sometimes you have to get beyond yourself and your comfort zone and do what's necessary to make things work.
"Baby, can you feel me, imagining I’m looking in your eyes?  I can see you clearly, vividly emblazoned in my mind, and yet you’re so far, like a distant star I’m wishing on tonight."  The memory of her love is strong in her mind despite the distance.  She can feel the person, and she is wondering if the same is true on the other end.  The heart doesn't feel physical distance, but it can feel the emotional space when there is an issue or separation.  And when it feels that, the emotions can get intense and pull on you.  And it can make you wanna give your all...
