Day 244 - Never Felt This Way



"There will never come a day you will ever hear me say that I want or need to be without you.  I want to give my all.  Baby, just hold me, simply control me, because your arms, they keep away the lonely.  When I look into your eyes, then I realize all I need is you in my life, all I need is you in my life.  Cuz I never felt this way about loving.  No, never felt so good, baby, never felt this way about loving.  It feels so good." 
This song is a beautiful one.  I have loved it since I first heard it years ago.  While it is short, it has a powerful message that speaks of a deeper experience of love.  The singer has come to recognize that the person in her life is truly irreplaceable.  She needs this love in her life, and she is willing to give her all to make sure that it remains.  The presence of her love, the comfort that her love's arms brings, the security she feels, and the fact that that presence has the power to make her feel connected... all of this contribute to this being an amazing, indispensable love.  I find this interesting, because not all people's presence has that ability, so when you find someone who has the ability to change you in a positive sense with their presence, that is something to pay attention to and hold to.
And it's been said that eyes are the windows to the soul.  There is something about looking into someone's eyes and seeing things that words might not be able to articulate.  There are moments when that kind of connection can make it clear just how deeply we need other folks, especially people who can make us feel loved and precious.  She has had such a moment in her love's eyes that has made her realize just how important love is.
And in all her life, she has never found a love that has made her feel the way that this one has.  She has undoubtedly experienced love before, but there is something about this one that makes all the previous ones pale in comparison.  It's been said that one day you will meet someone who makes you suddenly realize why none of the other relationships worked out, and I would venture to say that she has met that one....  While love should always inspire confidence, it is clear that this particular relationship has opened her to an understanding of love that she hasn't previously possessed.  And it feels good....  :)
