Song of the day.
Maxwell...I can't listen to him without thinking of the various times I've seen him in concert, the times my sister and I were so overcome by the moment that all we could do is look at each other with tears rolling down our cheeks. I push some tracks away entirely because they suck me back to moments that ache with sweetness that I don't want to think about.
Lifetime...
There was a time when love wasn't chosen
now I'm just open for more
now I'm just reaching out for something better
that I had before, girl
there ain't a bottom line in your world
Fortunate...
Fortunate to have you girl,
I'm so glad you're in my world,
Just as sure as the sky is blue,
I bless the day that I found you.

I am NOT gonna write another sad ass mopin' post. That's not a good look for me. I choose to remember a happier time with a smile and appreciation for when things were warmer, sweeter. I choose to celebrate that there was a love. And once upon a time, it was unspeakable in its beauty and intoxication. Once upon a time, when we walked into a room together, we raised the electric current of the area exponentially. We could practically read each others thoughts, and it was undeniable we were together in every sense of the word.
One day, we were emailing each other from our respective home towns, and it became a game to see who would email the other first before a given hour. I sent him an email just as I heard the warm "ding" to alert me of a new mail. I opened it, and we both had done the same thing. We had just purchased this latest Maxwell album, and we were both discussing this track...we quoted the same verse in our email exchange, the same series of lyrics. We quoted them as ones that seemed to define our current thoughts of each other. To anyone else...it would have been "roll your eyes in the back of your head" cheesy (the album was not a critical success). But I bet you, for all eternity...that song will take us back to that time when we were in all ways perfect, complete and completely overstimulated in every way delicious.
See if I'm breathing
Because I'm not sure
Tonight if I'm alive
Words are demeaning
They can't describe
Yeah, instead of bitchin about how it ended...I'll accept that, and celebrate how good it was...when it was. It feels better on my skin. If it happened once with someone...it can happen again with another, when it' s time.
