i'll be yours to keep

Thursday, May 24, 2012

after a good conversation with a very good friend, i have come to realize that love is a battle.  
i'm either fighting for someone, fighting against a myriad of emotions, or trying to prove my strength.
love isn't perfect, although it is often portrayed to be so.  
it can be combatted by anger, fear, and regret.  
at times, i wonder if it is a battle worth fighting. 
 love can be painful, so very painful.
but it's purpose is beautiful.  it brings joy and a happiness worth fighting for,
a feeling that can't be replaced by anyone or anything.
it's a fight we want to win but loss is inevitable.
i love love, it has me feeling wonderful emotions and it has made me think more than i ever have. 

love is falling apart only to realize what makes us whole. 

i think this song is beautiful and i'm obsessed with the lyrics.


Darling you're with me, always around me.
Only love, only love.
Darling I feel you, under my body.
Only love, only love.
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, come on love.
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.

And I'll be yours to keep.
A wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep.

"Give me shelter or show me heart, come on love, watch me fall apart."

  3. whoops. pressed send a little too early. left you hanging there with that also and nothing attached to it. alsoooo.... love is such a tricky thing in life. i feel it so strongly, it's both a blessing and curse of mine. i love love and love seeing people in love, but i must admit that lately it gets me down and i let myself throw a pity party about not having love of my own. but then i remember i'm only 22 and i have much to learn and live. love will come and when it does it will be fabulous. thanks for reminding me to be positive and patient, this post of yours came at the most perfect time.
