I trust you, Babe.

Have you ever heard a song that made you stop in your tracks because it spoke so directly to you? It took every facet of your life and simplified it into so many words, that you couldn't believe it? It happened to me today.

Sara Bareilles - The Light

In the morning it comes, heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain
Beating out of my chest, heart is holding on to you
From the moment I knew
From the moment I knew

You're the air in my breath filling up my love soaked lungs
Such a beautiful mess intertwined and overrun
Nothing better than this, No, and then the storm can come
You feel just like the sun
Just like the sun

And if you say it'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say it'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Never mind what I knew, nothing seems to matter now
Ooh, who I was without you, I can do without
No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down
But I'm here with you now
I'm with you now

And if you say it'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say it'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Let the world come rush in
Come down hard; come crush in
All I need is right here beside me
I'm not enough, I swear it
Take my love and wear it over your shoulders

And if you say it'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say it'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light

I listened to it over and over and over again. Letting the words wash over me. I've been in such a strange place lately. Having to continually fight for the relationship I have and define it to other people has caused me to constantly try to define it in my own mind. Will it last? Is it true? And sadly, it's made me question so much that I began to not remember what was so wonderful about us to begin with. Maybe these words were exactly what I needed, to start to release the pressure, to live in the moment. It's not easy, but I'm trying. "No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down, but I'm here with you now."
