It all comes down to love

Dear guy that keeps asking me if I wanna bang,
Yeah I wanna bang... your head against the wall.
Sincerely, I have standards.

What I meant to say was, sometimes I stare up at the sky and ask God to stop wasting my time and just kill me. But I figured you didn't want to hear that.

I don't flirt anymore. I notice other guys, sure, but I don't flirt with them. I don't feel the need or the desire to anymore. I have all the flirting I need with you. I love you, and that means I don't want to flirt with anyone else. So it hurts when I know you flirt with other girls. You love me, I know that. You wouldn't be here if you didn't. But I just don't understand your desire to flirt anymore.
*mine*

You have shoved your feelings aside for so long. I'm asking you to claim them.

Love has its limits. If love were enough, everything would be different.

If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses. Sink me in the river at dawn and send me away with the words of a love song.

A penny for my thoughts, no, I'll sell them for a dollar. They're worth so much more after I'm a goner. And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been saying. Funny, when you're dead how people start listening.

I've never been anything but tough. All my edges have always been rough.

Why can't I be that happily ever after person? Why can't I believe in that?

So you know what I mean when I say that I don't think anyone who falls in love has a choice? You're just pulled to that person like a true north, whether it's good for you or bound to break your heart.

I don't want to settle for 'good, not great'

This is what I was trying to say the other night...

Remind Me - Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood

We didn't care if people stared
We'd make out in a crowd somewhere
Somebody'd tell us to get a room
It's hard to believe that was me and you

Now we keep saying that we're okay
But I don't want to settle for 'good, not great'
I miss the way that it felt back then
I wanna feel that way again

Been so long that you'd forget
The way I used to kiss your neck
Remind me, remind me
So on fire, so in love
Way back when we couldn't get enough
Remind me, remind me

Remember the airport, dropping me off
We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop
I felt bad cause you missed your flight
But that meant we had one more night

Do you remember how it used to be?
We'd turn out the lights and we didn't just sleep
Remind me, baby remind me
Oh, so on fire, so in love
That look in your eyes that I miss so much
Remind me, baby remind me

I wanna feel that way
Yeah, I wanna hold you close
Oh, if you still love me
Don't just assume I know

Do you remember the way it felt?
You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves?
Remind me, yeah, remind me
All those things that you used to do
That made me fall in love with you
Remind me, oh baby, remind me

Yeah, you'd wake up in my old t-shirt
All those mornings I was late for work
Remind me, oh baby, remind me

Wouldn't have guessed

So the other day, I'm on my way to pick up my brother and I can't find a radio station that wasn't playing commercials almost constantly. I knew I had a country station on my presets, and figured that at least it wasn't commercials. As I tried to block out the banjos and other various "country" instruments, I realized that the lyrics to most country songs are really, really romantic. They're pretty cheesy at times, but romance is sometimes cheesy, right? Me not being a huge romantic myself (or as some people would tell you, I wouldn't know romance if it bit me on the ass) I was surprised that I even thought these things. So I listened to some more country today and sure enough, I was overwhelmed by how adorable and sweet some of these songs are. So here are the lyrics to one of the sweetest songs I've heard in a while.

Come Back Song - Darius Rucker

I woke up again this morning
And wouldn't you know it, pouring rain
I went and burned a pot of coffee
And like us, I poured it down the drain

Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my, "my bad, come back" song

I know I said I wouldn't miss you
But now I'm saying I'm a fool
You're on the feel-good side of leaving
And I'm the backside of a mule

Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my, "so sad, come back" song

And now I'm laying down without you
In this king size empty bed
And I wish I had my arms around you
But I'll just dream of you instead

Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my, "get packed, come back"

Hey, I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my, "my bad, come back" song

I know I said I wouldn't miss you
I said I wouldn't miss you girl
Come on now
This is my, "my bad, come back" song



So yeah. I think that sending lyrics or a song to someone is just as romantic as bringing them flowers. Just saying. :D

If you miss me, prove it

You know, there are some days when I really feel like this could work. Like you and I are finally going to get it right. Then there are days like today, when you make me want to tear my fucking hair out.

I wish it could be simple. Like a retro pop song, "I want you to want me," boom. End of story. We all live happily ever after. But it's never really like that, is it?

Right now, it's about to storm. It's been crazy humid for a couple days, and it's going to be intense. Prolly. And the only thing I can think is that I want to be out there when the downpour begins. I want you to be there with me. I want to ask you if you'd like to dance in the rain with me. I'd like to show you what letting go really is. What it feels like. I want to run out while it's pouring down rain and spin around in it. I want to get soaking wet and look back to see you smiling at me, calling me crazy and telling me that you hope I brought a change of underwear. But we won't be spinning in the rain tonight. Why? Because you're busy. You're tired. We have problems, real, big problems, and you're running.
*mine*

I looked hot today. You missed it.

Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.

I make mistakes. Big ones. But I rarely make them twice.

When I decided to be with you, I made a choice. And I keep making that choice every day.

You've hit your low, you've lost control

My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.

When I asked you to give me a reason to stay, you chickened out. And I get it. I get that. I do. It was sudden and I can be kind of intense and it was scary. But I thought...I thought that maybe after the chickening out part that...that you would come for me. But you didn't. You didn't come for me.

He looked at his best friend and said, "I'm scared." His friend looked up at the sky and said, "It's good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose." The man turned to see his wife behind him, knowing that she was struggling to keep their marriage alive. He asked her, "Are you scared?" She looked him in the eye and replied, "All the time."

You may have beautiful thoughts, but you hide them.

I think it's okay to pretend sometimes.

When you truly care for someone their mistakes never change our feelings because it's the mind that gets angry, but the heart still cares.

Love is only as complicated as we make it.

When I distance myself from you it's not because I don't care. It's because I care too much.

I don't want to be just another memory.

You're halfway in, but don't take too long cause I'm halfway gone.

Oh oh oh it's magic

Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything. But I'd go through hell for you. I haven't been this scared in a long time.

She was never happier than when she was lying in his arms,  her fingers linked with his.

Maybe I fell for your smile or the way you always say what you mean without ever actually saying what you mean. I don't know why or how, but I fell. So here it is, my confession to you... I'm insanely and unnaturally in love with you.

Good relationships don't just happen. They take time, patience, and two people who truly want to be together.
*We did it, babe :)

To love someone is a very special thing, but for that someone to love you back is more of a miracle. If you happen to stumble upon such a miracle, make sure you realize it. Never take it for granted, never throw it away, never let it sit, and most of all never let it die.

Find a guy who pretends he's not freezing after giving up his jacket, who knows to call you back when you hang up on him, who makes you a playlist and manages to get every single one of your favorite songs right. Wait for the boy who accepts your past and understands your fears, who lets you cry and who lets you see him cry, who says you're his world and makes sure you know it. The one who turns to his friends and says, "That's her."

If I asked you to just drop everything and run away with me, would you? If I showed up at your house, a bag packed, excitement all over my face, would you pack a bag too? If I chose to travel around the world and never settle down, would you come with me or would you stay?

I'm not gonna get down on one knee. I'm not gonna ask a question. I love you, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.

  

People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other's personalities. Who wouldn't? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that's not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner's faults and honestly say, 'I can work around that. I can make something out of it?' Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it's always going to be pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.

Long live the walls that we crashed through; I had the time of my life with you. 

Just a feeling that I have...

I watched you cry
Bathed in sunlight by the bathroom door
You said you wished you did not love me anymore
You left your flowers in the backseat of my car
The things we said and did have left permanent scars

Obsessed, depressed at the same time
I can't even walk in a straight line
I've been lying in the dark, no sunshine
No sunshine, no sunshine

She cries, "This is more than goodbye
When I look into your eyes you're not even there"
It's just a feeling, just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have
I can't believe that it's over

You've hit your low, you've lost control
You want me back
You may not believe me but I gave you all I have
Oh, just confess that you're still mine
I roll around in a bed full of tears
And I'm still lying in the dark, no sunshine
No sunshine, no sunshine

She cries, "This is more than goodbye
When I look into your eyes you're not even there"
It's just a feeling, just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have
No, I can't believe that it's over

So much to say
It's not the way she does her hair
It's the way she seems to stare right through my eyes
And in my darkest day when she refused to run away
From the love she tried so hard to save

It's just a feeling, just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have

It's just a feeling, just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have

I can't believe that it's over

I can't believe that it's over

I can't believe that it's over, yeah
