How do you keep the music playing?

Leave a reply

Patti Austin and James Ingram once asked in song: 

How do you keep the music playing?

How do you make it last?

How do you keep the song from fading Too fast?

How do you lose yourself to someone And never lose your way?

How do you not run out of new things To say?

And since you know we’re always changing How can it be the same?

I may have lost myself to you but in doing so I found my way. 

I’ll never run out of new things to say because your intelligence and beauty inspire me. 

I may always be changing but my love for you is as strong as the day we shared our very first kiss. 

After all this time we are still lovers, still best friends, and our love for each other grow stronger every day

Because of this I have no worries, no concerns that our music will ever end. 

I Walk The Path With You

It’s been a long road and along the way I have had many experiences that have shaped the very essence of who I am. But it wasn’t until you walked into my life that I could truly say for the first time I saw clearly what my life was meant for. Today I stand here with you ready to walk a new path in my life. As with any path there will be unknowns and obstacles ahead. But knowing you will be walking the path with me I have no fear, because I have no doubt our love build on trust and mutual respect will carry us through any obstacle we may face.

I promise you that you will always be:

My partner who I walk beside the rest of your life.
My best friend who I will not only listen to but hear
My soulmate who my heart will always beat in unison with.

I say to the world that when I:

Hold your hand.
Hear your voice,
See your smile,
Look into your eyes,

I know a love that I did not think was possible.

It is true that when we are apart I count the minutes until I see you again, until I can hold you in my arms again. Why? Because you and only you:
Bring me happiness
Have awaken my soul
Have given me strength
Are my partner
Are my best friend
Are my soul mate
Are my everything

I love you

I’m Not Him

Lately you’ve been distant.

I know something bothering you, but I can only guess because you won’t let me in.

Do you worry how I’ll react if you do?

Maybe it’s because you worried how he would react.

Do you feel you’ll be a burden to me if you do?

Maybe it’s because he made you feel that way.

Do you think I won’t listen if you do?

Maybe it’s because he never listened.

Do you think I just won’t care?

Maybe it’s because he never did.

Full disclosure, there will be times that I won’t fully understand what you are going through

But I’ll always try.

There will be times I won’t agree with you.

But I’ll never judge you.

There will be times l will offer you a shoulder to cry on.

But I’ll never take that to mean you’re weak.

You and I are partners. You’re my lover and my best friend.  No, I am not him, not today, not tomorrow, not on my worst day.

 

Best friends come in all shapes and sizes

imageIn life I’ve been blessed with family and friends who have always been there for me in good times and in bad. One of those friends is a little different from the rest. I’ve know him for 8 years he’s my roommate and one of my best buddies. He’s a big guy but not fat by any means he’s all muscle. He struts around in his brown fur coat all the time. Because of his size and his brown fur coat everyone calls Chewbacca, you know the giant brown wookie from Star Wars. One of the best things about Chewbacca or Chewy for short is that he has never judged me. Now he also has never offered me words of wisdom yet despite his silence I know he cares about me and that he will always be there for me. Chewy is an orange tabby,

All my life I thought of myself as a Dog person but 8 years ago I adopted Chewy and in those 8 years my life has gone through huge emotional swings. I’ve been the happiest I’ve ever been, the saddest I’ve ever been and all emotions in between. One thing however remained constant whenever I’ve had a tough day he always seems to know, he’ll pops up next to me and though he can’t talk it’s pretty clear what he’s saying. Hey Carl tough day? Want to talk about it? I mean I can’t answer you or offer you advise but as you know I’m a great listener. But before we begin as always full disclosure when we’re done here you’ve got to put pull it Together for a couple of minutes and fill my food and water dish. I mean those things not going to fill itself.

Animals are cool like that, they don’t judge and they’re always there for you. You should never under estimate how important they are in your life. Here’s to you Chewbacca my cool cat friend your dish is filled.
