Song ~ 04.25.05

Oldie but a goodie (still relatively new for me, however)…

Yet another song that makes me want to learn how to play guitar. And oddly enough, it actually fits my mood right now. Scott's played the guitar riff before and he played the CD in the car this afternoon. Just bought it on iTunes (got another free song!)

Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.

So I've completed Day 6 of a 10-day week. I'm tired, I'm annoyed, I'm frustrated, I'm hormonal and I'm missing Scott. Yes, we did just spend a lot of time together. But right now, there is nothing more important in my life than him and the boys. And I don't care what anyone thinks; priorities change. Balance is very important in my life. And for a long time, I was more career-driven. And I wasn't really that happy. Now I'm happier than ever and the reasons are all related to my personal life and where my priorities are.

But yeah. As for that whole missing my guy thing... I won't go into too much detail, but I think I've said before that he makes my heart glad. I know I'm the one responsible for my happiness. But there's something that happens when you commit yourself to someone, or something, mind, body and soul. And while that connection is constant, distance be damned, there is something awfully comforting about having that person there when you fall asleep and when you wake up.
