we belong together

you ever hear a song...and it hits you, thats EXACTLY how you are feeling at the moment...and you feel this burning in your chest, an overwhelming warmth, you close your eyes, and think, "yes, this is me..." you hear a verse that you feel almost like you wrote the song.....

Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself
Cause I didn't know you
Cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right here, cause baby
We belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better

I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Saying to me
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute
This is too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart

I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
It ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you in my life

then the next song comes on, and its a flood of emotions, it keeps happening, every verse hits you, every word reminds you of a direct feeling..
music is my medication, a way to heal my soul. if i'm feeling down, i listen to a song. i break it down, line by line. it helps me realize i'm not the only one feeling that way...and there's a light ahead. it validates my concerns, impressions, assumptions, and threats. i begin to memorize the words as my own. applying lyrics to a simple conversation. music is soothing, the chords, harmony, beat..like a human body, they all work together to make a single element.
