Mood Music - Whats Song Represents How You feel right NOW Part Deux

For OpinionatedB.

It's been years, and years since I've known any peace at all. No matter where I was or what I was doing, I was stuck on a battlefield, in my mind at the very least, even when things weren't actually exploding around me. It had the net effect of making everywhere I went into a battlefield - I took it with me wherever I went, and consequently could find no peace at all, any where. I was constantly looking for - and expecting - danger at every turn. I was living on Red Alert, 24/7/365, and that gets tiresome. The battlefield was my unnatural habitat, almost home, but not quite - there ain't no peace there, wherever you find yourself under those circumstances. You just get used to it over time, get comfortable with it, and start thinking that's all there is, or ever will be.

I had given up, and had the intention of going off and living the rest of my days alone, out in the wilderness somewhere and away from people, somewhere I could find a reasonable facsimile of peace, knowing that even there I would never have peace, which was really the only thing I wanted. War always traveled with me, it was embedded in the deepest parts of me, preventing any peace for me at all. It's no wonder that so many vets go homeless by choice. I know what they are looking for.

You were my Valkyrie.

You came along, hauled me off that battlefield and into a place of peace, even in the middle of one of the most violent sections of this burgh. You replaced the eternal battles in my soul with peace, and that, like the former battlefield, goes with us, wherever we go.

You saved me.

You will NEVER understand how grateful I am to you for that. I love you more than you will ever know. Words cannot convey the depths of what I feel. Of course I will always remember what I remember, but having a memory is not the same as having to live in it every single moment, which I don't have to do any more.

Thank you!





Lyrics:

"Valkyrie" - Asia

Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....

Like a mist through the trees
I cross the battlefield
She is born upon the breeze
She comes to where I kneel
There is no doubt. She comes for me

Peace at last, fade to grey
My war is over now
This the price I gladly pay
Surrender to her light
It shines for love and dignity

Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....

See the path ahead of me
They say creed killed his throne
The one true house that I call home
The place I will be known
Where I belong. Carry me....

Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....

Now that it's all, over and done
We are as one. Now I see
One blazing fire, endless desire
Just stay with me, Valkyrie

Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....
Valkyrie....

Your right, I will never understand how much you love me. But I think your wrong, as it was you who saved me. Because of you, I'm not afraid anymore.

I see you as someone patient enough to put up with me, I'm an imperfect nobody who is as imperfect as it gets. Should you stay with me, I see it as some kind of a miracle.

Since we disagree as to what faults I may or may not have rather than reciting them, I will tell you that I see myself, and find myself lucky that you stayed past day one. I haven't a clue why you stay with someone like me.... but I do know one thing.

I love you. I love you more than life itself. I would give anything that I could for you, do anything within the limits of possibility for you - you are a good man. You are the perfect man for me, patient, loving, kind, sweet.... there are not enough words for all the many things I see in you and think you are, and none of them do you justice.

So all I can say, is I love you. It's not enough, but its all I can say.... I'm very happy you put up with me when there is so much better fish in the sea. Any woman would be lucky to have you, and I'm glad you chose me to spend your days with.





"I Love You Always Forever"

Feels like I'm standing in a timeless dream
Of light mists with pale amber rose
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Touching, discovering you

Those days of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless summer night air
Secret moments shared in the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stillness, soft spoken words
Say, say it again

I love you always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I love you always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you

You've got the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got me almost melting away
As we lay there under a blue sky with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness, a magical time
Say, say it again

I love you always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I love you always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you

Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, never whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything
Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, never whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything
Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, never whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything
Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, never whatever
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything

I love you always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I love you always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I love you always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I love you always forever
Near and far, closer together


Now we go home. Together.

To you my love.. I have always loved you and always will. I've been through hell to accept it and I have. One day we will meet again. This I know because I feel it everyday, in every way, & in every ounce of me that makes me, me. I love you.

I feel anti-social...lol

Ok, the anti-social feeling has degraded into just plain goofiness.....

a reply to: RUFFREADY

The measure of one's love shouldn't necessarily be about the worry, but rather the faith you have in them. To be able to say, "I believe in you, baby and I trust you'll come back to me," despite the storms we go through in life. If we are very lucky, we can weather those tempests and storms together and experience great power and awe and share the experience. Sometimes, the scariest moments of our lives remind us that we are alive
