Before you grow up you must fall in love 3 times. Once you must fall in love with your best friend. This will likely ruin the friendship forever, but will teach you who your true friends are and grant you an understanding of that fine line between friendship and more. Once you must fall in love with someone you believe to be perfect so that you may learn no one is perfect and that no one should ever treat you as any less than you deserve. And once you must fall in love with someone exactly like you. This will teach you about who you are and who you want to be. Above all, through each of these loves you will learn that love is only a concept that can not be defined. Always love anyway.
Sing it Ron Pope…
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I’m holding you closer than most,
‘Cause you are my heaven.
I don’t wanna waste the weekend,
If you don’t love me, pretend
A few more hours, then it’s time to go.
And as my train rolls down the East coast,
I wonder how you keep warm.
It’s too late to cry, too broken to move on.
Still I can’t let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Don’t see what you don’t need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I’m holding you closer than most,
‘Cause you are my heaven.
Misplaced trust and old friends,
Never counting the regrets,
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
and New England as the leaves change;
The last excuse that I’ll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
Still I can’t let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep,
Don’t see what you don’t need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It’s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I’m holding you closer than most,
‘Cause you are my heaven.
Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.
