When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it. I sat down with my Taylor guitar and figured out the chords immediately. It spoke to me about my life so much. It took me back to the summer of 1974 that I spent falling in Love with my "first love". We parted ways a couple of years later in my Senior year of high school. I did not see her or speak to her for 35 years after that. Two years ago our lives came together again and we were married last summer. This song makes me think about that special summer, the void of 35 years and the awesome thing called fate. The beauty of Poetry / lyrics is often they relate to each of us in different ways and become special to us in our own unique way. Such a beautifully written song...
Your comment brought tears to my eyes. Not only did you bring out the hopeless romantic in me, but you made me hopeful. The love of my life, the one that touched my heart like no other, and from the moment we met neither couldn't explain any of what was going on, we just knew how we felt and it was that kind of love that I had forever wished, dreamed, hoped and prayed for my whole life - and one neither of us experienced or knew existed before then.

The first song given to me by him was Ray Lamontagne You Are The Best Thing. Today I come across this song for the first time and it reached down in to the depths of my heart and soul. I want to dedicate this to him, but I will let it be for now. I so badly would love to put those long and lonesome miles behind us, because that is what was hardest for us, the time apart.
I never doubted his love for me, and still feels he cares and perhaps has never loved like that again. It's my intuition talking. Forget the miles as when we were together it was the most inner peace and love we have both felt in our lives. Miles between replaced with time in each others arms, I feel and truly do believe it would have been magical, as what we had was just that. It will be a year apart at the end of April, and there isn't a day I don't miss him.
Even though I am still healing, I believe the last day traveling those miles between, was the day I left my heart behind. He doesn't want to be alone, and I believe that eventually he will listen to the lesson in love, and realize where his heart truly is. I know the lesson I've been taught, and through it all, I've been unconditional and have never stopped loving him. But I guess that's how it is when you experience a love so pure and true.
Thank you for your response. My heart is bursting right now. Congrats on your forever. The universe has sent so many signs, hearts every where unexpected in the sky between the sun, the moon, the clouds, rocks, even grease stains on the ground and the left over mark from the salt thrown on the snow. Taking a photo of what wasn't a heart while he was on my mind, honestly turned out to be the most perfect heart shaped moon, you'd think I messed with the photo.
Where there is one without the one she loves, none of it will not be forgotten, but cherished. They say memories fade, but as they fade I find them awaken again by a smell, sound, or perhaps in every time the idea of loves comes to mind. It's amazing what love can do. Thanks again.
