We Belong

Sometimes I see couples – sometimes strangers and sometimes acquaintances – and I wonder how they can be together. They seem too dissimilar, too this, too that but they don’t seem like they’d make a good couple. Especially with people I know, I think I tend to actually be thinking “I couldn’t be with him/her” because I am familiar with and can relate to one half of the couple and couldn’t see my place in his or her shoes. Often, I forget that others are not myself and this does skew my judgment, unfortunately.

Thinking this, makes me wonder if others look at me in the same light, if others wonder how Rian and I can be together, what we see in eachother, how we make eachother happy, why we chose to be married so on and so forth. I know this sounds like a negative thought, but it’s not.. It’s really more of a thing that makes you go “huh. Well, that’s something.”

The title actually, is the title of a Pat Benatar song which I’m listening to at the moment which, I believe, was co-written by Dave Nvarro. Neat, huh? It sums up the way I am currently feeling quite well and it’s also a great song. Quite a change from this, no doubt, and I think it’s a good thing. The last week and a half or so has been really great for us. I’m not sure why and Rian says not to question if but, if you know me, you know I have to because I want to harvest whatever it is that makes things go well and use it in the future.

Lyrics below:

We belong, we belong to the light
Many times I’ve tried to tell you
Many times I’ve cried alone
Always I’m surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone

Don’t want to leave you really
I’ve invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

Chorus:

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together

Maybe it’s a sign of weakness
When I don’t know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn’t know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit
Do we distort the facts
Now there’s no looking forward
Now there’s no turning back
When you say

(chorus)

Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can’t begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say

(chorus)

I’ve also just realized that my archives only work until the end of last year. Hmmph.
