Love Songs

I am in bed, my iPod is streaming quiet melodies in my ears. I do this sometimes to unwind from a hard day. Tonight is no different, except I was stuck with an overwhelming urge to write. So now here I am, unwinding in another sense.

I love music. I have a quote in my Journal that says:

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
-Berthold Auerbach

There are days that I just have to hear certain things to get me through the day, I have my favorites that I could listen to every day and others that I get a hankering for every once in a while. I love music, another quote that I've come across is Music is what feelings sound like. I loved that, because I have always felt that music can convey things that words alone can't always do.

A few minutes ago my iPod shuffled to a Jason Mraz song. As I listened to the words of this love song I was struck, more like punched by my abrupt realization of loneliness. I listen to these love songs and I just crave someone to love. I am overflowing with this love that I just want to give to someone. Its not the kind of love that I can give to my parents, siblings, children or friends. Its a special kind, that is just waiting, fermenting its self to greatness. But alas, there is no one to give this greatness to. I am going to continue to be patient and prayerful.

In Gods time, not mine.

So for now I will go on listening to all the love songs, adding favorites to my list, and waiting for my someone to sing them to, and share my love with.
