.you make me feel like i am whole again.

i think one of the greatest love songs ever is love song (by the Cure, duh, even though there are some pretty sweet covers, including one by Anberlin). it's simple, but how it's put together is so beautiful i could cry every time i hear it. maybe it's because some of the lyrics have particular resonance for me, who knows, but every time it comes on i stop in my tracks.

whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like am home again
whenever
i'm alone with you
you make me feel like
i am whole again

whenever
i'm alone with you
you make me feel like
i am young again
whenever
i'm alone with you
you make me feel like
i am fun again

however far away
i will always love you
however long
i stay
i will always love you
whatever words
i say
i will always love you
i will always love you


whenever
i'm alone with you
you make me feel like
i am free again
whenever
i'm alone with you
you make me feel like
i am clean again

however far away
i will always love you
however long
i stay
i will always love you
whatever words
i say
i will always love you
i will always love you

sometimes it seems, no matter how complicated love is, or how complicated being in love is, how complicated a relationship is or feelings and emotions are, how complicated not understanding can be - saying "i love you" isn't complicated at all.

what it means could be complicated. but saying it isn't, once you finally realize that you actually mean it, and that you mean it more than you've ever meant it in your entire life.

you just know.
