Dawn's Digression.

I listened to this song no less than 10 times on Tuesday. I listened to it on auto-repeat. It's really purdy.

My Immortal
by Evanescence

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

I have a question for you.

Think back to the time(s) in the past when you fell in love. Do you know the exact second you knew you were in love, or did it just sneak up on you? Mich and I were discussing this Tuesday night. I remember the exact moment I knew I was in love. It was in the backseat of the car on the way to Arby's. I was 15 years old. She laid her head on my shoulder, I laid my head on hers, and a wave of calmness and rightness fell over me. I felt at home.

You don't have to be descriptive. I just wondered what it was like for others.
