The Story

I had the most wonderful Valentine's Day this year. I got to spend it with my sweetheart (J) and that was all I wanted. He gave me the most wonderfully precious gift and I can only hope he understands how very very much I love it. I nearly cried just looking at the glass heart shaped box he gave the actual present in - something that was so quintessentially me that I was utterly taken aback by it's perfect-ness. And that's not even the present... I make no secret of my love of butterflies. My favorite quotation is "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly..." and is honestly the dictum I live my life by because oftentimes it feels like the world is ending for me and I received the most beautiful jeweled butterfly broach from him. I can't even begin to express how very much it means to me.

I'm not one for mushy sentimentality in a public forum, but here be the lyrics to today's song title.

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
