There’s No Way via Alabama

It’s been a while since I heard this song but last night while iTunes was randomly selecting my musical enjoyments, it decided to play it.  Boy did I stop and have a rush of emotion come back to me all at once.  Some of you who know me will know where this comes from.  It’s not from anything of recent memory however.  You have to go back some 8 years to find the meaning of this song.  Three poems exist in that year that I wrote and then suddenly stopped writing.  I had better things on my mind; I was happy for the first time in my life.  Truly happy.  That happiness lasted for a year; exactly one year.  From beginning to end it all happend from January 2nd, 1998 to January 2nd, 1999.  That has by far been the best year of my life thus far.  I know I still have a lot of living to do as most people would say but I can always reminisce of the living I’ve already done as well.  The happiness I held for that brief time has been unmatched ever since.  I find myself, that fault that it is, comparing all that has been since to that one.  That simple one.

I’d love to say that I’ve moved on and that I’m over that one from so long ago but I can’t.  I’m lying if I say I can.

I need to do this more often; write that is.  It’s been a long time since I really concentrated on my happiness and my life.  It’s my time now.  I need to do this for me and only for me.  While I have no one else around to worry about making happy or satisfying, I need to learn again to make myself happy and satisfied.  I can only do so much and that so much has got to start out for myself.  It can’t be for anyone else right now.

As I lay by your side and hold you tonight,
I want you to understand,
This love that I feel is so right and so real,
And I realize how lucky I am.
And should you ever wonder if my love is true,
There’s something that I wanna make clear to you.

There’s no way I could make it without you,
There’s no way that I’d even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn’t last a day,
Oh baby, there’s no way.

It means so much to me, whenever I see,
That “wanting me look” in your eyes,
I don’t know how I could do without,
Holding you close every night.
I’ve waited so long just to have you to hold,
And now that I’ve got you, I’ll never let go.

There’s no way I could make it without you,
There’s no way that I’d even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn’t last a day,
Oh baby, there’s no way.

I never knew until you, what I was missing,
Now you say forever, and I find my heart is listening.
Yes I’m listening.

There’s no way I could make it without you,
There’s no way that I’d even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn’t last a day,
Oh baby, there’s no way.

Baby, there’s just no way.
