Never Knew Love Like This Before

Yesterday I accompanied my boyfriend to his therapy session. I feel like we could use some help navigating this path o' love we're walking, so I suggested we go together and he agreed. It was an interesting, and good feeling, to be there at a time when we still feel solid. I remember what my last experience with couples therapy felt like, and it wasn't pretty -- and I think my man has had similar experiences with his former spouse.

We did spend some time talking about the difficulties inherent in our situation, but I also expressed the gratitude I feel to be able to experience such an amazing love on an emotional, physical and spiritual level. Indeed, like this song that's been in my head ever since, says:

I never knew love like this before
Now I'm lonely never more
Since you came into my life
You are my lovelight, this I know
And I'll never let you go
You my all, you're part of me

I'm glad that I'd been to see someone that I look to for guidance, someone who is really good at hearing me, the night before the therapy session, because she helped me figure out something which which I'd been struggling mightily. And that was the idea that having found such an amazing love, I might have to put it down (when my man moves back East). Every fiber of my being fights that idea, and for good reason. She reassured me that I wouldn't ever have to "put it down" or stop being guided by love, even though I might have to or even choose to let go of this relationship if it doesn't wind up working out to do it long distance. But if that happens, that decision, too, can be guided by love -- I don't ever have to separate from that. I'm hoping that will help me calm down and enjoy the moments we have together while we have them:

'Cause I never knew love like this before, opened my eyes
'Cause I never knew love like this before, what a surprise
'Cause I never knew love like this before

This feeling's so deep inside of me
Such a tender fantasy
You're the one I'm living for
You are my sunlight and my rain
And time could never change
What we share forever more, ooh

...especially since I don't rightly know what time can and can't change. I know it can't change the power of love, but it can certainly change the circumstances surrounding two human beings...
