Peace

What can I say? I find this man irresistible!

I'd heard this song before we left, back when I was thinking that this trip was going to involve a full scale reunion with my ex, and it seemed to fit:

I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna see that smile
Babe, we’re only here, oh, for a little while
I just wanna hold you till we fall asleep
I want love, I want us, I want you, I want me, I want peace

Like I said yesterday, that's just what made the most sense to me. Until it didn't. After his admission, he no longer seemed like the warm and safe place I am looking for:

Everybody needs a place
Somewhere that’s warm and safe
A shelter from this crazy world we’re in,
But tonight I let the rain inside
And took away your place to hide
I’m sorry that I made you cry again

Yep, he let the rain inside. Or that's how it felt to me. But by the end of the day today, I felt like I was going to have to physically harm him if I didn't get to be physical with him so I decided to swallow my pride and make an overture in that direction:

Oh, we can make this right,
Oh, kiss me good night

I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna see that smile
Babe, we’re only here, oh, for a little while
I just wanna hold you till we fall asleep
I want love, I want us, I want you, I want me, I want peace

Yeah, I want peace

Yeah, I did, and dang, I felt more peaceful lying next to him tonight than I had in a long, long time:

Oh, we don't have to fight
Oh, just kiss me all night

'Cause I want peace, yeah
