When I See You Smile

Now I know I said Heart was cheesy, but Bad English? They're in a different league:

Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn't have a clue

Actually I do have a clue. In fact, I know just how I'd make it through this world without having my love, but now, I don't have to:

'Cause sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up, wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby
And everything's alright, everything's alright

When I see you smile, I can face the world
Oh, oh
You know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light
Oh, oh

I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me
Oh, yeah

I got to "see" him, for the first time in, I don't know, a long time, on FaceTime tonight. It was sooooooooooo good to see him, in so many ways:

Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew
Hay

Even if it's going to be a few more weeks before I get to actually feel the touch of his hand, and a few more months until he's really here with me now for good:

And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it
'Cause you're here with me now
And one look at you baby
Is all I'll ever need, all I'll ever need

Yep. So for now, it's enough that all these cheesy love songs, that were so sad for me for so long, are no longer sad. It was so confusing for a while there, because I had found my person, I knew in my heart and in my bones that I had, but then, impossibly he left. Had my heart, and my bones, been wrong? I knew that they weren't, but I didn't know how to reconcile what was happening with how I felt:

Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby
And everything's alright
Hay, everything's alright
It's alright

It's alright. Yeah it is...
