The lyrics really get to me, it's almost as if he was the one singing it, and I'm Kathy. (Though, I'm glad my name isn't Kathy, I never really liked that name all too much. But that's sort of besides the point.)
Well, I listened to it, and I got so overwhelmed that I felt like I had to write about it. That's what I always do. I let my emotional bucket overflow onto the keyboard and spill out sentences and paragraphs and pages of things I don't have enough room to contain. Not sure if anyone will read this, but if you do, please listen to the song if you haven't already.
Some people will likely hear it and be indifferent or depressed because they currently have no one and feel as if they never will. This may be true. They may never have someone like I have him. Alone. Maybe they want it that way, maybe not. But it happens.
And to know that it does tears me apart. Comparatively, I feel so undeserving of what I have, there are so many people out there who deserve love like this. Just to know that they might never ever find it, it kills me.
I think about other people a lot. What they do.
I think about all the people who are sitting alone in their apartment with a thawed out, microwaved Stouffer's lasagna sitting alone at a table meant to seat two. They'll eat half and save the leftovers for tomorrow.
Tomorrow, when they have to eat alone again. Tomorrow when they sit and watch Scrubs re-runs on their thrift store couch. Tomorrow when they check the answering machine to find no one has cared enough to call. Tomorrow when they cry alone in their bed wishing they had someone to hold on to.
Love should belong to everyone.
Why is the world so incredibly shallow? Why are people so misunderstood? Why are people eating alone?
I'll ask myself these questions as long as I live.
