So I got this song last June, and now I get it. Maybe it's not what was intended when this person gave this song to me, but I figured out why it gets to me like it does, finally. If this person gave this to me with the intent of feeling what I am feeling tonight, they're a genius. If not, they still is anyway

So what does the title of this mean? I'm about to post the lyrics to this song, hense the title of this entry, haha...

"By Your Side"

I'm outside your house
2am it's dark.
So many mistakes
come back home from bars.

I am on your side
I just want to tell you off.

So many lies
are taking hold.
It's not your fault
there's many scars.

I am on your side
it's taken me a long time
I am on your side
I'm on your side

And I'll listen
And I'll listen
Can you listen?
Now I'm listening.

I am on your side
it's taken me a long time.
I am on your side
I'm on your side.

I'm heading out tonight
I'm heading out tonight

Now I'm listening
and I'll listen.
Yeah I'm listening
Can you listen?

Like I've said before, I'm a very big fan of airy dream like songs. This one takes the cake. The first time I heard it, it grabbed a hold of me and has not let go since. I listen to it quite often. It's tied so closely to the person that sent it to me, that I can't think about anything else when it's playing. I try not to break things like this down like I usually do, but I can't help it.

I've had some issues with trust in the past with people. Not this person specifically because they didn't do anything to me, but because anytime I give a big part of myself away, the person usually runs away with it. Not this time. I truly feel like I've met the most caring and trustful person in the world.

I always wondered when this change would come about, and it just struck me tonight in the car ride home. It was like 10 tons off my shoulders to get beyond my own BS. I'm so excited I want to call this person, but I know they are asleep. I can't wait until the boundries of distance are lifted. I just can't. Five months almost seems too long, but then again it doesn't...

Because I'll never find anyone else like her.
