This song was on a CD of mine. The first time I heard it...I remembered thinking about how perfectly this fit how I felt about my relationship with Jeremy. How some days I want to shut everything else out...and remember what's good and true. So I took the time to write Jer something that told him just how much he meant to me. I pasted the lyrics along with my letter in a document. I printed it all out and left it for Jer on his car. I remember it feeling good to put it out there. And I found that old document on my desktop the other day.
A lot of people talk about marriage and how hard it is. How "just you wait" one day...you'll feel like vacationing seperately. And you'll spend a lot of your time angry with each other. 20 years will do that to you. Maybe I'm lucky...or maybe I just expect more from my marriage than that...and there is a chance that maybe I am just naive. But I hope in 20 years, lyrics like these are still finding their way into letters I leave for Jer on his windshield before he leaves for work.
Let it go – Gavin DeGraw
I can’t live without you
Set my goals around you
Takes a little extra time but it all works out
You’re a shining ember
I’ll be shining armor
Just look up into my eyes
I won’t let you down
And I’ll always be here
Yes I’ll always be here
Let it go
Settle into me
Let it go
Let it all go
Except for me
I’m the one you found
Just hold on
Hold onto me now
Why don’t we play hooky?
We can both get lucky
Better to get lucky than to go to work today
We don’t have to shower
You won’t wait in traffic
Take our daily panic and we’ll put it all away
And we’ll always be near
We’ll should always be near
Let it go
Settle into me
Let it go
Let it all go
Except for me
I’m the one you found
Just hold on
Hold on to me now
Don’t you know you’re the one for me?
After all, anyone can see

You know...I get so tired of the "You just wait" comments. And, I feel the same way...Maybe I expect more...Or maybe I am naive. But, I know one thing...It won't get that way if WE have anything to say about it. Because not only do I expect and want more than that. But, I'm willing to work for what we have now. My hope is that work will keep us from the "You just wait" period. I guess only time will tell...But, I'm with you!
Here's to us crazy naive people who think that our marriage should be fulfilling...even 20 years from now ;)
