Okay, I'll be honest, my best friend is my husband. I know, I know, gag right?! It's the truth though. He knows me better than anyone else, he is always there for me, I trust him, he makes me feel great about myself, he makes me laugh, and I love to be with him. I'm not going to go on about him anymore though, that's another journal entry. The best friend this entry is going to be about is someone I have known almost my entire life, someone I miss dearly everyday. While I could give a run down of our tumultuous history and current relationship (or lack there of due to many mile and a constantly changing time difference), I will just paste these song lyrics that have always made me think of him. Maybe a cop out, but it's my journal so...
"Snow Cherries From France"
Tori Amos
I knew a boy who would
Not share his bike
Oh but he let me go sailing
I swore that I
Could survive any storm
Oh then he let me go
"Can you launch rockets from here?"
Boy I've done it for years
Right over my head
And when I promised my hand
He promised me back
Snow Cherries from France
All that summer
We traveled the world
Never leaving his own back garden
Girls I didn't know
Just what it could be
Oh but he let me go sailing
You question me
"Can you ride anything?"
Lord do you mean like your mood swings
Invaders and Traders with
The best intentions
May convince you to go
"They look like pirates from here"
Boy I've been one for years
Just keeping my head
And when I promised my head
You promised me back
Snow Cherries from France
All that summer
We traveled the world
Never leaving his own back garden
Girls I didn't know
Just what it could be
Oh but he let me go sailing
And then one day he said
"Girl it's been nice,
Oh but I have to go sailing"
With cinnamon lips
That did not match his eyes
Oh then he let me go
