"You were meant for Me" - Jewel
Mother Nature was having one of her mood swings again today. Go figure, it's Mother's Day. Hot, cold, ups, downs... things just couldn't move in one straight line for once, could they? Sigh, I just hate it when someone isn't happy because of plans I made. I tried to let it go. Well, ok I'm lying, but it's hard when it's obvious to me. Things don't always happen the way I expect them to, but I wasn't really expecting much. I'm not much of a planner. All I wanted was an overall good Sunday with family. I guess it only takes one to change that. I hate to admit that I didn't help it either, but it's not in my nature to keep quiet.
I know my heart was in the right place, but I tend to say things out of line. I don't know how to censor myself when I'm upset. Who does? The funny thing is I didn't even know I switched gears because it was so subtle. I only got the hint from their reaction and then it was all downhill from there. I somehow find a way to highlight someone's faults and my comments unintentionally hit below the belt. It's one of my worst qualities and although I recognize it, I rarely apologize for it. It's a pedestal I like standing on even though I often get stepped on anyway. I'm right, they're right and it just doesn't work that way.
Regardless, what's done is done. Dinner was served and eaten in silence except for the occasional check-ins from the servers and waitress. The tab was paid and we made our way to the cars. We were driving on the 134E, passing the mountains that overlook the city of Eagle Rock when Jewel came on. The clouds were rolling in quickly and the gray haze was following us home. I welcomed it with open arms. It beats the sun out in my book any day. The music was low, but I could still make out the words. And then I thought of you.
Lyrics:
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs I got my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore cuz
Dreams last so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
Cuz it was happy or I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad cuz
Dreams last so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
I go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken, everyday.
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.
And then I take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight cuz
Dreams last so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
Yeah... You were meant for me and I was meant for you.
