Broody's Mix!

Until recently, I didn't understand something that I'd always wished I did. In the musical West Side Story, the main guy, Tony, sings a song, "Maria", and just explains how much he loves the name of the woman he loves.

"Maria, say it loud and there's music playing, say it soft and it's almost like praying."

Having said that, I will say this:
I've fallen for a guy all over again.

I used to know for sure that I loved him, but we never dated and when he started dating someone else, we grew apart and I ended up losing one of my best friends.

Recently, I was able to reconnect with him and I feel whole again. I'd grown to not notice the hole in my heart that was left empty when we stopped talking, but now that he's back in my life, I can't believe I ever survived without him in my life.

He's my conscience and my mentor and my confidante and though it wasn't always the same for him, now I feel like we are that for each other.

He's been going through a really tough time, and knowing me, rather than offering words or hugs though I've done that before, I found myself offering up songs to listen to; albums and songs I know he will like and will make him happy, I'll tell him to listen to and he actually does!

I can't tell you if they made him feel better like they do for me, but I like to think so.

Rather than lyrics to include on this post, I'm going to just put Broody's Mix on here... maybe it'll work for you, too!
