HERE I GO AGAIN

 

I FALL ALL OVER AGAIN

By Dan Hill

Can't believe we met like this

Is it just coincidence?

I had a feeling I'd be seeing you again

You're every bit as beautiful

As the last time we met

When you told me you were leaving

And going back to him

How I wish that I could tell you

It's all in the past

But I was never good at lying

And baby since you ask

Chorus

I don't wanna hear that song again

From the night we first met

I don't wanna hear you whispering

Things I'd rather forget

I don't wanna look into your eyes

'Cause you know what happens next

We'll be making love and then

I'll fall all over again

I can't begin to tell you

Just how, sorry I am

That the man you built your dreams around

Just broke your heart again

I think I know the feeling

'Cause I once loved you so much

That I swore I'd rather die

Then live a day without your touch

If I held you in my arms

You'll know I'll never let you go

But this ain't the time or place

To get emotional

Chorus

I don't wanna hear that song again

From the night we first met

I don't wanna hear you whispering

Things I'd rather forget

I don't wanna look into your eyes

'Cause you know what happens next

We'll be making love and then

I'll fall all over again

How you cried when you kissed me

Then you walked out that door, whoa

You were always such a mystery

I still dream we're making love

Then I stop myself because

Chorus

I don't wanna hear that song again

From the night we first met

I don't wanna hear you whispering

Things I'd rather forget

I don't wanna look into your eyes

'Cause you know what happens next

We'll be making love and then

I'll fall all over again

I'll fall all over again

 

I think the words of Dan Hill in the song above are finding expression in my life. Yeah, so I met someone recently and it has been the happiest few weeks of my life. She is the rarest combination of beauty and brain I have come across in a very long time, and boy she's got class and zazz!!! And you know how you are both scared and excited at the same time? Yeah that's how I feel about her. 

You are probably wondering why I have such mixed feelings right? I am tempted to wonder too, but I know the answer.

 I am sure you remember that I have had my share of broken relationships, most of which I was hugely invested, so I guess my anxiety is what you would call occupational hazards abi? It comes with the turf. A child who was told that a rope-like animal killed his father will be afraid of earthworms. In this case, I am the child.

 I am excited on another hand. As a matter of fact I am elated beyond words, and it is difficult to describe the feeling. This is not some high school butterfly feelings in my stomach, there is a sense of calmness and joy that thinking about her gives to me and the desire to protect her. Cut to the chase I am jealous and want her for keeps! Does that make any sense to you? Maybe not but it does to me. So...?

 I am still in awe of how her stories not only mirror mine but fits into my prayers of many years, and I am praying that my hopes are not eventually a mirage. I know the difference between love and lust as I have felt both, this feels like both wrapped in a lifetime commitment. And I love this feeling!!!

Her dreams and aspirations are worth every bit of my encouragement and I am hoping I get to do that for her; she is a jackpot! trust me when I tell you so.

 Well, I cannot tell you her name now but trust me, I am not walking away from this woman. I would give you a hint someday...... but for now, please allow me to hide her face. LOL!
