Somewhere Only We Know

In one of my graduate classes, someone said "there is a song for everything" which is how I feel most of the time. I comfort myself with music, singing and dance. I am not good at really any of those things but belting songs or blasting music or dancing out my feelings always makes me feel better. I was at work the other day and my boss who likes 80s and 90s music was playing "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. I was overcome by the sadness of this song, I had heard it before and listened to it, but I find that music only speaks to you when you are receptive. I like to have a large iTunes library for this reason, to have enough songs that will speak to me when I am ready to hear them. I have since then really had this song stuck in my head. I am not necessarily in the exact position of this song, which happens more than you would think.... (I am a lyric person if you couldn't guess, I like the tunes too but lyrics are where I LIVE). I just struck by the ability for this song to speak to almost a universal longing to have consistency and to have someone. 

I am not alone, I have been dating my boyfriend for 4.5ish years and we are doing wonderfully, because everyone who knows me doubts it I will reassure you too. We are not together all the time because we are doing long distance... but we are closer than we have been and see each other quite frequently (although thats never enough for either of us). I have spend a large portion of time thinking about us and now that I stopped thinking I know we are right. We make sense and fit and I love him more than I could possibly believe would happen. This song still pulls at my heart and this deeper feeling within me wanting to know that we will be together forever. I know that I would be with him forever and not think twice about it... the thing I am uncertain about it how life tends to get in the way while you are making other plans. I realize though that I have never trusted anyone as much as I do him nor have I let go around other people.
