As my regular readers know, my husband is not very romantic. At least he’s not on the outside. I’m beginning to really suspect that down deep is very different. Not too long ago, he did an amazingly romantic, emotionally supportive act. He gave me a love song!
There seems to be a wide spread belief that all truckers love country music. Not so. In today’s world, truckers are as diverse as the rest of the population. And their tastes in music reflect that. My husband’s music of choice is heavy metal. He listens to bands that I had never heard of before so when he tried to tell me about a Metallica song he really liked, I was no help.
Regular readers also know that contact between both of our families is very limited. This has been more difficult for me this past year. My sweet husband has developed the habit of pulling me close and whispering in my ear, “It’s just you and me, baby, just you and me.”
He also started trying to tell me about this song….he may listen to music but he really has a hard time remembering much about it. He does remember how it made him feel so he kept trying to explain about “our song” as he called it. He told me that this song described perfectly how he felt about us.
He couldn’t even remember the song’s title so looking it up was difficult. But one day, I was looking up the lyrics to another song (for something I was writing) when he asked me if I could find Metallica for him. We did and presented with a long list of titles and videos, he found it. We watched the video (several times) and printed the words. He presented the printout to me with a shy little grin, (I swear he looked like a fourteen year old boy) and said, “It’s just you and me, baby, just you and me” and left for work.
Here is MY love song- I’m sharing it for all you out there who find yourselves in similar situations- it is called “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica.
“So close no matter how far, couldn’t be much more from the heart, forever trusting who we are and nothing else matters. Never opened myself up this way, life is ours, we live it our way, all these words I don’t just say and nothing else matters. Trust I seek and find in you, every day for us something new, open mind for a different view and nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say, never cared for games they play, never cared for what they do, never cared for what they know and I know……….nothing else matters.”
He’s a keeper!!! And nothing else matters! That’s the view from my side of the street, what’s yours?
