Train - Parachute

Love: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

I think the word Love gets thrown around too easily. And it is said more often these days without real, true meaning behind it. And as well as that, actions speak louder than words. You can say you love someone but you have to really mean it for to be more than just words.

What love means to me:

To be there for him through thick or thin. To not question what will I get out of this. But to do it because you only want the best for him.

Passion, that powerful, compelling emotion you feel when you are with him.

Trust, when you trust him with the safekeeping of your heart. And you don't worry about getting hurt.

When I heard the song Parachute by Train, my first thought was THAT is true love. Real love. To say you are willing to be someones parachute. That you will always be there for them. And never let them fall. Especially when life becomes a challenge. Which without a doubt it will at some point. To know that you have that one person there for you no matter what happens is an amazing feeling.

Rob,

I love you more than words can even express. You have been my parachute. And I am so thankful for that. You have been more to me than anyone ever has. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on. Thank you for seeing the good in me, when no one else can. I want to be your everything. I want to be your parachute. I will NEVER let you fall. You will ALWAYS have me no matter what is going on in your life. "True love blooms eternal, whatever life's obstacles."

These are the beautiful lyrics to Parachute by Train:

(The bold lines are the ones that mean the most to me.)

I wanna take you with me

To life with no more yesterdays

We can start again awake and so excited

and change the way we always push

I'll open up and be your parachute

And I'll never let you down

So open up and be my human angel

And we'll only hit the ground running

And when the world gets sharp and tries to cut you down to size

And makes you feel like giving in

Oh, I will stay, I will rain, I will wash the words and pain away

And I will chase away the way we push

The way we pull

You're beautiful

And if it feels like we might drop

It will stop so don't look down

It wouldn't be the same without you

This life is too good to give up on
