The Beginning of an Us

Gee where do I start. Hmm there is just so much to write about I guess I can't cover it all. Music can do many things. One of them was to coax us together :D I sent this to the author and singer of our favorite song by Jason Reeves.

They say that everyone has their own interpretation of a song. That there are personal meanings, emotions and connections one may not see. I don't know if this email will get to you, but I thought you should know. The song you wrote meant the world to two souls who found each other with a little help from your simple notes. This is my story, our story, about our someone somewhere.

Our paths had not encountered and yet our lives fallowed the same chapters. Two hearts were devastatingly broken by the actions of the ones we gave ourselves wholey to. Our supposed to be forever’s, our supposed to be I do’s, our supposed to be loves. The worlds we lived in came to a crumble, ending the journeys we had made. To us, hope had been lost, destroyed, a simple dream never to be found again. And through our pain and sorrow unbeknownst to us, fate had finally stepped in.

Our paths seemingly crossed at work. With similar trials and journeys a bond blossomed into a friendship. Through the storms and pain we stood one another up again. Taught the other what it meant to laugh, to move on, to hope. Hope… something that had been lost deep within our hearts.

Music fueled our friendship. A shared passion that turned the hours into seconds, seconds into instants, instants into memories. Each new song was a simple hint to the crossroad that fate had planned for us. This was your song.

An evening well into the hours was halted when the notes began to play. I clicked on the song, curious by the title. The first note played, then the second, then the third. Each note pulled at my heart and something deep inside began to soften. As I listened to the lyrics I began to realize that this hope, these dreams of love, this fantasy of forever was not that far away. The notes moved me in a way that I could not explain. All I wanted to do was share this with the one person I knew would understand. So I sent him the lyrics and the link during a conversation.

I waited…and waited…and waited. My heart was racing, my mind spinning with a million different outcomes. What if I was wrong, what if this was not right, what if I had made a mistake, what if I was about to get hurt all over again.

The words appeared on the screen and made time freeze. My breath drew in, my heart paused, only for a moment. I read it as if it were spoken in a dream...

“You are my Someone Somewhere”

We have been together ever since, madly in love. A love that I cannot explain or put into words. A love so pure and deep it can only be felt. My love, his love, our love.

If nothing else comes of this I would just like you to know that your song gave two broken hearts the courage to learn to love again. The notes melt my heart; no matter how many times the song plays. This is the gift you have given.

I would love to thank you in person because you will never truly know how grateful I am. For now this simple email will have to do.

So for everything, for your talent, your notes, your words and your hope of a someone somewhere; I say to you:

Thank you.

So here we go. These are the adventures and misadventures of Edith and Jed.
