Hang with Me

"Hang With Me"
by Robyn

Will you tell me once again
How we're gonna be just friends?
If you're for real and not pretend
Then I guess you can hang with me

When my patience wearing thin
When I'm ready to give in
Will you pick me up again
Then I guess you can hang with me

And if you do me right
I'm gonna do right by you
And if you keep it tight
I'm gonna confide in you
I know what's on your mind
There will be time for that too
If you hang with me

Just don't fall
Recklessly, headlessly in love with me
Cause it's gonna be
All heartbreak
Blissfully painful and insanity
If we agree
Oh, you can hang with me

Love

Why is it so hard to accept one of the things that people crave the most?

For most of my life I have been told how bad I am as a person. People in my life have always been quick to point out my faults and very rarely my attributes. This has left me believing that I am unworthy of love and completely unable to accept it. 

Over the past few months I have been dating a truly incredible man. Although he isn't one for confessing emotion and in fact told me that he doesn't believe that love exists, he recently told me that he loved me and believed me when I told him that I love him. When we first started dating, he told me that I simply had to accept when he told me how beautiful I was and not argue with him on that. It is hard, but I try to believe him and accept the adoration. I have never felt this way about anyone and it is terrifying and exhilerating. He makes me feel like a princess and worthy of being loved. I don't know how to accept that I am indeed worthy of being loved.

I want nothing more than to be with him, make him happy, cherish and adore him the way that he does me, but if I am not able to receive and accept it how can I give it?  Wouldn't it be better to protect him than to not be able to give him what he deserves? I would rather die than hurt him.

A Case Of You
by Joni Mitchell

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said "Constantly in the darkness Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet oh
I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"

Oh but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
