I love music and the other day I pulled out an old CD that I had not listened to in years. On that CD was a song by Simply Red called "You've Got It".  Everyone that has truly been in love with that one special person has a song that says it all about that one person and that relationship.  It seems that when we find that special person there is nothing else in the world that can replace how that person makes us feel.  Sometimes we try to fight the feeling and sometimes we don't treat that special person the way we should because of fear of truly needing somone that much.

I have been playing this song over and over since I re-discovered the CD and it says it all about that one person I had in my life that was taken away way too early over 20 years ago. I can talk about it now without crying and can listen to songs like this and remember all that was good about this wonderful woman because "She had it all".

Happy Thanksgiving George! I love this song! When someone dies before their time they remain perfect forever... She would want you to be with someone who thinks of you when listening to this song.... You're in my heart, dear friend!

Songs do have meaning when it is associated with someone we care or cared about deeply. Those memories are with you always and though the pain diminished..the love is still there.

Hope you had a wonderful day George!

Joan - Thanks my friend.  Yes, I am feeling warm feelings for what once was and what we shared. Many will never have the opportunity to feel what I felt and be loved the way I was loved. I am truly a blessed man. I had a great day my friend and I hope yours was wonderful as well.

George - there are some things that time can temper, but not erase.  Your feelings for this woman were obviously very sincere and deep, and to experience that kind of loss ... well, it hurts for a long, long time.

That song is a fitting tribute and I'm sure she is watching over you every day and wishes only happiness and good things for you.

I hope you had a beautiful Thanksgiving, my friend.  And may tomorrow find you in sunshine and love.

Hi George..Nice Post, I lost my Best friend when I was 19...Certain events trigger our memories and we know where were we were when that event happened, in your case a song reminds you of your Friend and Love for her. It's nice that you can have pleasant thoughts about her when you hear this song....:O)

Cheers, thank you for sharing your personal story with us all.

It's amazing how a song, a smell, or something else can trigger a memory, and everything is so real and so now.  'Glad you're able to look back now without so much sadness.

Hi George , This is the first post I've read of yours so it's a different way to meet someone...it's fine, just different. The song is fluid and mellow, great mood music. I'm happy that your pain has become manageable and now you're blessed with a new grand-baby. Life is good ~ I'm pleased to meet you and look forward to reading more of your posts. BTW - the bar with icons, etc is missing from the comment box.

George,

How great that you had the opportunity in life to find a love so strong, not everyone is as fortunate!  Some people go through life never knowing that true bond. Being able to reminisce about the great times you shared, is a beautiful thing!  It's funny how songs can take us back to a special place in time!  Glad you found this song to bring back the good memories!

Marketing Naples  Oh my. I am a hopeless romantic so I believe all you say. I'm sorry you lost her. But at least you got to experience what many don't get to. And having her, you had it all, too. Wow. Thank you, George. I don't feel alone anymore.

Hugs
