I know it's late now I know I ought to go Ride in your car now but please don't drop me home My head's so heavy, could this be all a dream? Promise me maybes and say things you don't mean
Rain fall from concrete colored skies No boy, don't speak now you just Drive, drive, drive Take me through make me feel alive, alive When I ride with you
Keep my heart turning on axles around you Keep our love burning just like it used to do Now just for us, they could play our favorite tune Let's not discuss all these things we can't undo
Let rain fall from concrete colored sky No boy, don't speak now you just Drive, drive, drive Speed me through make me feel alive, alive When I ride with you
Rain fall from concrete coloured skies No boy, don't speak now you just drive ------------------------------ Bic Runga - Drive
Whenever I hear this beautiful song it makes me think about how many of us guys here let our wives down when we failed to lead the relationship as they hoped/wished/dreamed we would. Mrs. Cinco hinted many times about how she wished I would "take care of things" such as the house and finances. She never said it but also to include "the fires" of our love and passion.
She wants me to "drive" our relationship. "Know" where it is headed and take her along with me for the "ride" of her life. Keep our love burning not by words but with actions... with feeling... her love can then flow because my love becomes a beacon for her to follow.
Love doesn't just happen - We make it happen. I know there were many nights in the past when I would just lie next to Mrs. Cinco and think, "Why aren't we making love right now? I want for us to be in each other's arms. Why doesn't she hold me?" The funny thing is that I could have taken her in my arms at any time. I could have made the love happen by giving her my love. I was waiting for something that needed to come from me... not the other way around.
It's a new year and a new me. Those of you that have followed my threads here can see the changes in me. I won't ever stop learning about how to open myself and give my gift of love... to my woman, to my friends and to the world.
I honestly never imagined the changes in my life that I am experiencing. I thought I had to change my wife to get the marriage that I wanted when it was me that needed to change all along. It feels good to be on this path that I am on now. It all seems so simple now but I could not see it with myself closed off from the world.
Here are links to all of my threads that I have posted here. The ever-growing list is so long that they won't all fit into my signature file any longer:
