30 Days of Truth Challenge : Day 24

Day 24

Make a play list to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)

Ok, so I'm not one for knowing a lot about music, such as titles and artists. I like listening to music and I do know a few, but I don't know enough to make a play list like this without a lot of searching. And, even then I probably wouldn't be able to find the songs I'm thinking of or looking for.

But, I know one song that has great significance to both myself and someone very important to me...yup you guessed him, Jake. and, I decided to use our song...

{ "Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera }

It's kind of funny story of how this became our song. Months before Jake and I had even met, I heard this song on a TV show. They queue the, "I am the man that will fight for your honor," while this guy goes to "defend" his girlfriend's honor against the ex-boyfriend, who is much larger than him and spreading untrue rumors about the girl. I thought, that must be such an amazing feeling. To have someone care so much for you, that they would put them self in harms way just to protect your reputation and defend your honor. But, I couldn't find the song and everyone I asked didn't seem to know it either. Then, Jake and I started dating. We were over at his apartment, getting ready for some YSA activity and had a little extra time before we had to leave. He goes over to the stereo and puts a CD on. Then he walks back to me and starts dancing with me in the middle his living room. As the song plays, it gets to that line, "I am the man that will fight for your honor." I stopped and looked at him and ask, "How did you know about this song?" He looks at me like I'm nuts. He didn't know anything about my trying to find it or anything. No one had told him anything about it. It just happened to be the one he decided on playing at that moment. It was also the first song we danced to, so it became our song.

Whenever I hear it, I feel like they're singing about us. Jake has always made me feel like my happiness is the most important thing to him. That he would do anything for me. And, now that he has joined the Army, he is literally going to be fighting for me and my safety...as well as everyone else's ;). There's so many parts of this song that reminds me of Jake and I. It's like it was written about us, before there was even an "us".

Dear Jake,

I love you so much. I hope to grow old with you. To be able to be the one that can hold you up when everything is falling around us. I hope I can be everything you ever wanted and more. I hope that you always know how much I love you and care for you. I love you.

Love, Anna
