Love is...

"Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, 'If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?'

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

'cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving."


-The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script




I love this song, and I've only heard it about three times.  It's not just the lyrics, the singer, the band...that's not why I love this song.  It's the lyrics.


It's about love, it's about a man who is still in love with a woman in his life, it seems.  Maybe his ex-girlfriend.  Maybe a broken friendship.  Maybe his ex-wife...I don't know.  All I know is that the lyrics, at least to me, are beautiful.


I guess it's just an attractive song because love is so rare, true love anyways.  I'd like to think that the guy singing this song is truly in love with the girl he is singing about, but I don't know.  The lyrics just make it seem as if he is aching for love and happiness with a special someone.  It makes me want to love as deep as the oceans and as wide as the sky.  It makes me want to wait forever for the right one.  And it makes me hope that the one I'm with now is that person.


We all ache for love.


I've been thinking about love a lot lately.  And this song, it seems, wraps all the definitions up into one.  True love waits and it has hope.  It always looks for the best.  It goes for romantic love, family love, friendship love, and even the way Jesus loved.  Because love is love.  


So, have hope.  Look forward to the day after the next, but also enjoy the moment you're in.  Wait for the right person.  Wait and be patient with your friends and family.


You just have to be there, in the right place, when they come back around.  You can't leave. 


You can't ever move, or else they won't be able to find you.
