"The Shape of Us"

You're no longer alone.

We've found a space to name our own.

There aint no need to fret or fuss.

We've got all the strength we need in the shape of us.

And I know you've had it tough.

Your road's been bumpy and rough.

But say goodbye to a world that you once knew.

I have every faith in me and you.

Hold my hand.

Hold my heart.

Let go your fears.

Darling I will always be here.

I never felt quite so at home.

Your sweet caress is the best I've known.

Now that I've proved to you that I'm worthy of your trust.

Let us build a world in the shape of us.

Darling I will always be here.

"The Shape of Us" by Ian Britt.

 

 

I heard this song while watching TV and really liked the sound...so in true "Mandy Form" I grabbed my ipod and downloaded it.  It wasn't until the next day when I REALLY heard it.  It has now become our family theme song. 

  

Isn't it the way it is suppose to be....."We have all the strength we need....in the shape of us". 

A little story of me and Brian.  Brian is six years older than I am, we knew of each other long before we spoke.  We grew up in the same town, graduated from the same high school, and even went to the same college two hours away.  He was the baseball coach at the college when I was a Freshman and Sophomore.  That is when I fell in love.  I LOVE baseball (something passed down to me from my maternal-grandfather) so I would drag my roommates to the games.  And watching him in his uniform, coaching...I would jokingly tell my friends, "I am going to marry him".  They would roll their eyes, and we would go about our day.......seven years later, I did marry him. YIPPEEEE!!!

When you find your mate...it feels like home.  We could be thousands of miles away, but if I am with Brian, I am HOME.  I could be lost in a crowd and have no idea where I am, but as soon as my eyes lock with his, I am HOME. 

And when you are HOME with someone, you soon form a new shape.  It is no longer two separate forms that move.  It is ONE shape.  And that shape that is formed is as unique as a finger print.

 And now, we add a new little form into our shape...again...it changes shapes and adapts, but it doesn't pull apart.  And no one can take the place of any part of that shape.
