happy to get you

Twelve years ago, or so, shane was in a band that was moderately successful. They had a cd that was played on college radio, charting nationally, and a video played on MuchMusic. At the time i was recovering from going crazy after i graduated from university and shane took me under his wing and protected me and licked my wounds. He made me better. He made life worth living and asked me to marry him. I am eternally grateful and in love with him. It wasn't easy for him, loving me.

But he did. And i loved him too. A lot.

So, back then i always wanted him to write a song for me. I wanted to hear in words how he adored me. He was never able to do it.

This holiday has been a little bumpy for us. That's okay though. Bumps are good. He didn't give me a gift for christmas. We agreed on that, but i still held out a little niggle of hope that he would.

Today, he gave me a gift. The greatest thing anyone has ever given me actually. This morning on my iPod i found three songs that he wrote and recorded on GarageBand. One, "happy to get you", he wrote for me.

The holiday has turned. What a wonderful way to end the year.
