Love Who You Love
Up at 30K feet, from Memphis to Orlando, listening to Rascal Flatts‘ new song, Love Who You Love, for about the sixth time.
However, this is the first time I’m actually listening to the words.
WOW!
What struck me is the story. It sounds like my story. It sounds like your story. It sounds like the story of most people’s lives.
Why?
Because I get so damned busy doing things, and keep promising I’ll get to the simple things. Like sitting so close, they can feel it.
Like stealing little moments. But becoming an actual habitual criminal, always stealing those little moments.
A note in a lunch box, or a purse. A voice message at work before she gets there. An extra visit to my son’s favorite store – The Lego Store at Downtown Disney.
Ya with me?
I can’t wait to get home, and hug them as hard as they’ll let me.
You know what, I actually could care less if you think this is too sappy or weak, or old fashioned.
If I don’t start changing a little, I’ll regret it a lot.
Thank you Rascal Flatts, for your song and it’s important reminder:
.
……… Love Who You Love ……………………..
I should have stolen every moment
Now there’s a page with not enough on it
Where you belong
I guess I never understand it
Why do we take it all for granted
Until it’s gone
Cause then it’s gone
Love who you love
With all that you have
And don’t waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they’ll let you
Give all you got like it’s your last day
Your heart and soul before it’s too late
And pull ’em in
Sit close enough that they can feel it
Live every single breath that you’re breathing
Breathe it in
Again and again
Love who you love
With all that you have
And don’t waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they’ll let you
Hold on…. Hold on….. Hold on…….

Love who you love and carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
