After losing my husband in 2018 I sort of figured I would be on my own…maybe not forever, but I didn’t feel the need to find someone else. But fate plays its own role and I met David. I was nervous to have such strong feelings for someone, I was falling in love. I didn’t want to rush into things and one day I told him how I felt. Then I heard this song…
Lyrics
There’s no need to complicate it
Dress it up or overstate it
Without too much hesitation
Here’s the way I feel
I like you, I like you
Even when I don’t try to
Yes, I do, that’s the truth
I like you
Seven years is a long, long while
Somehow you still make me smile
I’d say almost most the time
Here’s the way I feel
I like you, I just like you
Even when I don’t try to
Yes, I do, that’s the truth
I like you, hmm
There are way too many love songs
And I think they’ve got it all wrong
‘Cause life is not the mountain tops
It’s the walkin’ in between
And I like you walking next to me
Well I like you, I like you
Even when I don’t try to
Yes, I do, that’s the truth
I like you, yeah
Even when I don’t try to
I still like you

Music is a powerful connector. The song, Have you ever loved a woman, reminds me of sentiments he professed when we met. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq2KgzKETBw
