She rocks my world, everything about her makes me happy. Our age difference is a difficult obsticle because of our emotional maturities. She is about 3 years younger than me and im like her first steady boyfriend. She gave herself to me which i cant even begin to comprehend how deep i feel for her. The only problem that we have been having is very difficult to understand. I love being around her so much but she is still in high school while im going to college, so we dont get to see eachother everyday or sometimes once a week. Im beside myself with thoughts and what i could do to make her seek me out instead of me always going after her. I have alot of people around me that care alot so ive been told what im doing wrong and what i should do. im too clingy and thats a tough cookie to swallow.. Soo back to our songs.. Aqueous Transmission, and i miss you by Incubus. Ive listened to these songs hundreds of times and i know them by heart but just now i realized their genisis. The fact than im with this girl “is a gift that i couldnt think could be real” i blew her off the first time i met her because i thought her too imature. which was irronicly imature of me. after a month of me “fake hating her” i realized that i couldnt stop thinking about her even when i was with other girls. It took everything in my being to convince her to date me again but it happened and now im undoubtedly happier than ive been in a long time. One thing about us that really amazes me is the coincidenses that happen almost on a daily basis. I would be thinking of her and she would call me not even half a second in my thought. or how we planed months ago to go see incubus together with all our friends.. Tomorrow im going to see them and 3am after the concert shes leaving for 2 weeks on a vacation to florida. In the song Aqueous Transmission, i find myself lost in emotion which has never happend to me before with this song. Im going to miss her so much and this song just touches my heart, my essense, even soul. The last thing i ever want to do is push her away and i realized because of your article that this song defines whats going to happen and what im doing right now. This song, this artist, everything seems to be destined to happen. the stars are alighed so to say. Im worried that if i tell her how much this song meens to me that she might not like it. Shes not a very emotional person and im very emotional. What should i do, should i tell her about this song or should i just give a sudtle hint or just let her think what she wants about it? How do i go about making a bridge from me to this song to her? I know this comment was very long and random but im need some addvise from a third party. Any help with this would be awsome.

Incubus+listen+high emotions=Genisis

Went down to a central reservation
In last night’s red dress
And I can still smell you on my fingers
And taste you on my breath
I’m stepping through brilliant shades
Of the color you bring
This time, this time, this time
Is fine just as it is
(Yep, still makes my stomach lurch and my heart tighten – we shall overcome, though not quite yet!)

Maybe one day I will be able to stomach Beth Orton again. Her entire canon is inextricably linked to a boy, and I can’t bring myself to listen to a single song. I love how music has such definitive ties to events in our lives, even if it sucks sometimes. Books are the same for me. There are novels I dearly loved that I will never allow myself to read again for fear of dredging up whatever yuckiness I was mired in at the time of the initial reading.
