“You make me cry. You make me happy (happy).”

I am here again with back to back to back listens of “Bodyguard.” I want to be honest here so everything I thought when I listened will not be shared today. What I will say is that sometimes it is unimaginable glee, singing madly, possibly cracking atmosphere with my broken notes and other times, it is gut punches. I am grateful I have the happy times way more often than any other kind. It’s over 13 years and we still have growing pains. We are still learning lessons. We are still holding hands. We are still discovering each other. We are also disappointing each other. I want there to be a perfect love where everyday feels like the melody and the lyrics and the guitar riff at the end.

That is not our love. Sometimes we fail to be each other’s bodyguards.
