Just because....

Have you ever had one of those conversations or passing moments with an old love? What do you do when you talk to that person on the phone and this rush of emotion comes back and you wish you had an hour in a coffee shop with him/her to figure it all out? What do you do when you wish you could take back just a small piece of time in hopes that the outcome would be different between the two of you? What do you do when all you want to say is sorry but it won't come out? He is someone I will always care for, and someone I will always love. And today, by the sound of his voice, I missed him.

What do you do? Well, if you are Colleen, you remember the song that moved you through most of the heartache. Nikka Costa's Just Because..


I take you in and I hold my breath
Try to save the time that's passing by
And if you came to say goodbye
A thousand summers would never dry
Every tear that touched my face

And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do

I love
I love
I love you just because

Without the words to fall back on
I'm afraid it's hopeless to describe
And if I tried, I'd probably steer you wrong
Cause a thousand phrases would never say
How I feel today

And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do

I love
I love
I love you just because
