I want you between me and the feeling I get when I miss you
But everything here is telling me I should be fine
So why is it so, above as below,
That I'm missing you every time

I got used to you whispering things to me into the evening
We followed the sun and its colours and left this world
It seems to me that I'm definitely
Hearing the best that I've heard

So throw me a rope to hold me in place
Show me a clock for counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone

And whenever you go it's like holding my breath underwater
I have to admit that I kind of like it when I do
Oh but I've got to be unconditionally
Unafraid of my days without you

So throw me a rope to hold me in place
Show me a clock for counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Whenever I'm falling you're always behind me
Come back and find me
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone


KT Tunstall - Throw Me A Rope


This is such a bittersweet November song. I've got a hunch that this is going to be the best November I've had in a really many years.

Jerome and I do have our ups and downs but this is the first time I can boldly claim a relationship as ours instead of just mine. It's overwhelmingly perfect, that for the first time, I can truthfully answer friends "we're doing great!" when they ask about us (me and Jerome). I don't think I've been happy for this consecutively this long in the longest time I can remember. It's been approximately six months of being in love and love is beautiful when it's with Jerome. It's also the first time I have managed to embrace a partner's shortcomings and compromise with them, while correcting my own. No doubt this relationship has its difficulties and tremendously trying times, but every time obstacles come our way, we actually compromise in such subtle and improvise with baby steps. I can barely believe it myself, but these baby steps are helping us deal with our problems very amazingly. Best part is, we hardly planned any of this - fancying each other, courting each other, falling in love and unknowingly pathing a lifetime of years ahead of us. I can't get sick of finally being able to claim genuine joy from being in love. Sometimes it gets painful, being afraid of what's incoming for us, but more than often, I find myself realizing I'm really in for a good haul with Jerome this time. I don't think I have ever believed being happy in a long-term relationship. Sure, honeymoon is over but it's still really sweet.

So yes, I am thankful, I am hopeful, I am happy, and I am madly in love. (:
