Pizza and Palabras

tonight's activities centered around making eggplant/mushroom pizza (from-scratch crust, woot!) and watching joan of arcadia...the beginning of season two, whoops. once you start, you just HAVE to know what's going to happen next!!! because the characters are so sweet and sometimes just need hugs!! i won't say more, you should watch it.
anyway, afterwards, and a particularly touching scene that pretty much made me cry, here is a song. it started off as a response to joan, though, and then morphed into something about pride again...so it probably doesn't work at all, but i'm trying to convince myself that it does...because ultimately, it's about relationships deepening (another Joan theme)--and what happens when you start getting close to someone. coming up against fear and pride, of course, learning how to be honest...so...maybe it works:

I. You told me your secret. Now
You say you regret it. How?
Cause I--I can't forget it, and
I just want to hold you. Now...

II. There are things that I've not told you
Even now I'm afraid that you
Will discover I'm not what you need or want
And I'm living a lie but I don't trust what is true.

CH. Do you remember that day
When love was less about loving than play?
When we thought we were the only two
And I loved me and you loved you

III. You have a past and I've got my own
And everyone feels that they're all alone
And it's every man for his wounded self
But I long to be free to love someone else
but me.

IV. There are aspects of me you will never need
Like my anger, bitterness, pride, and greed
I'm broken and I may not ever mend
But I promise I'll love you until the end.

Ch. I've heard the poets all say
That love is a gift that will never decay
I pray, and I hope, and I know it's true
Cause you love me and I love you.
