Be Good Until Then

I have been listening to Butch Walker again a lot lately.  It just soothes me.  Then I started getting lots of signals from Paul like songs coming on the radio when I wanted to talk to him (and Styx always on around Iva and me).  I also got some phone calls all in a row from very close friends just when I needed them.  Then Stacy posted a Butch Walker experience and tagged me in it.  I think Paul is still around.  I hope he sees I am trying to be happy and enjoy the rest of my life since his was taken way too early.  I just listened to this song that always spoke to me since his death.  It was written from Butch to his son, but it is just a song that is very deep.  It's called "Be Good Until Then" ("and it's ok to cry when you feel it coming on.  It'll let you know you're human in the end...").  Just listen to it and reflect.  Another one that got me was "Maybe It's Just Me".  ("...and I can live without you if it makes you smile").  Gosh so many of his songs speak to me like "Promise" who your good Butch Walker friend just posted today ("...and I promise I will love you like nobody can").  I think in this life we all just want to love and be loved in return.  I had that and miss that but all will come in time.  At least I've had one great love.  More than most.  I am very lucky.
