The One Song

I heard Bob Marley's "Is This Love?" on the radio tonight.

For the first time in weeks, I broke down and cried like a baby as I drove.

It's the one song that she ever sang to me, and I'm sad not just because it reminds me of her, of us this past 10 months, but because I know... it wasn't love.

What they don't tell you about the "anger" phase is that, sometimes, you forget about the anger, and feel it all over again.

Is This Love
by Bob Marley

I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We’ll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed;
We’ll share the same room, yeah! - for jah provide the bread.
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I’m feelin’?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I’m feelin’?
I wanna know - wanna know - wanna know now!
I got to know - got to know - got to know now!

I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i - I’m willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
I wanna love you - I wanna love and treat - love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We’ll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads;
We’ll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! - of my single bed;
We’ll share the same room, yeah! - for jah provide the bread.

Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I’m feelin’?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I’m feelin’?
Wo-o-o-oah! oh yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!
Yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!

I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i - I’m willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
See: I wanna love ya, I wanna love and treat ya -
Love and treat ya right.
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We’ll be together, with a roof right over our heads!
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed;
We’ll share the same room, yeah! jah provide the bread.
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed - /fadeout/
