So, I’m listening to this song from my mom’s favorite singer, Lisa Stansfield—I may have taken my mom’s Lisa Stansfield CD with me to Rust, and she actually knew about it… hahaha! Anyway, Track #10 on Lisa Stansfield’s “Real Love” CD has the following lyrics:
“Real Love, where do you come from? Real Love, lead the way.”
As I was listening to that song, I automatically thought about my sweetie pie back in L.A., and I thought very hard about the words that Miss Stansfield was singing. It is a well-known fact that real love is tried and true. According to what I’ve read in I Corinthians 13:4, love is patient and kind; it is neither jealous nor boastful.
Okay, so in essence, Real Love comes from up above!
I understand that and I believe it wholeheartedly. I guess my true question is: How do I know if I’m really in love with Ray? I mean, I don’t hear any bell chimes or birds chirping when I see him. Granted, everytime I receive a letter from him, my heart skips a beat and I start blushing, but how do I know that it’s not a crush? I guess that’s why I’m scared to say those three words to him. Heck, for all I know, Ray could be feeling the same way about me. You know, it’s one thing to fall in love, and it’s a wonderful feeling to be in love, however, it’s a whole horse of another color when you actually love someone.
Let’s face it: I can say in great faith that I really do love my mom, my dad, my Auntie Cheryl, my Uncle Alex, my Gramma Jewel—hell, everyone in my family, and that includes my honorary sister Rebecca! I love my pastor and first lady, and I love my friends Ruby and Theo. However, when it comes to Ray… I mean, I like him and I want to get to know him better, but at the moment I think I’m just in love with him. I reckon Ray and I will have to talk about this when I come home for the summer.
Until then, I have to say like Lisa Stansfield: “Real Love, where do you come from? Real Love, lead the way.”
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
