Did you ever notice that when certain people say your name, it sounds more beautiful?

It's almost as if they see past your exterior and appreciate the real you, no matter how broken you may be. Or notice how some songs seem to capture everything you are? It's comforting, yet frightening feeling that a stranger knows you better than those you call friend. Have you ever felt the kiss of the wind, or the tears of the rain? Do you dare let the Lord love you like that, completely enraptured by simplicity? Do you ever find yourself stuck and it seems as though the only way to live is through other people? Do you let them feel for you, love for you, worship for you? Did you ever notice the joy that can be found in simple things? Did you ever notice the warmth that can be found in a man's toothless grin, the contagious nature of a laugh, the innocence of the child sitting in front of you in church, the way a come from behind win can unite two people, how a crooner's voice can sweep you off of your feet, how you can still taste the love in a home-cooked meal even when it is cold, how one small question can spark the start of something big, or how a momentary glimpse of someone's heart can change your world forever? Have you ever felt yourself falling in love? I catch myself everyday as I look into the eyes of the 2-year-old I'm clutching in my arms in the photo on my desk. Do you know what it feels like to prevent yourself from falling in love? Have you ever felt someone push you away from loving them? No matter what you do, or how hard you try, they won't let you. Eventually, you have nothing left. Have you ever had something to say, but couldn't, or didn't? Did you ever notice how some signs of affection pale in comparison to a hug from your dad or a smile from your mom? Or notice how a pleasant surprise can be tainted by the circumstances meriting the surprise? Have you ever seen someone's presence light up a room? Have you ever felt too beautiful for words to describe? It's kind of like when certain people say your name.
