ONE Love.

This song played at our wedding. Right after we were pronounced husband and wife. We were 19 and 20. It still makes me cry.

This is probably not a song usually played at weddings.* Marital kind of love can hurt like this at times...but this isn't the typical, gushy love song. I think this is a song about what it means to love friends/enemies/strangers/and others who are vastly different than us, even when it hurts.

I know my husband "gets" this kind of love...and he "gets" this kind of hurt. It's a large part of what makes us tic, so well, together. I really married the right guy that night. I could not have known back then how important love would become to me, because of him.



Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to 
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...life
