Fix You - by Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
when you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

~ Uncanny timing he has, my Michael, whom I had a massive crush on in junior high, he disappeared in high school and then popped up again at the UCSB music library where I worked part-time. We've been friends and thensome and less-some over many years now, and over the last few years, he has had wonderful timing, calling me, showing up just when I need him to comfort me, say sweet things and make me feel better, save me from the whirl and twirl of my emotions. He did just that today again, time and again, just when I got home from a trek out to the East Bay just when I was going to hang it up and fall apart. He calls, he's here, wiping my tears, holding me, reassuring me that everything I'm feeling is ok, my guardian angel of "this little girl", me. Thank God for coincidences and small miracles, my great comforter.
