Song By
The Pretenders
Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
Oh I’ll stand by you
I'll stand by you
This song came on yesterday on my ipod while I was mowing my dads lawn. Sure it may not be the typical song a 33 year old guy would have on his music list, but I am not your typical guy. I am very sensitive and emotional, something that I use to try to hide because I was almost ashamed of. As I have grown older and matured I have learned to appreciate everything that I am, even the parts of me that maybe I wasn't very comfortable with before. Take a way any small part of me, the smallest part and I would know longer be Andrew Paul Allen someone who I am proud to say is me!
Anyways back to the song... Stacy had left to go to the Cape to visit a friend that morning and was going to be gone overnight. When the song came on, I began to get a little misty eyed. Now I am sure there were other emotions coming out in the tears, but the more I listened to the lyrics, the more I realized how lucky I was to have Stacy in my life.
Stacy is one of the strongest people I have ever met. She has been such an important positive influence in my life. I know I have put her through a lot yet she has always continued to stand by me. She has been especially strong in helping me with the loss of my brother Jon and the other every day struggles that I encounter. She has a double beauty that very few people in this world have. Her inner beauty matches her physical appearance making her the most beautiful site through my eyes. She takes interest in everything I do and supports me. Visiting me at work when she has time off. Coming to games that I coach and play in. Watching things on tv she wouldn't normally watch, especially the Tar Heels. Stacy is a giving person who will drop anything to help someone else out. She is a true gem that I have been so lucky to find.
I truly believe that Stacy Koscielniack was someone that I was suppose to meet in life, like it was gods plan all along. Maybe my mom had something to do with helping us meet and falling in love? All I can say is that I have never been happier in a relationship. Stacy completes my life in a way that noone else has ever been able to do. I cannot wait for the day when we get married and have kids. She has been so patient in our relationship and never given up on us which is just one of the few ways she proves how much she loves me. True love to me is when you can look into someones eyes and feel the love and passion between the two of you. I love her so much and I know no matter what life brings for either of us, individually or as a team we can make it through. Our love is so strong we don't just love each other... we live for each other.
