Okay guys. I swear to the heavens. I have never related to a song so much. "All of Me" by John Legend...almost every word is exactly how I think, and feel. The only way I can explain it, is by writing what each lyric means to me.

All of Me by John Legend --[with my interpretation]
{Verse 1:}
What would I do without your smart mouth? --[I can't live without you, your remarks and all]
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out --[I'm drawn to you, but you don't want that type of relationship]
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down-- [You drive me crazy, and I can't make you see what I feel]
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride --[What is going on in your mind? What are you thinking? Because that's the mystery I'm trying to find out. It mystifies me]
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright --[Even though this is the first time I've fallen in love so deeply, and I can't have you, I'm still so happy we're close friends]
{Pre-Chorus:}
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine --[Even when I'm choked up in tears that I can't happy, it's okay, because you're still in my life]
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind --[Your perfectness drives me insane. You have to be crazy to not understand that we're perfect]
{Chorus:}
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you --[Every morsel of my heart loves everything about you]
Love your curves and all your edges-- [I've come to love you physically as well]
All your perfect imperfections-- [Your 'imperfections' I'm in love with too]
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you --[if you give yourself to me willingly, I would be yours]
You're my end and my beginning --[You're on my mind when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep]
Even when I lose I'm winning-- [Even if I can't have you, at least you're still here. I'm happy either way]
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh --[Not applicable, because I am at your disposal, but you don't love me the way I love you]
{Verse 2:}
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too --[You're amazing, and handsome in everything. You're perfect to me]
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood --[I will always be there for you]
You're my downfall, you're my muse-- [You make me sad, you make me calm..]
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues --[You play with my emotions, when you can make me happy, or make me feel lonely]
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you-- [Every time I sing on my own, it's always about you. Every song I hear, it's all about you...]
{Pre-Chorus:}
{Chorus:}
[Bridge:]
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard--
[We could try this together. We can love each other. I know you love me. Even if it's scary losing the friendship we have, would it hurt to try?.. It's scary for me too. We don't want to loose each other.]
{Chorus:}
<End>

Do you see? Every lyric, excluding one line... Has it's own meaning. And every time I think about it too deeply, it brings a tear to my eye. Because it just seems like I don't get to have my soulmate. Yeah, we're closer than any two friends can get... It just feels lonely. It's just not right. He's absolutely perfect for me. I can judge for myself. I can't judge for him.
We get along so well, and you can tell in his eyes, that he really does love me. Wether he knows it or not, I may not know. But he knows I love him madly. And I will do anything for him. Anything. I'm trying to save money to go music-store-shopping. All for him.
It's worth it to me...
He may not know it right now, but he's a savior of mine. If it weren't for him, I can almost bet, I wouldn't be as happy as I am today. Honestly, there might just would have been more scars on my body. He is one of three people that keep me strong.
I really don't think he gets it.
I don't think he really knows how much I really love him......
....
I guess as long as he's in my life, I have a reason to...
Keep Smiling.
