The Perfect Song


          When you think of the perfect song what do you hear? Do you hear strong emotion behind the beautiful lyrics being sung? Or do you feel the beat vibrating your body with force? When I think of my perfect song I think of our journey. I think of the things we have overcome. We'd start out our first verse with you in my sight. How in that moment, my everything had been taken over by you. You'd hear nothing but smooth rhythm and blues with that soulful sound in the background that you can just vibe from. You'd hear the sound of my heart beating slowly but strong enough to hear beyond the insides of my body. Our first words to one another. Everything was seamless. A girl eager to find her true love, and a guy looking to resemble his godparents relationship. There is nothing like young love. The passion is there. The fight is there. The love, it is all there. The song would mention the hardships we've faced and how we were able to fight unforgivingly against the negativity that tried to overcome what was our love. The voices and sounds we heard from a distance were no match for the sound of love we had circling around us. For us, our love stayed in a home of protection. Protection from the dangers of the world. Protection from the doubt and fear. And the butterflies. Oh the butterflies are always what get me going. If I were to hear the perfect song, there would be a part of nothing but emotion. The stomach tumbling feeling being belted out by a long strong firey and love filled breath. I can hear it. It's in there. As the song nears the end it becomes soft, and filled with inspiration. That the love was the best there ever was, and will continue to be. You are left with hope and tear filled eyes. Your heart has sunken in, and all you want left is a big warm embrace from your one and only love. That comforting warm feeling that only the one perfect song and the only perfect love could give you.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. What's our perfect song?

So close! We are so close to the end of the month. We've almost made it. I will finally have time off, and won't be as tired as I've been. Thank you love for sticking with me this month. I know it's been hard. With all of my sleepiness and staying on campus to get work done, even when we see each other, I feel like it lasts for just a few moments. There is also something super exciting about seeing our diplomas next to each other. For two, first-generation college students, we sure have done well for ourselves. Teamwork makes the dream work right?? I think so! It definitely helps to have a superstar on the team anyway. And by superstar, I mean Mr. Do-It-All-Himself-Colón. Thank you for being such a great teammate! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I still don't know why you don't complain about the accent mark!

Sometimes we see, read, or hear things that we try to get across. For me lately, I've been trying to get across what young love means, and the beauty of it. Today, I came across another blog, where someone worded it in simplest form. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you Anonymous, I couldn't have said it better myself. " The question is asked: “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?” And the answer is given: “Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. "It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled but still clasped; their faces are seamed but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired but still strong with love and devotion. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.” " With love always, Becca Colón P
