Angel

Do you have that one song that can make tears form in your eyes the moment it comes on? That one song that can bring you to your knees because of everything it invokes. For me that song is Angel by Sarah McLachlan. This song has so many mixed memories for me, so many emotions are brought out by it that I can't help but let the tears fall. Happiness, pain, warmth, loneliness, they all come to the surface at once, almost overwhelming me. The song has a special place in my heart to say the least, it's one that I will listen to for the rest of my life I'm sure. I'm reminded of past heartaches, present and past fears, present love, present happiness, all these things, all these memories. How is it possible for one to feel sad and happy at the same time? A song like this is not meant to make you happy or joyful, and yet when I apply my own interpretation to it I can't help but feel happy. I've been through that kind of pain and sorrow, the kind where you can't feel anymore and you're tempted to make just one little cut, just to make sure you can still feel. I never did, but the thought was there. But then I found my angel, and in his arms was where I was able to let go of all of it. I found love, and through it I found peace.
