This song was one my fundamentalist friends and I would play and replay back in the day, our hearts crooning for the need for love, craving a sense of security that comes from that fullness of the Divine. As I listen now to the familiar lyrics and music, I sense a deeper meaning than once thought in the pews of the church. A realization that indeed these former romances are the guideposts that, however crushing at the time, brought me to that sense of security, love, and completion I sought after so desperately. That love I speak of is what I call the divine within, or rather, my self. It has come to my full understanding that I am my truest and most faithful love.
This is such a vital discovery and necessary in every aspect of my life. No longer will I expect or accept the abuse of those undeserving or the acceptable norms of the status quo. I'll go beyond and truly love me for all that I am deserving of, surrounding myself thus with those that have that equal appreciation for me as well as themselves. For we are our truest loves, finding this we find the answer to all the questions we seek, finally at last a peace and sense of life purpose.
We know we matter and have worth. That is something that "can't be taken away from us".
For this reason, after the crushing blow of rejection, the hard good-byes, and the fallen tears, I welcome my exes back into my life with open arms, grateful always for their purpose and influence in my life. For, truly I do not want that "taken away from me."
