Cosmic Love

This morning I woke up in complete happiness. I was in the arms of a wonderful man who I immensely care about and in return cares about me. The view out of his bedroom window of the city, the moon and a few stars put me in absolute bliss.

It reminded me of one of my favorite songs called Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine. I found this interpretation of the song by someone on the internet and thought it's pretty much spot on. They wrote: "This song is about a woman who falls in, apparently, unrequited love with a man. She feels so consumed and overwhelmed by this emotion - blinded by the intensity of it - that she is literally in the dark; totally lost, confused, scared, cannot see the wood for the trees, and also in agony because she believes that he doesn't feel the same way. She decides she has to remove herself from his influence, yet in doing so she finds out that he is in fact in love with her too, so they lose themselves in each other."

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
-Florence and the Machine
