What would you think if I told you I met someone and felt an instant connection? Someone that I took out only two weeks after I first met her and couldn't take my eyes off of her. What if I told you I professed my love to her within a week? And that I planned to marry her shortly after that. What would you tell me? That it's too fast? That I need to plan it out. Slow it down. It's too soon. What if I told you that it was right and nothing you could say would make me change my mind? Would you call me foolish behind my back? Would you expect it to end as quickly as it began? You know, if I were in your shoes I would probably be thinking the same thing. But I'm not in your shoes. I'm in mine and I know what my heart wants no matter how quickly it happens.
Now what if I told you that you were too late to change my mind? My decision has been made and I know that I'm supposed to be with this woman until death do us part. And what if I told you that she makes me the happiest man alive? Would you tell me to be cautious? What if I told you that the relationship that started so quickly burned brightly for 26 years? Until death did us part. Still feel like it is a bad decision?
Do you recognize the name Roy C. Sullivan? It's not exactly a household name. Roy C. Sullivan was a man who was struck by lightning and survived. Surviving a lightning strike is pretty incredible. Surviving a lightning strike twice is almost unheard of. Surviving a lightning strike SEVEN times puts you in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Does being with someone new make all the old go away? Absolutely not. Will being with someone new make you no longer grieve your losses? Never gonna happen. Does being with someone new give you someone who will comfort you in your grief and help shoulder the load? I would certainly hope so. It would have to be someone very special though. So far I think she is. Could I be giving Mr. Sullivan a run for his money? I hope not seven times. But twice could happen. And if it does I pray that everyone understands.
Especially Wanda.
DO YOU MIND
One thing weighs heavy on my mind.
One thing grips at my heart
One thing I kneed to know
It's about a brand new start
Do you mind if I give my heart to someone new
Do you mind?
Do you mind if it beats for one who isn't you
Do you mind?
Do you mind if I try to love again
Do you mind?
Do you mind if I have a peace within
Do you mind?
I've met someone else
Someone to help me bear the pain
The pain of losing you forever
Someone helped me love again
Do you mind if I give my heart to someone new?
Do you mind?
Do you mind if it beats for one who isn't you?
Do you mind?
Do you mind if I try to love again?
Do you mind?
Do you mind if I have a peace within?
Do you mind?
To the one who helped me love again
Something I need for you to tell
As I rise above the pain
I ask one thing of you as well
Do you mind if my heart was held by one?
Do you mind?
Do you mind if I cry for that which has been done?
Do you mind?
Do you mind cause it's just too much to bear?
Do you mind?
Do you mind that I'm asking you to share?
Do you mind?
