The problem with untold love stories is that they are often tragic ones. Strike that always tragic ones. You know the ones that don't work out. Sometime Pocahontas can't save John Smith or Beauty can't always get to the Beast before it's too late. Divorce, death, and feelings are all things that play into these stories. Stories full of hurt and pain. Stories that after one finally does find what is so right as far as love goes fade into the background and remind them of how lucky they are. That doesn't mean they never regret things that they said or did. It just simply means you have to focus on your future. Today's challenge though hit home with the Thirty Day Song challenge on facebook and it pulled me back to my untold love story. So, this is the song that I choose for day 5:

It's so hard. To look back on this but somehow this song challenge is making me realize just how important the past is. The past is the foundation that the present is built upon. I think today I have also realized that a love story doesn't have to be about someone that you are romantically involved with. It can be a friend, a child, a loved one. Love stories can even be written after that person is gone. I think that reading about Maddie and her family has taught me that. Taught me that my lost love story is not that tragic because at least it was a story. A story that I can harness and use for good. A story that shows that I not only lived my time on this earth but I touched others. As long as I can do that I think that there is hope for me yet. Redemption is not a word that I like to throw around but looking back every mistake I made had a redeeming quality. I might not have seen it then but now I understand. The redeeming quality was that I found my path. I have a future. And I have that past to thank to some degree.
So I think that I am going to blog every day about one of the songs that I choose.
