JOHNNY AND JUNE

After watching the CMA's the other night and what is now passing for country music,I spent the next day with Patsy Cline. I have nothing against Taylor Swift, but if she is singing "country music", then my butt is a typewriter.

Late last night, I popped, Walk The Line into the DVD player. I always get very emotional during the last 10 minutes or so of the movie. The way Johnny looks at June, the way she is everything he hopes for and all that he wants and needs.

As the credits roll, I am left with 2 things running around in my head. One is a wishful thought, the other, a question.

1-I want to be loved like that.

2-Will I ever be loved like that?

As far as relationships go, my track record pretty much sucks.

I am the one that does all the work,investing,giving up and compromising.

I am the one that does all the listening.

I put everyone first and myself last.

I make all the moves and go the extra mile.

I suck up my own pain,hurt and fears.

Always available to those I love.

It has been said by a friend, that I give too much, expecting nothing in return.

Isn't that the way love is supposed to be....?

Yet, I give and never receive.

I know who I am and what I have to offer.

It's time to put ME first.

Time to stop trying to prove that I am worthy of love and let someone prove to ME that THEY are worthy of my heart.

Johnny and June shared an amazing love. June passed away in May of 2003. Johnny died 4 months later. Even in death, he walked the line.
