Love Will Come Set Me Free
The inspiration for this post comes from this song:

“Think rational and hold still, when the light will come, it will shine on you. Days may seem dim and nights may seem darker, but her smile will make the days brighter.” Eric thought. All Eric needed is her hand in his hand to make this day breathe better. Simplicity no longer seems easy to Eric; the thoughts from the mind drive him close to the edge. People passing by him keep on walking without a glance. He is just a shadow in the crowd. However, they know where the source of sadness is. It is the one that sulks as he walks. It’s the one that drowns his own eyes in his own tears. Change is to come, but when? Thinking to himself, “Oh, love will come set me free. I do believe. Love will come set me free.”
The heart knows what it wants, but the mind begs to differ. The mind wanders in ten different directions to find justification in oneself. Oh, love will come set me free. Eric sings to himself over and over. He waits for the days where soft hands dry his tears and he no longer walks alone in a crowd where he is the unknown. Her smile sets the day’s mood with soft kisses to the cheek and a warm hand to hold on the walk home. Caught up in his thoughts, “Oh, love will come set me free. I do believe. Love will come set me free.”
Eric still waits for the day for that day to come. He looks intently out the window everyday, waiting for something amazing to happen. He just wants the truth of what there really is out there. Eric looks to the days when soberness of a happy life was clear and the stars were a wonder. Looking up to the sky now is another chore; gazing the sky for a shooter so that he may wish for a change. “What happened to the days where you were rewarded for your efforts?” Now, efforts are nothing unless he gets what he wants. Eric pleading, “Oh, love will come set me free. I do believe. Love will come set me free.”
Eric does not know why he feels bad about the things he says. Questions keep popping into his head like, “Why do I look to better days to come instead of looking to better days that have passed?” Oh please tell him that love will come set him free. He can’t explain why he lives this way. He is just living to find better days. With a defeated voice, he exclaims, “I still sit here in the dark for a day that love will come set me free. I do believe. Love will come set me free. “
