And sometimes body-slams us. While packing this past week, this song came up on my MP3 player and I was singing along...until I got to the chorus...at that point I collapsed against the wall, sobbing uncontrollably...
Unspoken Love by Kim Hill
I wonder how many husbands and wives
Cry themselves to sleep tonight
Wishing for the world that they could just reach out across the bed...
And hold each other the way they used to do
And whisper sleepy “I love yous”
Oh but most just turn out the light and let it go unsaid
How many sweet thoughts die on the tip of the tongue
Victims of unspoken love
Tell me How many lonely people there are
Left holding the pieces of a broken heart
Tokens of unspoken love
But she never even notices he’s gone
She’s lost in a novel somewhere off the southern coast of France
And in the morning she watches as he pulls away
He almost turns around, she almost shouts “Please stay home today!”
Oh, but neither takes the chance
How many sweet thoughts die on the tip of the tongue
Victims of unspoken love
Tell me How many lonely people there are
Left holding the pieces of a broken heart
Tokens of unspoken love

I have no idea what to say to this. It makes me so very sad in the heart and I am so sorry it hit you so unexpectedly and hard. CALL ME, sobbing or not, anytime you need to.
Thank you, Ms. Elbe. You have been an unwavering support in this and for that I am utterly grateful.

Oh my goodness - you are a blessing - I had a tape when I was a kid and on that tape was this song - unspoken love and another song by the same singer - whose name I didn't know until just now. I have been searching for years - I love both of the songs and have them memorized to this day but never knew who sang them until now. You my new friend - just solved a many year old mystery. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. By the way - I just checked out your blog and I am very interested. I think God lead me to you today.
