So in preparation for the kid's birthday party next week, my husband and I had to do some super cleaning. That's where it's not just livable clean, not just family is visiting clean, but where you make it strangers entering my house and liable to judge everything clean. This meant I needed music blasting in my ear while I belt out all of my favorite tunes.

This led me to a song that I pretty much never think about. I'm not a Katy Perry fan, but I was a Glee fan. While Glee is pretty good at making unlistable songs amazing, there is just one song from the entirety of their series that stops me in my track and takes me away from life. It gives me chills every. Single. Time. I hear it.



It takes me back to the first time I watched this episode and I was in tears because there is so much emotion in this song. There's so much love and so much pain and you can absolutely feel it. But not only that. This song. This version makes me think of my husband. It makes me think of how much I love him, how much he means to me. You really get to focus on each word of this song when Blaine sings it this way, and I can just picture everything with Devaughn. When the song is sung faster, I don't get the message. But this version.... you get to soak in the lyrics. Bathe in it. Have it hold you in a deep embrace. And all I can see is his face. How he gets me, so I let my walls come down. How he brought me to life-multiple times. How I do want to dance with him forever. How he absolutely, every day since I first spoke to him, makes me feel like I'm living a teenage dream. My heart does stop when he looks at me. God. This man is my everything.

It's so easy to get so caught up in life and the everyday. Some days, I don't even get to look at him. We're just running to the next part of the day. But when I hear this song, everything stops and all I see is my love and how he makes me feel. I just become this puddle of heart and emotion. I become completely raw. That's exactly what happens when I hear this song. It strips off my skin tight jeans ;) and leaves me naked. Like I feel like it strips off my skin, and muscles and everything and just leaves my heart and soul there. And on it, it says "For Devaughn Only".
