The Days You Defend

I heard a song at the end of a Ted Lasso episode and it stuck with me so I downloaded it. I finally really listened to it on my run today and, ooof, it just hits the right now these days.

I know I've had you troubled,
And I know I've seared your mind.
But you know that I love you,
And that our loves not blind.

I'm sure my dreams lie with you,
But I've many more besides.
And if I can't see them through,
Our love will slowly die.

So if you doubt for the time that you're spending,
And if you doubt for the love in your heart.
Think of London and the girl you're returning,
And the days you defend will turn to gold.

So love with your eyes.
Love with your mind.
Love with your - dare I say forever.
Do it for yourself.
Do it for the girl.
Do it for your - dare I say forever.

Honestly, I don't know if I can write what I want about these lyrics and how it hits me right now. I just know that they are freeing to me and to my life so I want to share and save them here.

And look towards those golden days.
