"If I Didn't Love You" (Aldean/Underwood): Songs from Spirit

A Waking Message — Songs from Spirit

I woke up with the melody in my head. I recognized a couple of lines from the chorus but not much else, so I looked up the lyrics.

“If I Didn’t Love You” by Jason Aldean & Carrie Underwood.

Yesterday I was reminded that the relationship I'm letting go of ended with love. I felt gratitude and care, and underneath it, grief for the future I'd imagined.

The song to me is about the cost of loving someone and how it's expressed even after the relationship has ended.

Today's message: The grief is proportional to the love that was there. It's okay that I'm still grieving. It's expected.
