songs for lovers

tonight i realized we dont have a song. i am puzzled, baffled, bewildered. how is it possible that two avid music lovers don't have a song. I have songs, and HE has songs, but WE dont have any. Mushaboom by Feist was thrown out there as a possibility, but im not sure that it qualifies in the way that i am thinking. Firstly, my guess is that it should be more obvious than that to both parties involved. Where do lovers songs even come from? Is it a song that you slow-danced to together under stars? Is it one that was playing the first time you made love or said I love you? Is it a song that you discovered together? It it a song whose lyrics make both people think of the other and evoke emotions that have some bearing in the actual relationship? I realize now, that I have never had a "song" with someone else. There are many songs that bring back memories, some good, most painful. There are songs that inspire me romantically, and that conjure up my loved ones face while I listen. But for a song to be "ours", it needs to be reciprocal like every good relationship should be. And perhaps it is another one of those things that comes in time, with history and many shared experiences. But it is stupefying that a romantic heart like my own, that craves all gushy trappings of committed love, has never had a song with another human being. I guess that leaves something to look forward to... and for today, to blog about.
