This town we once called Home.

(click to listen to what i was listening to while writing this blog)

If it's all that i know

it's that i do not know much

from the day i came into this world

until the day i will leave

this will all be

imaginary.

i don't know much

but what i do know

i do not know

and what i do not know

i only know partially.

life is so much more

than we could have thought of 

seen to

or heard from

when we find ourselves

we find truth

when we find others

we find love

when we find forever

we find hope

when we find light

we find happiness

from the end of the tunnel

comes the light from within

are we blind to what a blind man is blind to

or can we only hear what the deaf man hears

inside the wind

blowing softly across his cheek

whispering the secrets of a thousand years

to now.

though we fall
and sometimes we crawl
we are always moving forward
like the deer across the river
and the fish across the land
we are not where we belong
but we adapt

lover, hold out your hand
look at her in the eyes
and watch the sun dance
a brilliant array of sunlight across her cheeks
smell the fresh perfume from her breasts
and fall in love with the sound of her voice
she'll be your hand you forever hold
one day.

laugh when you feel sad
for sadness only lasts through the night
when daylight breaks in the morn
let you smile even more
for the old has washed away
the new day of a new beginning
is slowly coming to.

where you once walked
is now the place where men conquer
for money, wealth, and riches
earthly things that will not last
they continue to destroy that what was
never meant to be taken over.

let your heart be free
sing it the songs of your mother
the life that brought life
into your own.

lover.
love until you can love no more
let the beat of your heart guide you
to where you want to be
to where you can run free
to where you can undoubtedly sing
to where you can be
the song that you dream to be.
to be.

this town we once called home

the place where we learned to love

the place where we learned to walk

the place where we learned to talk

the place where we learned to learn

this town we once called home

will forever be.

as always,

sayitevan

Who I am, With you.

ok, so picture this. i'm 18, fresh out of high school and just finished a semester of college, and for some reason, i'm ready to leave. it was only two months earlier that i found out that i was moving to England for 5 months. i went to visit an old friend before headin out of the country. i was helping lead worship at his church, playing guitar, while he was singing. about halfway through the second song, this BEAUTIFUL blue eyed, blonde haired girl walks in, (late, might i add) and from the moment she walked in the door, i couldn't take my eyes off her. literally, i totally forgot the song i was playing and left jason there to hang to sing alone while i just sat there. and do you want to know the best part? she smiled at me :) that's what threw me off.

honestly, i wouldn't change a single moment with her

she's the air i breathe

and my best friend

so then we went over to his house and hung out. haha it makes me laugh to realize that we were both with other people at the time. well, i had just broken up with brielle and she was with some jerk named Steve at the time. at least, i think that's what his name is. idk. it could be chase or psycho boyfriend. either would suffice for the time being. we kept in touch while i was overseas for the most part. i came home, finished up my shindig with brielle and knew that there was more than what i could see at the time. there was just something about paige that i wanted. maybe it was her perfect smile, or the way she laughed at my corny jokes. but whatever it was, i knew i had to have her.

love isn't the feeling you get after a few months.

it's the continued passion over time

for the love of one another

a year, and 2 months, and some odd days later, i'm pretty sure i made the greatest decision of my life. marriage is something wayy far off in the future, but before you and everyone else who will read this blog, i, evan dial, will do whatever it takes to love Loren Paige Staton forever. it's funny how things change over time. you go through ups and downs in a relationship, and it's scary sometimes. there's been a couple of nights where we've been yelling at each other, and there's been COUNTLESS nights when we didn't want the moon to come up. but, and she's gonna kill me for sayin this, but her eyes just look so dang beautiful in the moonlight :) haha she's the most beautiful girl in the world, yall. there's not another girl in the this world that can even COMPARE to her! she is, in every way possible, the greatest example of our amazing God! she is His greatest work, by far. i love everything about her, from the tip of her toes to the top of her head. she's my best friend and someone i couldn't live without.

if i had a chance to change one thing about her...

...it would be her last name

as always,

sayitevan

and i'm more than happy

to say that you're all mine...
