Pain in my heart

Otis Redding has been one of my favourite singers for as long back as I can remember. When I was little on Saturday mornings my dad and I would always sing and dance in the living room as Otis sung in the background. The songs I always loved and made sure he played every time was Dreams to Remember and Pain In My Heart. Both songs talk of heart ache and pain and I don't think I fully understood them until recently. Did your ever imagine something happening a certain way. You get all excited just by the thought and hope the real thing turns out to be half as good and just that half measure would make you happy. I had a dream lately. I was all excited and fulled with anticipation, this time thinking that with even a quarter I would be more than content. Unfortunately, I was way off. Some dreams it really hurts to remember. I almost wish I didn't have those dreams because this situation wouldn't be as painful. The Pain in my heart is pretty constant. It hasn't let up in days. I'm pretty tired of feeling this way. It would be nice to not care but it seems I no longer have the option. I just wish that someone would Try a Little Tenderness.
