Love Story

Love Story-- Taylor Swift

we were both young when i first saw you
i close my eyes
and the flashback starts
im standing there
on a balcony of summer air

see the lights,
see the party the ball gowns
see you make your way through the crowd
you say hello
little did i know

that you were romeo you were throwing pebbles
and my daddy said stay away from juliet
and i was crying on the staircase
begging you please don’t go, and i said

romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i’ll be waiting all theres left to do is run
you’ll be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its a love story baby just say yes

so i sneak out to the garden to see you
we keep quiet because we’re dead if they knew
so close your eyes
lets keep this down for a little while
cause you were romeo i was a scarlet letter
and my daddy said stay away from juliet
but you were everything to me
i was begging you please don’t go and i said

romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i’ll be waiting all theres left to do is run
you be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its a love story baby just say yes

romeo save me, don’t try to tell me how to feel
this love is difficult, but its real
don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess
its a love story baby just say yes,

Oh, oh

I got tired of waiting
wondering if you were ever coming around
my faith in you was fading
when i met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

romeo save me i’ve been feeling so alone
i keep waiting for you but you never come
is this in my head, i don’t know what to think
he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

marry me juliet you’ll never have to be alone
i love you and thats all I really know
i talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
its a love story baby just say yes
oh, oh, yes
we were both young when i first saw you

I have come to think that kind of love only comes once in a life-time.

It only happened to me once anyway, and it was a long time ago. I still think of Leona with a sad heart. It was over 30 years ago, yet sometimes it feels like it was yesterday.heart

Ah, Kamerad ... it seems that you have not, perhaps, had enough lifetimes to know that the world is full of people to love ... None of them are Leona, but Leona is not any of them, either. You treasure her, and your memories of her, and so you ought ... but your heart is closed. Many kinds of love can come to you ... I am older than you, and even at my advanced age, I am surprised by love, the love I receive and the love I find in myself to give.

What is it they say? "Youth is wasted on the young." And so one might think, until one's heart is open to love. My daughter, who died just recently, had a very committed relationship with a very nice young man ... he is devastated, and I find it seems to fall to me to get him to open his eyes and his heart ... he is far too young to grow a shell; he needs to, as in the song, "Let the sunshine in".

Well, I cannot change his mind, of course, or yours; I can only suggest. This was planned before we came; what we make of it determines our future.

Mostly, I leave that particular wound alone.
