I used to love this movie, still love Anne Hathaway, and this song seemed fitting 🙂 It’s actually pretty good after about the first 30 seconds.
It seems like everywhere I look, there is some happy couple holding hands, kissing, strolling through life together. My favorites are the elderly couples, holding hands. The woman has her silver hair tied up in a loose bun, and she wears a cream-colored dress with tiny flowers scattered all over and a light pink knit shawl. Her hands are small and wrinkled, they seem fragile. He is taller than her, wearing a gray casual suit. He looks down at her and smiles, and they continue walking down the sidewalk talking about the weather or some other wonderfully pointless topic.
Sometimes it’s good to just talk about nothing, if it’s somebody special to talk with.
I don’t really have anybody like that and recently I have felt like it won’t happen to me. I am 17 years and 1 week old and I have only had one relationship. And I am embarrassed to even admit to any of my friends that I ever agreed to be in said relationship, he was loud, obnoxious, not very attractive, but he was funny and he liked me and somehow I said yes when he asked me to be his girlfriend.
But that was two, almost three years ago, when it didn’t mean anything anyway.
And now it does mean something would mean something, if it did happen. But I don’t even have a crush. It seems like there’s not a single potential lover for me to even dream about anywhere near me. It’s pretty depressing actually. I guess it’s nice to be “free” and not feel like a desperate girl, yearning to be in a relationship with that hot guy that she knows she could never in a million years have when in reality all that she really has to do is gather the guts up to take that first step and ask him to lunch… But I still feel like the desperate girl hopelessly wandering alone through life looking for somebody to love.
I realize this is a bit dramatic, but I’m a teenage girl and I just want to be loved.
Is that too much to ask?
