I wanna talk about Taylor Swift's song "Last Kiss" because everytime I listen to it, it makes me sad because it's a pretty accurate represenation of what I would do if Jeff and I were to ever break up. First, I want to look at the lyrics though:
I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go
Away
Oh Away?
I do recall now
The smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement
I ran off the plane
That July 9th
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms
But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
I do remember
The swing in your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did
Because I love your handshake
Meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day when I don't miss those rude interruptions
But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
So I'll watch you life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind
So I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is that
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last
Ok, so basically the first few lines were she says that he told her he loved her at 1:58am is similar to Jeff and I because it was about 2 or 3 in the morning when he told me he first loved me, and I would ask myself the same question...if you loved me why did you go away?
The line where Taylor says "the beat of your heart, it jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms" well, I listen to Jeffs heart ALL the time while I lay my head on his chest or rest my hand there, and his arms are forever around me, so I would still eb able to feel his heart and his arms around me.
The chorus hits a big nerve, because I WOULD sit on the floor in his shirt he gave me and I NEVER imagine us having a last kiss so if he did it would surpriuse me GREATLY. His name IS forever the name on my lips because I love him.
The second verse about him being the life of the party reminds me of his mothers wedding, he was full of life there and he pulled me into dance (and i cant dance lol) but I did for him because I love him. And the day he met my dad was very special because he is the one and only guy to ever meet my parents.
If we broke up, I'd stalk his facebook, watching his life go by in pictures and think back on everything we had, and I do watch him sleep...and I know he'd forget me eventually like I used to feel him breathe... we dont really have mutual friends but there are some poeple I have on my facebook that I would keep in contact with to see how hes doing if were not talking..
Basically I see this song as a very sad version of my life if the two of us were to break up...HOWEVER Jeff and I are totally in love, head over heels, and we're gonna end up married...so even though I listen to this as a represntation of a break up...i know its not gonna happen!
Till next time,
Nessie <3
