At Last
this is for you, the Blower’s Daughter, Mi Morena. god, i haven’t felt this way for The Longest Time. I Remember when all i ever wanted was Somebody To Love and i spent my nights Lonelily writing Love Songs for No One and Dreaming With A Broken Heart. i felt Black, empty, and tired of convincing myself to simply hold on, that Someday You Will Be Loved when i wasn’t sure that the thing even existed. i hated every Lover I Don’t Have To Love, with their Short Skirt and Long Jacket, always Reveling Too Much. Honestly, You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away because there is something so hollowing about The Dull Flame Of Desire, where lovers come and go and Fat Bottom Girls just have to take their Clothes Off! because of the drink in their hand or just because “It’s Friday And I’m In Love”. “sure” they say, “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight”. no, it doesn’t make me feel like the Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side. it makes me feel like the Two-Headed Boy who talks with one mouth and kisses with the other. god knows i used to be a Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, but I Fell In Love With A Girl, too many girls, too many Almost Lovers, and it always ended with me Slow Dancing In A Burning Room. Admittedly, with any of them we were probably Too Young, i mean Let’s Face The Music And Dance, i’d just turn eighteen and she was Sixteen, Maybe Less. in any case, most of them were never Fighting For My Love. then again i was probably too interested in how The Dress Looks Nice On You, wanting someone to Just Kiss Me regardless whether they meant it or not. still, when Forever For Her Is Over For Me all you can really do is Dry Your Eyes and pray that you don’t Die Alone. you have to brush off your knees, hide your scars, and tell yourself that The Best Is Yet To Come, every night pleading “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want”. nonetheless, Time After Time, someone has to Fix You, someone has to Save Me from That Crazy Little Thing Called Love and the way it makes you fall from Such Great Heights. but with you Suddenly Everything Has Changed. The Way You Make Me Feel, it steals the breath from my lungs, puts the beat back in my chest, the world has lost it’s clamor and static and replaced it with A Perfect Sonnet. the light cannot help but Make War to twinkle your eye, the trees sing Your Song, the animals choir their Elephant Love Medley, darling The Stars Are My Chandelier. All Is Full Of Love and i’m so done with The Modern Man’s Hustle that has me kissing girls i don’t love and loving girls that can’t feel it back. god knows I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow so it’s no surprise that I Don’t Trust Myself With Loving You. not when i romanticize my pain like i do, the way I Go Blind, or just want to Come Sail Away from all the Landlocked Blues in my life. But now, regardless where i fall Asleep or what dark alleys i wake up in I’m Always Coming Back Home To You, to safe, open arms. i’m sorry about the scars. i’m sorry i’ve ever kissed other lips. i’m sorry about the numbers and the stench that stay in my sheets, the foul flavor of other girls. but trust me, I Only Have Eyes For You and they don’t wander down any other legs, in fact i Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You. If You’re Gone i can’t think of Anyone Else But You, and when you’re here my Green Eyes get lost in your brown. honey, I know A Good Man Is Hard To Find but you make me want to be a Betterman than i am, to Stand Out, to separate myself from any other hearts that may have fluttered when you entered the room. I’m Doing Everything For You, from my hair, to my clothes, to the door i hold open, to the holes in my heart i’m filling. I Want You and nothing else. The Very Thought Of You has me Head Over Feet, butterflies in my stomach, smiling from ear to ear, and it’s something i can’t survive without. god, I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You. if The Tide should rise and seek to tear us apart, please, grant me this Last Request, just Don’t Take The Girl. let her Stay, and if I can’t have that than I Will Follow You Into The Dark, because there is no way I’m Gonna Find Another You here or anywhere else. nothing compares and no one understands. this is The First Day Of My Life and nothing else matters like it once did. if the sun should break in the heat of our kiss than I’ll Stop The World And Melt With You. if what we are is too reckless or too crazy to be accepted than I will Love You Madly. if the sky should tear, if the rain should fall, if shadows should stretch and chill our bones i will Run To You for All You Need Is Love, and As Lovers Go we are The Greatest. in us There Is A Light That Never Goes Out so Come What May. we will rise above it all, Just Like Heaven.
