I don't want to fall in love... but then again...
One of my all time favorite songs, Deana Carter, "Strawberry Wine":
He was working through college on my grandpas farm
I was thirsting for for knowledge and he had a car
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
When one restless summer we found love growing wild
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path
Funny how those memories they last
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot july moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
I still remember when thirty was old
My biggest fear was september when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste
Of strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot july moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
The fields have grown over now
Years since theyve seen a plow
Theres nothing time hasnt touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
Ive been missing so much
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot july moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
And this is where I got my entry title from. Lila McCann's "I Wanna Fall in Love."
Look at me now
Won't you listen to my heart
Cryin' out loud
I've been standing in the dark
I want someone to show me the way
I'm lost on a lonely road
There must be a light at the end of the tunnel
Before I go out of control
I wanna fall in love
I wanna feel that rush
Runnin' into my heart, shakin' up my soul
Feelin' like I've never felt before
I wanna fall in love
I wanna feel that touch
I've only dreamed about it, I've been livin' without it
And that ain't good enough
I wanna fall in love
Somewhere out there
Someone else is searchin' like me
And I know he must be hurtin'
Maybe tonight he's walkin' down
The same road I've been takin'
And we'll meet up without even talkin'
And he'll know what I'm sayin'
I wanna fall in love
I wanna feel that rush
Runnin' into my heart, shakin' up my soul
Feelin' like I've never felt before
I wanna fall in love
I wanna feel that touch
I've only dreamed about it, I've been livin' without it
And that ain't good enough
I wanna fall in love
Maybe tonight he's walkin' down
The same road I've been takin'
And we'll meet up without even talkin'
And he'll know what I'm sayin'
I wanna fall. . .
I wanna fall in love
I wanna feel that rush
Runnin' into my heart, shakin' up my soul
Feelin' like I've never felt before
I wanna fall in love
I wanna feel that touch
I've only dreamed about it, I've been livin' without it
And that ain't good enough
I wanna fall in love...
It's almost as if the music lyrics and music themselves can sum up how I feel. I don't want a boyfriend. I don't have time a boyfriend. I don't want to fall in love. I don't want commitment. I want to have fun. I want to dance. I want to flirt. With everyone. I want to be asked to prom (either Junior or Senior), even if it means turning someone down (which I've done twice)... and even though I am completely and utterly thrilled with the date I have (to Junior Prom, of course).
Like I said in my last entry, I'm just a girl. And girls just want to have fun.
Nothing and no one can stand in your way or keep you from sayin what your heart is dyin to say
(thank you again Deana Carter).
