Long Live

I have had a lot on my mind recently that has made it so hard to write lately. So here goes.

This is a story that a friend of mine graciously let me share.

Awhile ago, my friend met this guy and they hit it off. The chemistry between them was undeniable. 

The fact about the whole thing is that it was complicated. They were both in relationships. She swore up and down that she was happy and content with where she was at and he told her that it wasn't gonna last very much longer. She felt for him but at the same she knew they were playing a dangerous game.

As time went on, they continued to get to know to each other and things seemed really content. She enjoyed his company and she liked to think that maybe he enjoyed his company too. She convinced herself that nothing was gonna happen. In reality, nothing was going to. This boy had so many plans with his life and she couldn't stop him. It wasn't her place. He was so determined and he lit up every time he talked about it and that itself made her happy. 

She wants to have hope and faith that one day things would work out. She realized that this was just another life lesson in her book full of them. He was someone that she knew from the moment they talked that he was going to really impact her life. It was just up to her whether it was a good or a bad way. After talking to her, she still tells me that they still talk and interact but she knows deep down that they still have a connection. A connection that is their own little world. It is genuine and uncomplicated while complicated all at a same time. Whenever she talks to me about this she talks with a smile and ends up saying whatever happens happens.

The both of us listened to Taylor Swift's "Long Live" and she laughed and smiled and thought of the boy who turned her life upside down for a moment but made her realize that in a world of craziness she could have her own little bubble. She is forever thankful for that. 

I personally love the quote from the song, "I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you"

Makes it feel everything and more.

I guess what I learned is that everyone comes into your life at a certain life for a reason. We may not be totally ready for them and heck they may not be totally be ready for us but it happens. They always teach us a lesson and it is a good one or a bad one but it is something that most of us won't forget.

I am forever thankful for everyone who has been in and out of my life and the lessons they have left. Also thankful to my friend who inspired this blog post and finally broke my writers block.
