55.
artist:the cure
album:greatest hits
at the risk of sounding like Peyton Sawyer, i kind of really love the cure. now admittedly, i don't love them enough to own anything other than their greatest hits album currently, but that's not to say that i don't feel a certain kind of way whenever i hear the songs that i do now. for instance, "just like heaven" is arguably one of my favorite songs ever, and i really believe it to be one of the prettiest love songs ever written. is one of those songs that makes me really want to be in love. there are lots of love songs out there, but most of them don't have the power to make me wish that i was in love, at least not like "just like heaven" does.
and of course there is "lovesong." when i hear this song i picture the river court on One Tree Hill. Peyton painted the lyrics to this song on the court to let Lucas know how she felt about him when he was about to marry Lindsay or right after, i cant honestly remember, but it was a pretty touching "i love you" moment. (yes, i watch reruns of One Tree Hill daily. No, that does NOT make me a loser...i hope.)
how many of you have someone in your life or in your past that you could apply the lyrics
"However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you"
i know that i do. its a different kind of love than the love that "just like heaven" inspires, but its a real love and a true love nonetheless. there are people who we give our hearts to that just don't return the whole thing back. they leave and take a piece of you with them. its a piece that you will never get back, but sometimes its a piece that you don't mind having lost. in this particular situation, i struggled for a long time with the idea of him still having a piece of my heart, but i know that in the end, he meant enough to me during the time that i spent with him that its okay. i am over him, but will always still love him in some capacity. that's just the way it goes.
Robert Smith and the Cure make me feel like its okay to still harbor those feelings of being a 13 year old girl. the love, the insecurities, the feeling of being lost. i may not still be 13, but those ideals are something that we may never grow out of.
