R: Romance

Ah, to be in love for the first time again. This is the story of so many YA novels of late: first love…the first kiss. All that said, it is important for our youth to act responsibly when it comes to love, romance, and (yes) the s-word—sex.

Today’s song: Love Story by Taylor Swift

'cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me,

I was begging you, "Please don't go"

And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

And, in the event your heart has been broken, here is a song for that, too.
Grace is Gone by Dave Matthews

I could never love again so much as I love you


Where you end where I begin is like a river going through


Take my eyes take my heart I need them no more

If never again they fall upon the one I so adore

*For the record, I do not advocate underage drinking, so the lyrics can be used metaphorically
