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
