-------------------------
Here I am. Sitting on my bed with me guitar beside me and my notebook on my lap. I was so out of it all, I was supposed to be writing music but all that I could think about was him. The one who had stolen my heart and taken over my mind. He was my next door neighbor, I knew him very well and he was a very good friend of mine but I could never get the gut to confront him about my feelings.
I don't know how to explain the feeling of love but let me tell you that it is one of the most amazing feelings that you will ever experience. Love is something that you never are able to understand, it's kind of like, You know that you adore someone, you dream about them, they steal your heart and take over your mind but you can't seem to understand why you love them so much.
I was in love with my neighbor. I had known him ever since I moved here and I've liked him since I was 11. There was only one problem, he now had a girlfriend. I'm usually the sweet, down to earth, honest girl but this was the first time that I had felt real jealousy. I felt so angry and annoyed, like there was a monster inside of me that was dying to get out but there was no way for it to escape. I felt terrible.
This girlfriend of his was miss popular. She was pretty, had nice clothes, dark brown hair, and everyone was jealous of her, but she was also mean. She had her own little posy of girls just like her, there was her, a blonde, a redhead and then there were the popular boys who my neighbor just happened to be one of.
I snapped out of my daydream and plunked myself right on my bed. I stared at the ceiling and continued dreaming of him, his eyes, his hair, his face. It felt as if I had melted as I continued thinking of him.
I was so lost in my dream that I eventually drifted off to sleep. I first dreamt a beautiful dream of me in a beautiful dress at some dance, then him dumping his girlfriend and slowly walking up to me as he pulled out a sign that said "I Love You", but my dream quickly turned into a nightmare. One minute I was at the dance with him, then the next minute I was sitting on my bed in my PJs crying on the phone was he broke up with me.
I woke up to find tears all over my face and all around me. I had actually started crying in my sleep. I turned over to my clock and it was only 4:30 am, There was no way that I would be able to fall back asleep so I pulled out a piece of paper and at the top I wrote "You Belong With Me"...
The moment after I wrote that title down I had so many ideas going though my head, maybe even too many ideas, I was so confused. I looked into his window and saw that he was awake too, at 4:30 a.m . He was on the phone and he looked angry, he was probably on the phone to his girlfriend, You wouldn't be able to understand how much I can't stand her.
I turned back over to my paper and wrote down the words
"You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do"
I closed my notebook and lied back down on my bed, I guess that was a good start? I'll write down more ideas as they come to me. I was lying on my bed staring at my wall trying not to think, not to think of anything. Not even him.
The moment I closed my eyes his face appeared in my head then his face got smaller and smaller until I couldn't see him any more. I yelled "No, don't go away!" and started crying, that's when I opened my eyes to find my parents standing beside me. "Are you okay!?" My mom asked. "Yeah, I just had a bit of a nightmare. I'll be fine."
They left my room and I climbed off of my bed and grabbed my notebook. I flipped to an empty page and wrote "I Love you." As I was staring at the piece of paper I began dreaming of him and I quickly drifted off to sleep.
Tuesday Morning...
I woke up to find myself lying down on the rug with my notebook beside me. I stretched my arms then rubbed my eyes. I stood up and walked over to my mirror where I brushed my hair then found myself starting at my reflection.
Why can't I be pretty like her? Why can't I tell him how I feel? Why do I feel so helpless? Does he like me? Why did he choose her over me? Am I really that ugly?
Those were the thoughts that were running though my head. I am not the kind of girl who is self concious but when I was thinking of him all I could do was wonder what was wrong with me.
I picked up my hair brush and started singing the part of my song that I had written over and over again.
"You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do"
That was when I got the idea for the chorus. I picked up my notebook and pen off of the floor and ran over to my bed. I opened my notebook to a blank page and wrote:
"If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me"
I closed my notebook and smiled. I really think that I have a good song coming along.
I turned to the clock and noticed that is was 9:20 and the bus comes at 9:30 . I grabbed my backpack and quickly ran downstairs and grabbed a snack bar then walked out the bench oustide my house where I would always wait for the bus.
There I was, sitting on the bench when he stepped out of his house and came walking towards me. Oh my god, oh my god, what do I say? what do I do? I was freaking out when I was interrupted by a comforting voice saying "Hi Taylor..."
