Life, Love and Billy Joel

For the last 2 months I've been obsessing over this song "The Longest Time" by New York's very own Billy Joel.

Why? (you might ask)...

Because I thought I was finally falling in love....

My story isn't anything new. 

Girl gets sick for 2 years, girl finds prescription meds to make her feel better, girl meets boy on social networking sight for people who are into tattoos, though girl distrusts internet people, boy wins girl over with geekiness, girl dates boy, girl finds out boy has Ex girlfriend and baggage, boy doesn't know what he wants, so girl lets boy go.

You know...the same old story...

But now that I've had time to get over him, I find this song still has meaning, just a slightly different meaning.

I need to fall In Love with Myself....

Not an easy thing to do when you've lived most of your life self-conscious about one thing or the other...but as Rupaul says "If you don't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an Amen!"

This song still says to me everything falling in love should be, and might be again, but for now it's all about me baby!!! AMEN!!!...lol

"Woa, oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

Woa, oh, oh

For the longest

If you said goodbye to me tonight

There would still be music left to write

What else could I do

I'm so inspired by you

That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone

Now I know that happiness goes on

That's where you found me

When you put your arms around me

I haven't been there for the longest time

Woa, oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

Woa, oh, oh

For the longest

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall

And the greatest miracle of all

Is how I need you

And how you needed me too

That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long

But you feel so right

And I could be wrong

Maybe I've been hoping too hard

But I've gone this far

And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on

Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone

I'll take my chances

I forgot how nice romance is

I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start

I said to myself

Hold on to your heart

Now I know the woman that you are

You're wonderful so far

And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings

I have been a fool for lesser things

I want you so bad

I think you ought to know that

I intend to hold you for the longest time

Woa, oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

Woa, oh,oh

For the longest time

Woa, oh, oh

For the longest time

Woa, oh, oh,

For the longest time

(Fade Out) "
