They don't love you like I love you

'Maps' cannot be our wedding song.

Why not?

It's too heavy.

What?! It's a love song. It's the greatest love song of the twenty first century. It's the love song that will define our generation's collective sense of romance, a hipster heart made of vintage t-shirt and organic coffee and ironic poetry readings of unironic poetry......

It's not danceable. Is it slow? Is it fast? The vocals are slow and the drums are fast, so what do we do? We can't just bob! We can't JUST BOB!!!!.............................

...can't we use the acoustic version?

That would be cheating. It's gotta be the original.

Fine. Then we go with MY choice: 'I Honestly Love You' by the right honorouable Sir Olivia Newton John

NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo....


Narrator: In the end, they did go with 'Maps'. And he was right, it was undanceable. They just ended up swaying. They looked kind of ridiculous. But they didn't notice. They didn't notice. Shadowed b the multitude of breaths stolen as they thought of that person...that person...to whom they clung, everything else was all a blur...


Yours,


I

The verb 'to fall' is appropriate...you feel like you're always falling and catching your breath.
