Pessimistic, much?:
Fun with song lyrics!
Etta James - "At Last"
At last / My love has come along
My lonely days are over / And life is like a song
At last / The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers / The night I looked at you
I found a dream / That I could speak to / A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill / To rest my cheek to / A thrill that I have never known
You smile, you smile / Oh, and then the spell is cast
And then after a little while reality sinks in and the initial glow fades away and we start seeing each other as we really are instead of the idealized visions that we had created in our minds and we start getting annoyed by each other's odd little habits and quirks and we start making fun of each other to our friends behind our backs and then we start complaining to our friends about all the shortcomings our partner had that we had never noticed before and we start bitching about how the other person has changed and isn't the same person we fell in love with but every once in a while one of us does something that reminds the other one of the beginning of the relationship when we were all starry-eyed and ass-over-tit in love and so we stay in the relationship even though the rest of the time we are miserable and before you know it 40 years have gone by and we are both looking back on our unfulfilled lives and thinking about how we wished we'd done things differently but now it's too late to start over and we're kind of used to each other anyway now that we don't really talk anymore and there's always a plentiful supply of vodka martinis (shaken not stirred) at the ready and even though we are both totally miserable and feel like we've wasted our lives we still look at each other sometimes and remember the very beginning when everything was warm and rosy and beautiful and we think
For you are mine at last.
