And i mean hopeful because that's really what they are all about - the hope that someday they will meet "the one", that someday they will find the unconditional love that they see in movies, that someday they will experience everlasting love.
I don't know. I used to be one of them. What the heck - who am I trying to fool? Despite all the cynicism, deep inside, I still am. Blame it on Hollywood
The Nicholas sparks' inspired movie, "The Notebook", is one of my all-time favorites and most effective tear-jerker
There is actually a song version of the same story, and it is equally moving. Whenever I feel the hope slipping away, I listen to this and I feel renewed...
WALKING HER HOME
Mark Schulz
Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you'll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground
(Chorus)
He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home
Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night
(Chorus)
He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side
A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
When they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side
Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home
Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
