you do not need a covenant marriage or a big walkin' small stick carryin' snake of a man who lets you bake his apple pie with plenty of Bluebell on top while he watches another John Wayne marathon in a room with dead animals on the walls you need a big love a love you've seen on the silver screen plenty of times and never thought could be for you you need some of "Gone With the Wind" Rhett kissing Scarlett like he meant it even though he knew her for what she was shallow and selfish and in love with another man you need some "Say Anything" Lloyd Dobler outside your window blasting "In Your Eyes" with a broken yet resolute teenage heart you need the original "An Affair to Remember" with Kerr and Grant bantering on a boat vowing to get their lives in order so that they could be together in a year and you definitely need "She's So Lovely" messed up chick from Queens making good with John Travolta and three pretty daughters in the suburbs giving it all up for Sean Penn the second he was released from the psychiatric hospital in short you need a love big and bold and as beautiful as your still intact dreamy five year old heart a love as vast and impossible to comprehend as the desert sky exploding with stars you stopped wishing on a long time ago. |
