#you're in love

[daisylightningson]

Btw

"you can see it with the lights out"

because "this love is glowing in the dark"

[yeesiine]

I asked my heart, why I can't sleep at night? Heart replied; "because you slept in the afternoon, don't act like you're in love.

Lyrics:

Open the door and come in

I'm so glad to see you my friend

Don't know how long it has been

Having those feelings again.

And now I see that you're so happy

And ooh, it just sets me free

And I'd like to see

Us as good of friends

As we used to be

Aah, my love, Aah

You're in love

That's the way

It should be

'Cause I want you to be happy

You're in love

And I know

That you're not in love with me

Ooh it's enough

For me to know

That you're in love

Now I'll let you go

'Cause I know

That you're in love

Sometimes it's hard to believe

That you're never coming back to me

I've had this dream that you'd always be by my side

Oh I could have died.

But now I see that you're so happy

And ooh, it just sets me free.

And I'd like to see

Us as good of friends

As we used to be

Aah, my love,

You're in love

That's the way

It should be

'Cause I want you to be happy

You're in love

And I know

That you're not in love with me

Ooh it's enough

For me to know

That you're in love

I can let you go

'Cause I know

That you're in love

Songwriter:

I tried to find you but you were so far away

I was praying that fate would bring you back to me

Someday, someday, someday... Ooh, you're in love

That's the way

It should be

'Cause I want you to be happy

You're in love

And I know

That you're not in love with me

Ooh it's enough

For me to know

That you're in love

Now I'll let you go

'Cause I know

That you're in love

No, no

No no

No, no

No, no, oooh

It's been a week and a half and I'm still getting emotional at how upbeat/hopeful 1989 (stolen) was, and how devastating the addition of even just Say Don't Go is:

"Why'd you whisper in the dark/Just to leave me in the night" feels like a direct reference to You're in Love's "one night, he wakes/a strange look on his face/pauses, then says/you're my best friend", which in retrospective is just heartwrenching

And then you have the whole kind of echo to How You Get the Girl, and may I say: ouch. As someone who writes alternate scenarios of how I wish things would go/would've gone just to get them out of my system, I appreciate the depth of HYGTG even more now because suddenly it no longer feels like just a catchy song that provides an excellent framework for what you want to hear when you've fallen for someone who doesn't know what they want, and how they should handle finally figuring it out; behind that kind of breezy song, a part of me kind of feels like it's a shot in the dark to possibly hear those words from the one you'd like to hear the words from.

This is without mentioning All You Had to Do Was Stay. There's something about the sense of pride in that song, staying away even when the person you wanted comes back, because of the hurt it caused you once. Being forced to leave yourself, because the other isn't staying, even if they might not be actively leaving.

Anyway, I might be reading too much into this because it resonates a lot right now but yes. I just feel like Say Don't Go adds an extra layer to 1989 tv which is just. Wow.

And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars

And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words

[we-are-lost-in-a-dream-now]

You can hear it in the silence.

You can feel it on the way home.

You can see it with the lights out.

You are in love.

True love.

there is a judge in Seattle who does the weekly name change hearings, and who says it's her favorite part of the week. she says she doesn't read out previous names, or ask about the reasons why people want to change them. she says it's a beautiful moment, and a celebration; a claiming of a new identity, or a reclamation of an old identity. she encourages the room to clap for folks. then she welcomes everyone up, one by one, by last name and with warmth; she shows them the court order where nobody else can see, asks them to double check the spelling, and then they're done! do they want a picture? do they want their friends and loved ones who came with them to be in it too? do they want the court order in the photo? she helps everyone pose, shakes hands and stands with them for as long as they need to take it, recruits the clerk for help taking photos of the folks who came alone. then she tells them where to go next, congratulates them, and claps along with the rest of the room.

probably three quarters of the people there were trans, and she centered their experience quietly, with love and joy.

I think I'll be thinking about her a lot this January, and for a long time after. it's good to know she's there.

what a wonderful thing to wake up to

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.

Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.
