Forever and Always

"Forever And Always"- Parachute

[Verse 1:]
She's sitting at the table, the hours get later
He was supposed to be here
She's sure he would have called
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway
No one's said they seen him
Why, is something wrong?
She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says somethings happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knees first
And he said

[Chorus:]

I, I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always

[Verse 2:]

She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls a maze that's never ending
They talk about what happened but she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room
She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life
The house on the hillside, where they would stay

[Chorus:]

Stay, there forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether rich or for poor or for better
We'll still love each other, forever and always

[Bridge:]

Then she gets and idea and calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple versus
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes, and she says

[Chorus:]

I, I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether happy or sad or whatever
We'll still love each other, forever and always
Forever and always, forever and always

She finishes the vows but his beeps are getting so low

His voice is almost too low
As he says, I love you forever, forever and always
Please just remember even if I'm not there
I'll always love you, forever and always 
 
This is the most beautiful song i have ever heard. It is about a woman who loses the one she loves because there was a terrible accident. Through these lyrics you are able to see the true genuine love each of these characters have for one another. The song, is so moving and special.

The reason why I chose to blog about this song is because I have always been sensitive to those who lose their soulmates due to an unfortunate circumstance such as cancer, accidents and what not. There have been so many movies made on this topic. Few to name: ps i love you, a walk to remember etc


It sometimes makes no sense how one can meet their soulmate and then suddenly, that person is just taken away. It makes you question the world and question what was the point. I honestly believe, in those situations, it is better to love and lose than not love at all. Imagine not having met that person at all, imagine not feeling complete. Yes it may be for a short while only but what matters is that you DID. What matters is that person (your soulmate) came into your life for a reason, not just to teach you to love but to teach you lessons of loss, lessons of life, lessons that life goes on.
When in those terrible times of grief and pain, one often forgets to look at life in perspective. They forget to remember that once this painful period is over, only good things will come their way. This is because, whatever happened made you stronger and made you more prepared to tackle whatever the world may throw at you. Perhaps even finding space in your heart to love again.

I think, if you are able to find that one person that you can sing forever and always to, that is something so special and lucky. Not many people will have the same opportunity. And if you haven't yet then keep searching! never give up. Remember that the world only gives you what you need and that certain circumstances will arise in order to to teach you specific lessons to life and to help you prepare for the many more opportunities that will come way.
