What Taylor Sang
You are blue
And hopeful for new
Remember what Taylor sang
When she said “Begin Again”*
Now you met him
Such a difference
From paying your penances
For all the ex’s annoyances
How wonderful is appreciation
Without qualification
Forget the last guy’s negativity
About your creativity
Now you know one who likes
All your quirks and your vibes
Gets all your laughs
Doesn’t ask for polygraphs
How were you so mismatched
With that guy from the past
All those years that went under
While you missed out on wonder
Chalk it up to bad judgement
And forget all those contests
Tried to prove you had love
To one who only knew shove
Enjoy this sweet time
You’ve found one who chimes
We learn from our pasts
It gives us a map
To chart new courses
And fight off bad forces
Point your sail to good waters
Collect the best now from others
*reference - “Begin Again” - song written and sung by Taylor Swift
