Selene: My daughter's getting married! This is so exciting!
Michael: It's kind of crazy. But it's a wonderful thing.
Me: I know, right.
Just after we got home, Eve reached out for me. I took her from Mom carefully. "You and Dad can do whatever for a while. Nick and I will watch Eve. We don't mind."
"Ok, Hunny. Just put her bed when you're done with her." She replied.
"I will." I said and we went to my room.
Eve giggled when I sat on the floor. "Looks like she's not gonna be tired anytime soon." Nick said.
I smiled and helped her to stand in front of me. "Wanna dance?" I asked her.
She laughed and clapped happily. Nick turned on my stereo and played Taylor Swift the Red album. State of Grace came on and I started to dance with Eve. After the song was over, Eve wanted to sit on the bed and watch me sing and dance with Nick. Red started to play and I sang.
"Loving him was like driving a new maserati down a dead end street. Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly. Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall. Like the colors in autumn so bright, just before they lose it all.
Losing him was blue like I'd never known. Missing him was dark gray all as alone. Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met. But loving him was red. Loving him was red.
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you. Memorizing him is as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song. Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer. Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong.
Losing him was blue like I'd never known. Missing him was dark gray all alone. Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met. But loving him was red. Oh, red. Burning red!
Remembering him comes with flashbacks and echoes, tell myself it's time now. Gotta let go, but moving on from him is impossible, when I still see it all in my head. And burning red. Burning it was red!
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known. Missing him was dark gray all alone. Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met. 'Cause loving him was red. Yeah, yeah! Red. We're burning red!
And then his rock is spinning in my head. Comes back to me, burning red. Yeah, yeah!
His love was like driving a new maserati down a dead end street."
Eve clapped and laughed. "Nn."
Treacherous started and I started singing again. "Put your lips close to mine. As long as they don't touch. Out of focus, eye to eye. Till the gravity's too much. And I'll do anything you say. If you say it with your hands. And I'd be smart to walk away, but you're quicksand.
This slope is treacherous. This path is reckless. This slope is treacherous. And I I I, like it.
I can't decide if it's a choice. Getting swept away. I hear the sound of my own voice, asking you to stay. And all we are is skin and bone. Trained to get along. Forever going with the flow, but you're friction.
This slope is treacherous. This path is reckless. This slope is treacherous. And I I I, like it!
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will, get you I'll get you alone. Your name has echoed through my mind and I just, think you should think you should know. That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will, follow you follow you home. I'll follow you follow you home.
This hope is treacherous. This daydream is dangerous. This hope is treacherous. And I I I, I I I, I I I!
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will, get you I'll get you alone. Your name has echoed through my mind and I just, think you should think you should know. That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will, follow you follow you home. I'll follow you follow you home. I'll follow you follow you home. I'll follow you follow you home.
This slope is treacherous. I I I, like it."
During my second verse, Mom came in the door and watched. I turn around not noticing until now. Both her and Eve clapped. "Oh. Hi."
"Hey, Sweety. What you doing?" She asked.
"Just entertaining Eve. I danced with her on the first song then she insisted on just watching me. So I sat her on the bed and did just that." I replied smiling.
"Oh. Well, looks like it's working. Keep at it. I just came to check on you."
"Ok. Thanks."
"No problem." She said and left.
