Pride, mainly. Because the whole world is singing his song - our song, and it’s glorious. They are famous. Like…really famous. Tickets to their show at the Barclay Center sold out in less than two minutes. And apparently, it’s like that in every city they’re visiting.
My hands shake as I open my YouTube app and type in Blue Clover - Between Now and Heartbreak.
The thudding of my heart has turned into a drumbeat that reverberates through my entire body and my thumb trembles in time to it before it finally lands on the play button.
The video starts and my heart shoots off in my chest like a rocket.
It’s me…or at least a girl who looks like me - dancing in a black bathing suit, short hair, port wine stain and all - in front of a huge bonfire. The backdrop is a diamond crusted midnight sky that cloaks and shadows the girl as she dances by herself.
And then, a man who looks like Carter walks to her, reaching out as he approaches. Just before he gets to her, it starts to rain. Instead of running home like we did that night, they stay and dance.
The rain soaks them, but they don’t seem to notice. The move together, forehead to forehead, nose to nose as the music plays.
Can I have this dance?
Cause they’re playing our song.
Can we go back to the time
When our love was strong?
Do you remember the first time?
How close I held your body to mine.
How the world fell away
And all the remained
Was you and me.
We may have lost forever,
But this is my love song
And, I’ll never say never.
Even when the music dies
There’ll be no bittersweet goodbyes
‘cause Our hearts will take over.
And When the world tells us no,
They ‘ll always say yes.
So between now and heartbreak, ,
Let’s pretend that this love ours
Won’t ever end.
I can’t look away. It’s like watching my life play and not being able to take part.
He hugs her, and I ache from the absence of his arms.
They kiss, and my lips throb.
