To Be Only Yours...I Pray....

There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold

But You sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my handsand pray to be only Yours

I pray to be only Yours

I know now you're my only hope

~Only Hope~ Mandy Moore

The semi-famous words of Mandy Moore, sung in the definitely-famous 2002 movie A Walk to Remember. The movie is a classic love story of teenage love turning out to be the love of their lives. The song above was sung during a play which starred the stars of the movie, Shane West and Mandy Moore. The song was intentionally to describe the play's characters' relationship, but turned out to be the most memorable love song--well, at least in my opinion. The basic storyline is badboy Landon Carter, played by Shane West, meets and immediately falls in love with the good-girl Jamie Sullivan, played by Mandy Moore. I can't describe really how much I love this movie, because to me, it portrays the realities of true love. Yes, I know it's just a movie but...they captured it perfectly.

The thing that I love best about this movie is one simple fact. Jamie is the preacher's daughter and wants the whole fluffy white wedding dress thing. Landon was the trouble-maker badguy, who has quite frankly broken that rule a couple of times. But he gives it all up for Jamie. They fall in love, and he respects her in everyway. He doesn't want anything from her except to make her happy. It doesn't matter how; he just wants her happy. He never pushes her for anything, but fights for her love, because he loves her just as much if not more. Even through hard times, Landon stays with her, and even says at the end of the movie that Jamie saved his life. I think what's so amazing is that they are irrevoccably in love. And another thing that's so astonishing is that people write it off as fictional--that could never happen.

And that's where people are wrong. I believe that it happens everyday. It's not just ficitonal, there is that strong love, that..innocent love. I know it is, because I believe I've found it myself. It's just the patience thing that people don't get, so they just settle. Now, I'm not saying to wait around so long that you die gray and alone, though nothing's wrong with that if you so choose. What I'm saying is you can't expect the first couple of guys that happen to come into your life to be absolutely amazing and perfect for you in everyway. If you do happen to find that person so soon, like I did, consider yourself extremely lucky.

For you others, rent A Walk to Remember, have a good cry, set a decent standard and be patient. It'll all work out.
