God, keep my head above water
Don’t let me drown, it gets harder
I’ll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don’t let me drown, drown, drown
Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me drown…
Avril Lavigne, Head above water
After all these years without recording a new song Avril Lavigne, my favorite female singer since my childhood, my childhood crush, has resently presented a new song. And after hearing it I literally fall down to my knees. I remembered how I love/loved you.
We were always good friends since we were 4 or 5. You were the one I had always shared my secrets with. You were my best friend. The one whom I wanted to see every day. When I was 12 I realized I love you. I have loved you since than for more than a decade. You were the one that taught me to watch movies, to listen to various songs.
Avril Lavigne was among your favorite singers. And you made me to listen to her songs. I think it was 2008 when I first heard “Girlfriend’’. Well, I obviously liked the song, not only because it was catchy, but also because of the lyrics. I thought that it would be funny to sing it for you when we became adults and you will get a girlfriend for you.
…It’s not funny now. You have got a girlfriend for you, you are happy for more than a year. And I am really, really jealous. What can I say? I wanna be your girlfriend. Ha, ha, ha…What a funny situation. The truth is she isn’t bad. The worst part is that she is actually a good girl. She works at two places simultaneously, study at the same university that you do. She is not as good looking as I am but she is not ugly. I mean, she is simple, ordinary, good girl and nothing more. Yeah I am jealous! I know! But I know you more than anybody else in this world. I know what you like/dislike. I know what you think when you look at something/somebody. I know you more than I know myself. I even loved you more than myself! Or do I love you still?
A few days ago I have heard “Head above water’’. I was crying when I heard it. I thought about all these years I spend loving you. I thought about all those happy childhood days with my best friend-first love. I thought how much we are alike. I thought how I missed you and my childhood. I thought how you made every day of my life the best day of my life. And I am grateful to you for that. I am happy I have/had you.
We don’t speak much nowadays. But I always remember you, my ‘’Sk8ter boi’’ with a wide smile. I owe you a lot. You are the one responsible for me being myself. And I will always be grateful to you, my one true love!
