For The Longest Time by Billy Joel

After the big heartbreak, I eventually moved on and met someone in a different place in life than I was at. I was seventeen (going on eighteen ;) ) and going through the normal changes of being a senior, thinking about the future and college, and he was twenty, stuck in between high school and college with some back problems he was trying to sort out. We met in this in between world and thought we'd stumble along together. He told me to listen to this song one night and at the time I didn't really like it, it seemed like a negative song to me. But months later I understood the song and it's meaning, and why he liked it so much. Like I said, we were both in between stages in our lives and it was nice to feel love again and enjoy someone again. The expression that you don't get over someone until you fall in love with someone else was always true in my case. I saw a real future with this guy and wanted everything with him. We seemed to fit together perfectly and it was just easy with us. This song, for me, was about a time that I got to remember the feeling of love and laughter in my life. Later it became the saddest song ever, but we'll get to that.
