3.) We Are the People
(Empire of the Sun)
The
first week of college really seemed to drag on. While I had my head so wrapped
up in school and all the new people, I was still always thinking of Cody and
where we were as a couple. Coming from a small country home into the city was
really different. This song was what I listened to walking around campus
thinking: Wow, we are the people; each one of us is here to make an impact on
the world, we all have this unwritten drive. While I thought about how this
song really tied all these people I didn’t know together, I also thought about
how it described my fears of my relationship. I wrote that week,
“When I think about Cody, I think about the
times when we both look at each other in the eyes, really look, and I feel
this… umm, like we’re both on the same page. Like we’re both equally crazy
about one another. I love it when it feels that way because it’s just nice, and
that’s how it should feel.
If at any point one’s not as interested, then
you lose some pages. The book gets smaller, and before you know it, neither one
of you can remember why you’re together in the first place. It’s a horrible
empty feeling.”
I
couldn’t have been more wrong about us being on the same page. In fact, I wrote
the entry to try and convince myself that Cody and I were still the same couple
we were two years ago, but I knew what I really felt was that empty feeling.
“On the other hand, when you’re both on the
same page, it’s like no other feeling.”
