"How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?"
Alright, one thing I ought to confess: I am a hopeless romantic. And I chose this song for today because I love the story it tells.
And perhaps I understand waiting for someone that you miss. And they don't come back. It's really hit me as I've graduated and as I leave all my younger friends behind. . . not to mention all my graduated friends that are seperating and ending up in a million different places.
And it's not like I'm going to hang around Heber, where I've grown up my whole life, and just wait for them to come back. But still, I will miss them all because

they all made me who I am.
And it's so strange for me to wrap my mind around the idea that I may not see them again. There are too many 'what if's' and 'why did this happen this way' and it's so awful being caught in the somewhat cloud of uncertainty about my future.
I know what I want in life: to be a music teacher, to fall in love with a devastatingly handsome returned missionary and marry in the temple and have my very own family. But you never know what life will throw at you. I know that for sure. All my fairy tale fantasies about a guy that will sweep me off my feet (around 6 ft, blonde, light eyes, intelligent, spiritual, possibly plays the piano or guitar, etc.) is hard to imagine.
I got so caught up in high school and the idea that THAT is what life is like, and I got so used to it. But that's definitely not all there is. I'm just stuck in this in-between phase between dependent and independent, between child and adult, between young womens and relief society, between careleess and responsible. And I need to make up my mind about where I belong soon or I might die!
Which brings me back to the lyrics "how can I move on when I'm still in love with you?"

I have been in love with this time in my life.
I loved the familiarity of school each year and of seeing the same people and having a family to come home to every night. And it's all about to change. And I don't want to move! I just want to stop the inevitable and keep all the things I've grown to love around me. BUT that defeats life's purpose. It wouldn't make me the person that I need to become.
And so, I am
"The Woman that MUST be moved"
Dang it.
