We Don't Talk Anymore
thevictoriouslatino.blogspot.com

If you haven't heard this song yet, you probably will eventually. This song has a somber sound to it, being that it's about a break up. If you've heard it and haven't really listened to the lyrics, you might have missed an underlying message that each singer has when they sing their part. This is one of those songs that almost everyone can relate to, even if they don't want to admit it. Even having a crush on someone that is in a relationship with somebody else can be really hard, whether you actually dated them or not.

"We don't talk anymore" addresses one of the biggest losses of a relationship. Going from talking to anything and everything to virtually nothing can be really hard. You wonder why you even bothered with the entire relationship in the first place, and it causes a lot of confusion and hurt.

Charlie says:

I just heard you found the one you've been looking
You've been looking for
I wish I would have known that wasn't me
'Cause even after all this time I still wonder
Why I can't move on
Just the way you did so easily

Charlie seems upset that he heard she found what she was looking for, and he's upset that wasn't what she thought about him when they were together.

Don't wanna know
What kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's holding onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame

He doesn't want to know what Selena is wearing out tonight, because he knows she probably looks smoking and is going to attract a lot of male attention.

Selena says:

I just hope you're lying next to somebody
Who knows how to love you like me
There must be a good reason that you're gone
Every now and then I think you
Might want me to come show up at your door
But I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong

Selena thinks that the whole reason he's gone is because he found someone better in bed, and it almost feels like she's blaming herself. Then of course she wonders if she should reach out to him, but she's too afraid to do it because she doesn't know if that's what he wants.

Don't wanna know
If you're looking into her eyes
If she's holding onto you so tight the way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame

She's afraid that his physical relationship with this new woman is going to turn into something else. She doesn't want him to look into her eyes because that means they would be forming an emotional connection.

Then Charlie changes what he said to:

Don't wanna know
What kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's giving it to you just right
The way I did before

Charlie assumes that the tight holding led to other things, but he doesn't really want to know for sure.

So, what does this song have to do with breakups? Guys tend to be more worried about the physical aspect of what their ex is doing, while girls tend to be worried about the emotional aspect. Basically, the main point of this song is that breakups suck, and sitting around worrying about what your ex is doing or who they're with doesn't help one bit.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
