Crazy Girl

2011 was a hard year for me.  I lost a lot and felt like I gained little (which I know isn't the case).  One of the things I lost was my grandmother, a beautiful gal.  A couple months after she passed I went to an Eli Young Band Concert with friends.  When the band sang a lovely song called Guinevere, I broke down.  One minute I was happy-go-lucky, dancing and singing and the next I had tears streaming down my cheeks as I related the brave woman in the song to my grandma.


I tell you that story to tell you this, my favorite song used to by Crazy Girl (also by Eli Young Band).  My boyfriend at the time also liked it.  In my head, I counted it as "our song."  After Guinevere, my boyfriend took me in his arms and whisper/sang all of Crazy Girl in my ear along with the country band.  I never felt more cherished or closer to him.  I took this song as a promise.


Several months later we broke up; the promise broken.  I could not listen to this song for a very long time due to extreme emotions.  The last time I heard it, I was able to resist turning the channel.  I'm not able to sing along yet, but you never know what tomorrow holds.
