A Song For "The Love Letter"
I was listening to "Run" by Snow Patrol earlier, and I realized that it is the perfect song for Scott & Lizzie.
Lizzie is a poetess living in the 1800s, and she cannot seem to get anyone to publish her (at the time) progressive poetry. She wrote to Scott, "I sing, but no one hears my voice." No one in her time period thought of her poetry as possesing any merit.
Scott's last letter to the past (before the post office that connected them burned down) said, "Keep singing my love. I will always be here to listen."
The song, "Run" sounds like what Scott said to Lizzie:
"Light up, light up as if you have a choice. Even if you cannot hear my voice. I'll be right beside you dear. Louder, louder, and we'll unfold our lives. I can hardly speak. I don't understand, why you can't raise your voice to sing
To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry, and as we say our long goodbye, I nearly do."
I feel a lot like Lizzie did - that I sing and no one hears my voice. In a way, when I blog, I feel as if it is my heart's call reaching out to my future spouse, wanting to be heard and known - lonely, echoing out into the void, unknown, unheard by him - wherever he is.
