Cognoscente

I've heard it said that being overly-impressed with well-turned phrases is a sign of an unsophisticated mind. Well that's me! There are countless dance songs that I love. And my silly brain assigns more than booty-shaking worth to them. Like my current addiction, September's Cry for You:
You'll never see me again
So now who's gonna cry for you?
You'll never see me again
No matter what you do
Love that chorus. I so want to be like that when I break up with someone—confident, empowered, and final. I have the finality down only because I hate regrets and being reminded of mistakes. The refrain is also glorious:
Forever and ever
Life is now or never
Forever never comes around
 People love and let go
Forever and ever
Life is now or never
Forever's gonna slow you down
Simple rhyme scheme with the evolution from the base on lines three and six—love that! Don Henley is still the master but the form still impresses me. And the content… encouragment not to get stuck waiting, to act now. Something I need constant reminding of. As I'm dancing around. *snicker*
