The scrapbook I created for the romance of the olllld version of my current novel. It's really changed since then, lol.

1. The hardest
lesson to
learn, was the
least
complicated.
The Faux Fiancés

2. You have been mine...

3. You have been mine since
time untold
Our love is immortal,
don’t you know?
Others will come and they will go
But I loved you young
and I’ll love you old
Only you have seen
the other side of me
Call me naive, I think you will
But I loved you then,
do you love me still?

4. “I didn’t wanna run away,... but I had to get away”
Foolish you, you wanna go away
Like a fool I went and stayed Seeking fortune’s favour on your
too long own
Now I’m wondering if your While the one who stays beside you,
love’s still strong
foolish me
Here I am, signed, sealed,
delivered - I’m yours Is left alone
...Don’t you know how fortune
favours few?
“Everything was easy then, so sweet and
innocent
But my demons and my angels
reappeared
There were only traces of the man you
thought I’d be
Too afraid to hear the words I’d always
feared
Leaving you with only questions all
these years”

5. Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth? Idiot me, stupid fool
You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without.
How could you be so uncool?
...Did I ask too much? More than a lot?
To fall in love with someone who
You gave me nothing, now it’s all I’ve got.
Doesn’t really care for you
“The chill in your embrace,
The expression on your face “Love, it’s not I who didn’t try hard enough...”
Told me maybe you might have
some advice to give
So I wanna say
On how to be insensitive.” thank you cause it
makes me that
much stronger,
makes me work a
little bit harder,
makes me that
much wiser, so
thanks for making
me a fighter.
Make me learn a
little bit faster,
makes my skin a
little bit thicker,
makes me that
much stronger, so
thanks for making
me a fighter.”

6. Montreal: What makes me think...

7. “What makes me think I could start clean slated,
the hardest to learn was the least complicated.”
They’ve got a wall in China, it’s a
1000 miles long. To keep out the
foreigners they made it strong. And
I’ve got a wall around me that you
can’t even see.
Another head aches, another heart
breaks
I’m so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes
and goes
I need direction to perfection
...Help me out.

8. The Plateau: I was always on your side...

9. I would have given you all of my heart
But there’s someone who’s torn it apart
And he’s taken just all that I have
I’ll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
I’ve learned to
walk with my
back to the fire
I like the heat
but I don’t
wanna get
burned

10. Charlevoix:
The first cut is
th deepest...
e

11. Every now and then you come to mind How you have changed my friend
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game You’re not the same my friend
But when your name was called you found a place to hide Do you lose sleep at night?
When you knew that I was always on your side Do you ever stop to think where it went wrong for you?
...I’m left to carry on and wonder why What turned your reds to blues?
Even through it all, I’m always on your side Who put those tiny daggers in your heart?

12. Lake of Two Mountains: Can’thelp feeling...

13. But if you asked me to, I just might change my mind.
Somehow ever since I’ve been around you, Used to be that I believed in something
Can’t go back to being on my own Used to be that I believed in love
Can’t help feeling darling since I found you It’s been a long time since I’ve had that feeling
That I found my home - That I’m finally home - I could love someone, I could trust someone
I said I’d never let nobody get too close to me, darling I said I’d never let nobody near my heart again, darling
I said I needed to be free... I said I’d never let nobody in...

14. If you asked me to...

15. “What if all these fears that we both buy into, melt away and disappear?”

16. I wanna
come when
you call, I’ll
get to you if
I have to
crawl...

17. Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow?

18. An ending.
