Love : We think we know it !

This is a handwritten script from the video linked below. I liked it so much that I felt a need to write it down in words.

So lets start with Sarah and Phil getting onto the stage and start describing the emotion we think we all are so familiar with and in reality yet so oblivious to .. LOVE !!!




Sarah & Phil together : I knew exactly what love looked like …….
in seventh grade

Sarah : Even though I hadn’t met love yet , if love had wondered into my home room I would have recognised him at first glance
Love wore a hemp necklace.

Phil : I would have recognised her at first glance , love wore a tight french braid 

Sarah : Love played acoustic guitar and knew all my favourite beatle songs

Phil : Love wasn’t afraid to ride the bus with me

Sarah & Phil together  : And I knew 

Sarah : I just must be searching in the wrong classroom 

Phil : Just must be checking the wrong hallway , she was there I was sure of it

Sarah : If only I could find him

Sarah & Phil together : But when love finally showed up

Phil : She had a bowl cut

Sarah : She wore the same clothes every day for a week

Phil : Love hated the bus

Sarah : Love didn’t know anything about the beatles

Sarah & Phil together : And instead

Phil : Every time I tried to kiss love 

Sarah & Phil together : Our teeth got in the way

Sarah : Love became the reason I lied to my parents.

Phil : I am going to ben’s house

Sarah : Love had terrible rhythm on the dance floor but made sure we never missed a slow song

Phil : Love waited by the phone because she knew if her father  picked up it would be like

Sarah : Hello..Hello.. I guess they hang up.

Phil : And love grew

Sarah : Stretched like a trampoline , 

Phil : Love changed

Sarah : Love disappeared slowly , like baby teeth , losing parts of me I thought I needed

Phil : Love vanished like an amateur magician , everyone could see the trap door but me

Sarah : Like a flat tyre , there were other places I had planned on going 

Sarah & Phil together : But my plans didn’t matter 

Sarah : Love stayed away for years and when love finally reappeared, I barely recognised him

Phil : Love smelled different now , had darker eyes

Sarah : A broader back , love came with freckles I didn’t recognise

Phil : new birth marks , a softer voice 

Sarah : There were new sleeping patterns 

Phil : New favourite books

Sarah : Love had songs that reminded him of someone else 

Phil : Songs that love didn’t like to listen to 

Sarah & Phil together : so did I 

Phil : But we found a park bench that fit us perfectly

Sarah : We found jokes that make us laugh

Phil : And now love makes me fresh home made chocolate chip cookies

Sarah : But love will probably finish most of them for a midnight snack

Phil : Love looks great in lingerie but still likes to wear her retainer

Sarah : Love is terrible driver but a great navigator

Phil : Love knows where she is going , it just might take her two hours longer than she had planned

Sarah : Love is messier now

Phil : Not as simple

Sarah : Love uses the word boobs in front of my parents

Phil : Love chews too loud

Sarah : Love leaves the cap off the toothpaste

Phil : Love uses smiley faces in her text messages

Sarah : and turns out

Sarah & Phil together : Love shitssss….

Sarah : But love also cries , and love will tell you , you are beautiful

Phil : And mean it 

Sarah : over and over again

Phil : You are beautiful

Sarah : When you first wake up

Phil : You are beautiful

Sarah : When you just been crying

Phil : You are beautiful

Sarah : When you don’t wanna hear it

Phil : You are beautiful

Sarah : When you don’t believe it

Phil : You are beautiful

Sarah : When nobody else will tell you 

Phil : You are beautiful

Sarah : Love still thinks

Phil : …………………..silence

Sarah : You are beautiful

Phil : But love is not perfect and will sometimes forget

Sarah : When you need to hear it the most

Sarah & Phil together : You are beautiful 

Sarah : Do not forget this 

Phil : Love is not who you were expecting , Love is not what you can predict

Sarah : May be love is in NYC already asleep , you are in california , australia , wide awake , may be love is always in the wrong timezone.

Phil : May be love is not ready for you , May be you are not ready for love

Sarah : May be love just isn’t the marrying type

Phil : May be next time you see love is 20 years after the divorce, love looks older now but just as beautiful as you remember 

Sarah : May be love is only there for a month 

Phil : May be love is there for every firework , every birthday party , every hospital visit

Sarah : May be love stays

Phil : May be love can’t

Sarah & Phil together : May be love shouldn’t

Phil : Love arrives when exactly love is supposed to , Love leaves exactly when love must

Sarah : when love arrives say 

Sarah & Phil together : Welcome , make yourself comfortable 

Phil : When love leaves , ask her to leave the door open behind her

Sarah : Turn off the music , listen to the quiet

Phil : Whisper


Sarah & Phil together : Thank you for stopping by !!!
