 "Time is a lot of the things people say that God is. There's the always preexisting, and having no end. There's the notion of being all powerful--because nothing can stand against time, can it? Not mountains, not armies. And time is, of course, all healing. Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardships erased, all loss subsumed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return. And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil." -D.G

 

DISCLAMER: I don't own *NSYNC or Justin Timberlake, JIVE records, or anything else affiliated with the boys.  All of my stories are works of fiction.  I do own all original characters, plots, etc.  Please don't steal my stuff!

Silence stared me in the face
And I finally heard its voice
It seemed to softly say
That in love you have a choice

She, a young woman, abandoned by those closest to her, and yet embraced by those furthest from her. Life has thrown one, two, three curveballs her way, and yet, she keeps her heart open to love.

He, a musician who's lost his muse, finds himself discovering a terrifying passion. With his best friend alongside to guide him, he unearths the missing puzzle piece – his heart.

I use that quote all the time when people mention Walmart..."I had my baby in a Walmart".  I even use the southern accent.  I usually get strange looks.

Author's Response: I absolutely love that movie! I fell in love with Natalie Portman after that movie. And, no, you're not weird. They're weird!

Never ignore the elephant in the room.  It's just a bad idea. :) You should tell Justin and JC that.

Author's Response:

Good advice ma'am! :)

That was adorable.  I loved it :)  I like the gradual build between them.  It's great.

Author's Response: She came into their lives like a rocket out the sky, and everything else has just seemed to happen so fast. I wanted things between to slowly build up. Thanks for reviewing!

Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me

The butterflies are out from Charlottesville this morning
They were carryin' a letter addressed to me
As I tore the envelope open sunshine came pourin' out
All at once I set them best wishes free


You wrote "how's it been" in some crazy pen on paper
The red wine stain on the back had me green with envy
And the blues you sang on the b-side of that mixtape made me smile
Realized this love of ours might never be

You're upstate with Shakespeare 
I'm out west with Cassidy
As our long love letters pass like strangers in the night


Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me


You went on and on 'bout some new song and a change of seasons
Bout how Buckley's sketches kept you up all night
Though I did my best to lay to rest your fears about gettin' old
Truth be told it's been so long you just might be right


You're upstate with Shakespeare
I'm out west with Cassidy
As our long love letters pass like strangers in the night

Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me 

As I tore the envelope open sunshine came pourin' out
Realized this love of ours was so meant to be


Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me

I agree, Joey's pants must have been made from an old lady's couch, lol.  It's sad that I remember exactly which pants they're talking about, too. :)

So I totally started to read this simply because I adore Miranda Lambert and her Crazy Ex-girlfriend CD.  I love what you did with it :)



Author's Response: awww thanks!! and yes, that album is pure love.

Your boyfriend has been so patient with you this past year since you're a proud v-card member, so during one of your movie nights, you decide to show him a little appreciation.

OK, you've got me interested.  What happens next?  And please tell me that she leaves the douche, because I don't like him, lol.

At 18, Justin Timberlake left his hometown of Millington, Tennessee and became an overnight pop sensation as a member of NSYNC.  Ten years later, he's returning home.  His first night back in town he runs in to an old friend and learns that a lot has happened since he became famous.  Can he make up for past mistakes, or is it too late? 

Inspired by Billy Ray Cyrus' "Back To Tennessee"   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xnjrqotlgU

That was hot!

Author's Response: :]

 

See her walking alone
In this city of heartache and stone 
She finds her way down
To where she once found all her dreams 
She doesn't understand why
Something she'd given her heart to could die 
But that's just the way it works out, they say 

She's coming back down
This carousel ride has stopped spinning around
She wants to say she's sorry and stay
But it's too late now
This carousel ride has shut down

I read books in the bar all the time.  Granted, my man is the bartender and I hang out there quite often, but still.  There's nothing wrong with reading a book in a bar :)

 

Very interesting.  You never cease to amaze me!
