Taylor Swift Debut Stories

Tim McGraw

It was a good run if I'm being honest...

The sun was setting outside my bedroom window to reveal a chilly September night without the sun. I sat on my bed with three empty boxes of tissues next to me. My bed was un-made and the lights were off. I curled into a ball on my bed and heard the sound of the tissue box hitting the ground as I kicked it off. I never knew that it would end up like this. I never knew that there would be a day that we weren't together.

I looked out my window at the stars. Georgia was chilly this fall and I sadly wouldn't have him to keep me warm this year. Three years it has been since we finally started dating. I got up and looked under my bed to see the dark brown box with a combination lock to open it. I pulled it out from under my bed and spun in the combination. 13-22-07, my lucky numbers.

Inside were the many letters from the beginning of our relationship that I wrote to break up with him when I couldn't take it. I guess the saying hurt them before you get hurt is real. I remember every time I wrote these I was fuming with anger. There were two letters that he has never seen or read before in the box. The first one I wrote was because I saw him hanging out with a lot of other girls. It read;

Marcus, the last few months have been magical with all of our dates and with that I hate to admit this. I believe that we are not fit for each other. I remember our first date night when I snuck out of the house to meet you. I wore a little black dress and failed miserably at straightening my hair. You picked me up down the street in your old Chevy truck and on the way to the lake it broke down for 20 minutes... It was a good time sitting in the bed of the truck waiting for it to start again, you're arm around my shoulders staring at the beautiful Georgia stars and you told me that my eyes put those stars to shame. It was one of the sweetest things I had ever heard but I said that's a lie, haha... We spent all summer together and It was amazing it went by so fast but I don't think I can trust you after I saw you with her the other day. I hope you understand. Sincerely, Monica

I stared at the letter and read it over and over. That first date was an amazing one definitely even though it was so peaceful and simple. It had been a whole month since we broke up and it hurt me. I thanked god though that you couldn't see me like this. I didn't understand why it had to hurt so  much. Why couldn't it just end? I sat at my desk and turned on the desk lamp to get a little light after the sun set. I opened up the next letter to read. I remembered why I wrote this one too. We got in a huge fight over me going out with my friends one night and when I came back he was mad about how I was dressed. The second letter read;

Marcus, I would like to say that we had what some would call miraculous. After everything we have done and have gone through. Though I do not think I can deal any longer. After that night of us fighting after I came back from a night out with my friends I realized that we could not get along well. The whole year we have spent together will never be forgotten and it was something I will always remember but I can not stay like this. I would like to let you go with one thing though. My favorite thing we have ever done together was the one night at your place where I was wearing my blue jeans that you loved and a sweater with my hair a mess. You in shorts and nothing else. You turned on our song and we danced all night with the spotlight of the moon hitting the lake in your backyard. Thank you... Sincerely, Monica

Our song always depended on our mood that day but it was always a Tim McGraw song because he was both our favorite singer. I decided to put on an album of his and clean up my room. You have to start somewhere right? After a few hours of cleaning and relaxing I got a text from my friend. We called for hours and talked about my problems because of course she new that I was still not over him. I loved him and I hope he knew that then. I now know though that I can't worry about then but about now. I have to leave it behind me and find new opportunities.

My friend ended the call with asking me if I wanted to go out tomorrow night. I of course said yes. I just had to do one thing before hand. I had to write one more letter. This one I would actually send though and it would be a sweet final ending to us. I sat down at my desk once more the next day and started writing. When I finished I put on my best going out outfit and put the letter in my bag. Before I knew it I was driving to his house. I took the letter out of my bag and walked up to the door and slid it under, rang the doorbell and climbed into my car. Before driving off I saw him open the door to try and catch who slipped the letter under the door. I waved and drove off.

I had an amazing night out with my friends and honestly I feel like this is a great new start. I got a text message later from him though when I got home. He said he wanted to get back together, I knew better though and I felt like the letter was enough confirmation for that. That's because it read;

When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me. When you think happiness I hope you think my little black dress and the spotlight on the lake. When you think of your favorite song I hope you think of us. When you turn on the radio I hope it takes you back to when we were young and happy. When you think of Tim McGraw... I hope you think of me.
