You Can’t Hurry Love

So I was looking through my drafts and found this post I had started, but never finished.

So I decided there was no time like the present.

So I saw this quote on twitter:

And it made me think of one of my favorite songs:

You Can’t Hurry Love by The Supremes

This is one of the best songs as the lyrics are fun, the music fantastic, and something everyone can relate to. We all want to find love.

Sometimes we get tired of waiting and try to rush it along, picking the wrong people.

And in the process can get our heart broken.

But as the song says, don’t give up and don’t hurry it along; the right person will come.

The song was written and released in 1966, surpsingly being based on You Can’t Hurry God (He’s Right on Time) by Dorothy Love Coates of The Original Gospel Harmonettes. It was number one for two weeks and have been recorded by Phil Collins, The Dixie Chicks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and The Stray Cats.

It’s a great song and has been in many films.

I need love, love
Oh, ease my mind
And I need to find time
Someone to call mine

My mama said, “you can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait”
She said, “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes

How many heartaches must I stand
Before I find the love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, ooh, it’s almost gone

I remember mama said, “you can’t hurry love

No, you’ll just have to wait”

She said, “love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take”
How long must I wait
How much more must I take
Before loneliness
Will cause my heart, heart to break

No, I can’t bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that i, I can’t go on
Well these precious words keep me hanging on

I remember mama said, “you can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait”
She said, “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes

Now wait
Now love, love don’t come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
Hold me tight
I keep waiting
Ooh, till that day
But it ain’t easy (love don’t come easy)
No, you know it ain’t easy

My mama said you can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
She said “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
She said “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love, no you’ll just have to wait

Yep, don’t forget:

You Don’t Have to Say the Words, I Already Know: Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Most Romantic Moment #5

So you all know that I am a HUGE Star Wars fan.

True story!

And what’s not to like, Star Wars is AWESOME!!!!

Star Wars is a way of life.

So three years have passed since Episode IV: A New Hope in which Luke discovered his father was a Jedi, teamed up with Obi-Wan-Kenobi, and hired smuggler Han Solo to save Princess Leia, (although she really saves herself). They fought the Empire, with Luke ultimately destroying the Death Star

So now the group are on their Rebel base while Darth Vader is actively searching them out. Luke decides to leave for Dagobah to train with Yoda, while Han, Leia, and Chewbacca have escaped the empire, stopping at Cloud City when they have trouble with the ship.

Rebels, Jedi training, fear of who you are, Darth Vader, bounty hunters, carbonite; it is one great adventure.

Most Romantic Moment: You Don’t Have to Say Anything, I Know

I pretty sure you have all figured out which moment I have chosen; it is when Princess Leia tells Han she loves him and he says I know.

So I know a lot of people view it as Han was too masculine to say “I love you” back. I mean he’s a smuggler, space cowboy, always shoots first…

He’s wanted alright. Wanted i MY life.

But to me his “I know,” means more. Not only is he saying I love you, but also telling Leia that he knows, without a doubt she loves him and that she doesn’t have to say more. She doesn’t need to do any big dramatic move, or even try and save him (as he wants her safe), he knows how much she cares. Knew it all along.

How romantic

Cold-Hearted

So my friend Jane loves the last proposal scene between Darcy and Elizabeth at the end of Pride & Prejudice (2005). As for me, I see it a little different.

I mean for real Elizabeth.

Help a guy out:

I guess some people are just like that.

Love of My Life

Why not? It’s perfect, after all:

Am I right?

But seriously, that’s a major thing I look for in a guy. He could be a dream guy straight out of a romance novel, but he wouldn’t anywhere right for me if he didn’t love reading. Books and reading is such a part of who I am, its impossible for me to imagine myself with anyone who didn’t feel the same way.

Yeah pretty much.

See Dean Forester knows what’s up! That’s why he was perfect! ❤

It’s All Jane Austen’s Fault

I blame her for my high expectations of men and obsessions that she caused. I mean the men she created are just tooooo perfect!

Mr. Darcy

The many handsome men who have played Mr. Darcy

So here we have a guy that acts like a total jerk, I mean absolutely awful, but then does a complete 360 when he realizes that he was horrible to the girl he loved. Not only does he do everything he can to change Elizabeth’s opinion of him but does everything he can to help her and her family.

Seriously:

I mean look at how he tells her he loves her (I mean past all the your family is horrible stuff)

I admire and love you! So romantic!

So romantic!

Seriously!

Colonel Brandon

Here is a guy who loved a girl and lost her to someone else. He loved her so much he was willing to raise her daughter and treat her as his own. He then falls for another girl and watches her fall for another, less worthy of her, but does nothing but try to be her friend through it all. When she is in trouble he is willing to do anything, risk any storm, travel over many miles all for her.

So romantic!

Seriously:

Yes, you are.

Mr. Knightly

He’s loved Emma for a while but thinks that she deserves more. So instead of saying anything or doing anything he stays content being her friend and helping her through every mess she throws herself into. I mean he travels through any element to be by Emma’s side; he’s better than the post office.

He also likes her for more than just her beauty and charm as he loves her mind. He’s a man of substance and wants a women who can challenge him and his thinking.

Because he knows her father’s delicate state of mind and that he wouldn’t survive without his daughter around, he gives up living at his house and moves in with her. Can you imagine a wealthy guy who’s been used to having everything his way, give up that independence so that he can make his bride and father-in-law happy? Aw, he is sooooooooo romantic!

Mr. Tilney

Here is a guy who threw away his inheritance all for Catherine. He loved her so much, he didn’t care that she wasn’t rich, he didn’t care that he would be cut off; all he cared about was making Catherine his wife.

So romantic!

Yep Mr. Tilney is perfect for me. Not only do I think so but it has been confirmed by Buzzfeed.

Capt. Wentwoth

So here we have a guy who loved this girl so much and had his heartbroken by her. He thought that she broke up with him because he was poor. He has made a huge success of himself, is rich, but has never forgotten her.

Fredrick Wentworth

He comes on leave and runs into her. He thinks he is over her, but tries to make her jealous by hanging around with other girls. However, he realizes that he still cares for her and when he finds out that she didn’t dump him because he was poor, he begins to hope again.
