Poem a Day: Taylor Swift’s Song

Paperclip (I like that name!) wrote this about MinHo:

Okay i finally delurked because this show has me slightly obsessed. Whilst I have finals right around the corner..oops!
It was actually your post about the apple apology that got me interested about the show, and I binged four episodes of it after your post on who the male lead is. So I went into the show assuming Minho is the lead, and all your posts since then have absolutely convinced me of that. It’s like I can’t unsee it, even though Minho is such a jerk and a brat and presently, all wrong for our lovable heroine. While Dr.Ye is doing everything right. I always root for the nice guy!! So why do I find myself firmly on board the Minho-Boyoung ship?!…For this I blame you @packmule3 hehe.

Hey, don’t blame me, Paperclip.

Deep down inside, and from the start, you liked that jerk MinHo. But you were just looking for a reason so other people wouldn’t think you’re crazy and destructive. I think that’s the problem with a few MinHo supporters. They didn’t want to be ridiculed or harassed so they kept their opinions secret.

What you wrote about MinHo being “all wrong for our lovable heroine while Dr. Ye is doing everything right” reminded me of this Taylor Swift song, “The Way I Loved You.”

It’s not poetry but she co-wrote it when she was 18? 19? and (I’m assuming) earned money with it. So kudos to her.

The sentiments she sang about here approximate what you wrote about not being able to dictate who you fall in love with.

Wellll, let me revise that. SOMETIMES you can’t, sometimes you CAN.  If I were your mom, and you fell in love with a wrong one, your dad and I would send you to Europe for year and tie up your trust fund. hahaha. I know my parents (Bless their hearts!) did eons ago….

The Way I Loved You
Taylor Swift

He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it’s like
I couldn’t ask for anything better

He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says, you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine

But I miss screamin’ and fightin’
And kissin’ in the rain
And it’s two a.m. and I’m cursin’ your name
You’re so in love that you act insane
And that’s the way I loved you

Breakin’ down and comin’ undone
It’s a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you

He respects my space and never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will

He’s close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He’s charming and endearing
And I’m comfortable

He can’t see the smile I’m fakin’
And my heart’s not breakin’
‘Cause I’m not feelin’ anything at all

And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated
Got away by some mistake and now

I’ll be screamin’ and fightin’
And kissin’ in the rain
It’s two a.m. and I’m cursin’ your name
I’m so in love that I acted insane
And that’s the way I loved you
Breakin’ down and comin’ undone
It’s a roller-coaster kinda rush

And I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you
And that’s the way I loved you
I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you
