One summer on vacation in Mexico, I met a beautiful guy. We fell for each other instantly. Even though it was long distance, we were "dating" for almost a solid year. I thought that he was it. I'm a singer and knowing I had him made songs that much sweeter. I could sing love songs for hours because I never related to them more. We would talk about marriage and our future together and I looked forward to it. I went back without telling him so I can surprise him. The only surprise that day was when I found out he had gotten married and had a baby on the way. I was devastated. All of those beautiful love songs I sang turned into knives in my chest. I knew this song for years but I never attempted singing it. When I did, I could feel a shift. I could feel that pain leaving me when I sang. This song gave me the strength to pull myself together. People think I sing this song because I love Selena Quintanilla, which I do, but no one really knew why this song hit me so close to home.
