Loving Him Was Blue
I've got the blues, from not being with you.
They say I'm crazy for loving you.
I tell them their wrong, they tell me no.
I start to wonder if I'm going to be with you because I got the blues.
Oh yes I do.
It's like being lonely when your not alone.
It's like a hurt that can be gone.
I'm trying to fight it, I'm trying to lose it, but all I end up losing is you.

Janies Future....In Time....
"There are years that ask questions and years that answer." Write a speculative response on what the upcoming year will hold for Janie. Will this year be the year that asks questions or one that answers them? Will this be the year that does both?
I believe that the upcoming year will answer both questions for Janie. She has finally met someone who cares about her just as much as she cares about them. That's something she has always wanted. However, was her finding that man worth leaving her other husband behind?
Also, her Nanny passing away really broke her in the sense that she realized that her Nanny wasn't there anymore to bicker at her for saying "what love is" and what it meant for her.Janie leaving into the sunset with Jody is truly a test to her. She simply decides to drop everything that she is doing for Jody, even if she's only known him for a short amount of time.
