Imagine going to Taylor's concert because she's quiting music. (Taylor, please never do this. My heart just :(  )

"Where you going, mama?" Your little girl asks you, holding her worn out teddy bear.

"To a concert, love. Wanna come with me?" I ask her. She was wearing a pink floral dress and had her hair in pigtails. Her dad tried to fix her hair today. It didn't go well but points for trying.

"Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!" The crowd screamed, echoing from the walls of the arena. Among the crowd, so many of them were older now with their children on their shoulders. They were not many twelve year old girls like the media portrayed them as. They were always wrong in telling the truth. 

They look up to the person who used to have long curly hair, wear sundresses and had painted 13 on her hand. Now, she was confident and happy and proved to everyone who thought she wasn't good enough.

"Welcome to my last tour night, Nashville!" Taylor says. The crowd screams out loud. Some start to tear up.

"All you had to do was stay." Someone screams out.

"I know guys. It's hard for me too but a little girl needs me right now." I told them, they knew about her for a while now.

"Before my final song, I just wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for the support and love and dedication that you have given me through out my life. This would never have happened without you guys putting me into your lives. You will always be a part of mine. I will always love you forever and always always. All I can say is that this isn't the end for us. It will never be. I will be back, I promise you that. After All, you are the best relationship that have always been mine. But for now, all I can say is long live." She says, playing familiar tunes that we knew about. Tears were filling her eyes, threatening to fall down her cheeks. It took everything to not fall apart on stage.

The spotlight was all on her. Her nerves were gone and replaced with nothing but gratitude for the people she was playing for.

I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives

Would never be the same
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age
Long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"

And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around

Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines

Wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, "this is absurd"

'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world
Long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life
Fighting dragons with you
I was screaming, "long live the look on your face"

And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall

Every single person in the concert started screaming the lyrics from the top of their lungs. Shouting their love out for Taylor to hear. Taylor took a moment to look out to the crowd. Almost every single person were holding "Forever and always" signs. It made her heartache knowing she would take a long break from all of this. She didn't want to but for the first time, she found what she always wanted.

She looked down at the keys of the piano. Inhaling deeply, she takes everything slowly. She loved the crowd cheering and performing the music she made. She puts her hands on the keys and starts playing.

The crowd sings along to each word. Making everything more real. This was the last show for a while. Tears fall down her cheeks. She stops playing the piano for a moment. Taking one last look before playing again.

Can you take a moment?
Promise me this.
That you'll stand by me forever.
If God forbids, fate should step in.
And force us into a good life.
If you have children someday,
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine

Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through

All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Singing long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life
Fighting dragons with you
And long, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered

When she stopped, she looked into the crowd. Their signs that said forever and always were gone and I promise were seen. With that, she did her final bow. The crowd went wild, shouting I love you and we'll wait forever.

With one last glance, she look around the people who stood by her through thick and thin. She looked over the people who cared for her and loved her wholeheartedly. She looked over to the people who were going to wait for till she returns and she will. Tears were streaming from their eyes and hers. She knew she would come back and so did they. But for now, this was the last time.
