Adele Vevo video: Adele - Someone Like You (2011, from her "21" album)
Directed by Jake Nava.
In my case, on a cool January day in 1997, instead of having The Seine and Paris to promenade thru after getting some devastating news regarding a wonderful woman I loved and adored, I had all the miles of I-95 between the historic Brandywine Valley of PA and chaotic Washington, D.C. to think about what could've been, while I made my way home, teary-eyed and defeated.
Fortunately for me on my romantic-but-ultimately-Quixotic quest to try one last time to recreate the great future I so desperately wanted, my best-friend Shannon had agreed weeks before to be my co-pilot and Sancho Panza on the trip.
On the drive back, Shannon's emotional support and cheerfulness, which she always had in abundance, kept me focused on staying on the road and imagining a 'new' future, even while the great future I thought I might really have been on the verge of having for good, the one I had actually had tasted and savored, had just completely vanished into thin air: married and pregnant.
That's all she wrote- and then some.
"... who would have known how bittersweet this would taste."
