Bleeding love song
I wish to believe he is looking down on me and hoping this world gets better in time. I would have continued to let time pass and be frozen. I owe him a special thanks because if it was not for him and this song, I would have not come out then. I thank my boyfriend for introducing me to this song. In fact, she was more surprised with the fact that I was interested in white boys rather than the fact that I was gay. My mother was supportive with my decision to come out and happy I am no longer living in denial, closed off, and having to remain in silence. The lyrics, “but I don’t care what they say / I’m in love with you / they try to pull me away / but they don’t know the truth,” played a pivotal point in my decision to come out. I hesitated and said, “I am gay and this boy is my boyfriend.” My mother proceeded, “So, if I call this boy, he would tell me the same thing?” I told my mother with conviction, “This boy is no one and this means nothing.” My mother asked, “Who is this boy?” and “Why does this boy’s name appear as is?” She stumbled on a contact in all caps with unnecessary repeated letters followed by text symbols. But I dont care what they say, Im in love with you They try to. My mother borrowed my cell phone to place a call for a taxi. Closed off from love, I didnt need the pain Once or twice was enough, and it was all in vain Time starts to pass, before you know it, youre frozen But something happened for the very first time with you My heart melted to the ground, found something true And everyones looking round, thinking Im going crazy.
The day I came out, it did not happen the way I thought it would. The song that is the most meaningful to my coming out is “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis, which was introduced to me by a boy in my senior year of high school. “Bleeding Love” was submitted to our playlist by our close friend, Christian, A gay man who used Lewis’ track to come out to his family. Including our very own Pride Anthem Playlist. With fans everywhere requesting plays and Miss Lewis quickly becoming a household name.Īnd though it has been 12 years since the track’s release- “Bleeding Love” is still making it’s way onto love song playlists everywhere. Released to American fans on December 18th, 2007, “Bleeding Love” instantly became a radio favorite.
