Nathaniel Archibald & Blair Waldorf

She is the afflicted perfectionist, determined never to meet failure because she flourishes on the consistency flawlessness brings. He is the agonized dream boy, hiding the disappointment that is his prestigious life. They have lived, laughed & loved together, sharing the most intimate of secrets that they dare not utter to anyone else. They have smiled, cried, embraced & kissed. They are soul mates; lovers; friends; repositories; predestined. They are evermore. And they will forever teach that finding true love isn't a destination, it's a journey.

"What makes Leighton so attractive is that she's very confident. She's comfortable in her own skin and she's not trying to win anyone's approval, which is sexy. She's also really intelligent and has a great sense of humor. I feel like I have an odd sense of humor and she does, too. We're both kind of weirdos. When you're hanging out with her, you're free to do anything. She doesn't judge. Leighton was born in the wrong generation. She should have been born in the 70's because she's very free spirited. If people would be shocked by anything about her, it's how nice she is, how personable. And obviously, she's gorgeous."
- Chace Crawford.

"Chace can appeal to pretty much anybody because he's so sweet and cultured. He has this kind of moral
- I think it's because he's from the South. He's a gentleman and he's also very fashionable. And he's fun to work with. Chace is really good at making different voices and quoting movies. He loves talking about football, but I could care less. He knows he's hot, but he's smart about it. He doesn't let it get to his head and I think that's really attractive."
- Leighton Meester.

I see you and soon we are spiraling down an empty abyss, uncertain of the speed and limits, wondering the whole way down if we are ready for the impact that is soon to come; if there is an impact at all. Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you. And maybe in the end, we will have to pick ourselves up, leave everything behind and face what was never reached; the corners we didn't find, the songs we didn't hear, the places we didn't see, the feelings we didn't have for anyone else but for each other. Hello, is it me you're looking for? It has always been you, don't you see? That every fiber of my being wants to know if you do. I need to come home and home is you. Just keep loving me, in any way you can, and I will be okay.

Love has a tendency to fade; to tuck in the loose ends; close the book; move on without a second glance. This is my hello. This is my goodness. Perhaps I don't stress this enough and I don't take the time of day to tell you how much I love you and need you in my life like I really do. But it will never change. The way that it has never changed. But I'll remember those moments for evermore. As the days where nothing had changed at all. So don't give it up for a last resort. Don't give me up. If you're willing to forgive me, nothing can tear us apart. Because I'm never going to give you up.


I am only human. Sometimes I hurt others along the way. And I know I have hurt you, you have hurt me too. I'll take you for who you are, If you take me for everything. And do it all over again. It has been you from the start and I will end my days with you by my side. I'm sure you have heard it from others. They will promise you everything that you desire because they too are humans, and we thrive for what we think is right; what we want. I can take it. You not being here with me now. I can survive. Cause I don't shine if you don't shine. In the end, we'll find ourselves together. I need you to come back to me somehow.


Whispers in the darkened areas of our world never fade away from my memory. Promises of forever and eternity haven't left my soul. Won't you give me a second chance, and I'll be here forever. And because you are that, it seems you've grown to be a part of my heart. Without you in it, it seems empty and dull, yearning for the passion that we once shared. I have no beat. No heartbeat. And when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home. Let me learn to be free again. I don't want to forget anything about you. I need you as you are. Breathe me in sweetheart.


And perhaps I can find someone who will replenish the hole you have left in me. And it's still so hard to be who you are, but you've come this far with a broken heart. You don't even see me do you? That everything I've ever had is nothing compared to what I've lost. You can't judge me in the choices I've made because they make me who I am. You make me who I am. Don't have the power but we never say never. Look, I haven't worn this sweater in like forever. I'm not sorry. I will not take back any moment with you for anything. I won't apologize. If I can't change for someone else, know that I will only change for you. Give me up for your happiness.


I love you. Don't turn away. Don't look as if I've never said it. I have. And then you come and ease the pain. I don't want to lose this feeling. I need you to get me there. You don't need me. Yes I do! You are my first everything. Baby just look me in the eyes and tell me you can't feel it. So here we go. Let's just dance. Teach my soul to take this chance. I'm the clown with no smile. I want to see you laugh again. I'm the one for you. I always have been. There is no other my dear. No one else for me and no one else for you. We fit. I will never feel what I feel when I am next to you.



You don't realize who I am to you. Wake up and open your eyes. What do you see? Is it me? And even when you're not there, I wake up to you. When I stand on these tables before you, you will know what all this time was for. You weren't here this summer. For some reason the mowed grass, glistening pools and the sunny days didn't seem to do anything for me. I miss the giggling we use to share. Is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine. It takes my breath away. A renewal of the things we have lost will come in play and the tragedies we have gained will falter. You're the only thing my heart, soul and entire being yearns for.


Won't you come save me? Won't you be the hero that you have always been? I won't say that I miss you to try and win back what I lost. I won't pretend that we never happened. Fill my heart with song. Let me sing for evermore. Both of us are missing and we'll find each other soon enough. You say you want a friend and I'm sorry I haven't been the best one. Call my name and I'll be there. I want to hear your voice again. I look around but it's you I can't replace. I feel so cold and I long for your embrace. Making promises to break is not what I always intend to do. Not when I have you. Not when I need you.


I'm not lost. I'm just wandering. Why don't we talk anymore? What happened to us? How I gave you my heart. I gave it all to you. Now there's no way that I can lose. Forget but not forgive. You have something that belongs to me. Give it back. I can't do that. I don't want to leave you. We have to see each other. Come knocking on my door whenever you want to. I know I've felt like this before. But now I'm feeling it even more. I heard our song last night. You know, the sweet, slow, long one. The one where he is crying in the end. Make him stop crying. Make me stop crying. Call me sometime.


My name is Blair Waldorf. I know. My name is Nathaniel Archibald. I know. Two strangers learn to fall in love again. I get the joy of rediscovering you. I need your help. Maybe I'm a fool when I think about it. How two people can just fall out of love; it's impossible. Can I tell you I love you? Because I do. How am I supposed to live without you? How am I supposed to carry on? When all that I've been livin' for is gone. I will teach you to love again if you teach me it's okay to. And I'll say it over and over again. I'll do it for the rest of my life if I have to. I miss you so much. I hope you're alright.


I don't need to search for perfection. I know it doesn't exist. With me you'll live, laugh and love. When you love someone, you need to trust that they love you back. Look at the stars, look how they shine for you. And if you love me today, I can guarantee I will love you even more by tomorrow morning. One day I want to look back at everything and tell you the exact moment I fell in love with you again. What I know is that everything I touch just turns to dust. And I have been wrong before. You make me someone that I am proud to be. I don't need to compromise who I am to make my self fit with you. I belong in your arms.


We are so much more than mere words on paper. We are epic. And all I need to do is wait for all of it to come back to me when you do. Put me on a plane and fly me to anywhere with you. Because you will return the certainty, the understanding and the knowledge of feeling I am more of a person in your eyes than in anyone else's. I will continue to cherish the memories that lull me to sleep every night. And before I say goodbye, I want you to know I am not forgetting you. Never. Don't you trick me out. We shall overcome. My door will remain open for you because I am your shelter and I will protect you like I was meant to. Always and forever.

I'll be doing my best. I'll see you soon.

It has only just begun....
