This song speaks to parts of me I wish did not exist. This is one of my favorite songs and yet it never fails to make tears come to my eyes. December of 2008 I found love for the first time and january of 2010 I lost it. Taylors songs almost always seem like they are about my life, I was 15 when I first fell in love and I gave up everything I had, just to end up crying with my red headed best friend. Back to December is just one of those songs you can relate to when you made a mistake, even if it was with a best friend. I know I regret plenty of things but this song helps me to forgive myself.
