To this day, this is one of the most well-written Taylor Swift songs. Like Scott Borchetta said when Swift first played a piano demo of this song for him, I don't think Swift realized what she had written. It's a mainly acoustic ballad, and reminiscences lost love. It's odd for a girl so young to sing about love in the seasoned way Swift does, but she manages to have a wise beyond her years outlook at love. This song and the other ballads on Swift's debut album were the basis of her epic ballads of later years, like "All Too Well", "Last Kiss" and "Dear John".
