Shes Everything
I own nothing
It's getting closer to Mimi's birthday and Roger decided to do something special for her.He has been working on a song for the past week and a half and everytime Mimi would ask if she could listen to what he had so far he would say no.
It was finally Mimi's birthday and she lightly knocked on the door to Mark and Rogers loft. Mark opened the door, a bowl of cerel in his hands and lets her in.
"Happy Birthday" he says to her.
"thanks" she replies as she tip-toes into Rogers room.She looks over at his sleeping figure on the bed. She smiles for a moment and walks over to him,gently laying down beside him. She props herself up on her elbow. Mimi watches Roger sleep for a few minutes, smiling to herself. He looks so peaceful. She thinks to herself. After another minute, she leans in and gently kisses Roger on the lips to wake him up.
"Wake uuuuuup" she whispers against his lips
"mmmmm" Roger moans as he begins to wake up. He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her so that she is laying on top of him, and continues to kiss her.
"Good morning" Mimi says smiling as he opens his eyes.
"Happy Birthday" he whispers.
A few hours later,after everyone had said happy birthday and everyone had gone out to celebrate, Roger pulled Mimi up to the roof with him for her birthday gift.They both sit down and he picks up his guitar, but before he begins to play he warns her.
"I thought I would try something new.tell me if you dont like it, okay?"
"alright"
And so he began
She's
a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks
great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I
want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find
a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody
As Mimi listens to the song,she could feel the tears burning behind her eyes as she watches and listenes to the man she loves with all her heart so intently.
And
she's everything I ever wanted She's a Saturday out on the town She's the giver I wish I could be And she's everything I ever wanted
She's
a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowing
She's a
soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm
conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter
when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving
And everything I need
I talk
about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to
me
And a church girl on
Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its
Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss
me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda
tipsy
And the stealer of
the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's
mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and
praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that
I'm playing
And
everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause
she's everything to me
By now, the tears are freely falling down her face.
And she's everything I ever
wanted Everything I ever wanted
She's
the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that
wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday
that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That
I'd lay down my own life for
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah
she's everything to me
And
everything I need
She's everything to me
When he finishes, he takes his hand in hers and pulls her up to stand with him. "After April dies,I was miserable," he begins,"I thought I would never be happy again.Then you knocked on my door, asking if I had a light. Mimi, I knew from that moment that I was in love with you.Each day we spend together,I only love you more. You showed me how to be happy and smile again.You showed me how to laugh and have fun, now its my turn. Let me show you that I want us to be together for the rest of our lives." Roger bends down and gets on one knee. It is now that he pulls out a small velvet box from his jacket pocket. Mimi puts her hand over her mouth and gasps.
"Oh my god" she whispers to herself as tears begin falling from her eyes.
"Mimi Garcia Marquez,will you marry me?" Roger asks looking the love of his life in the eye.
"Oh my-YES! Of course! Yes! I'll marry you" She replies as he slips the ring into her finger, stands up and lifts her by the waist,spinning her around in circles, with their foreheads touching.When he finally does put her down, they kiss each other with so much passion and love,Mimi is conviced their were fireworks.
