"To You I Belong"
Sora Takenouchi sat on her pale pink covered bed and stared at the picture on her bedside. The air was warm outside and the sun was shining, but she stayed inside staring at that picture of herself and her friend Matt Ishida when they were only twelve.
Now, they were split. He was in America. She was in Obadiah. They were two worlds apart. Still, he didn't know about the love for him that was locked away in her heart. After all these years, he still hadn't realized he had the power to unlock her heart and set that love free.
rain fell down,
you were there
I cried for you when i
hurt my hand
storm a rushin in
wind was howlin
I called for you
you were there
Stuck. She had been stuck in the middle. Sora had been dating Tai, Matt's best friend and secretly had liked him. She tried to break up with Tai, but found out Matt only liked her as a "friend".
A friend. Sora sighed and looked outside. It was a beautiful day. Matt was probably signing autographs and loving other girls…not her. Of course not her.
when ever dark turn to night
and though the dream seem this long
in the day light forever
to you i belong
beside the sea
where the waves go
i drew a heart for you
in the sand
in fields were streams turn to rivers
i ran to you
you were there
when ever dark turns to night
and though the dreams seam this long
in the daylight forever
to you i belong
To see him so happy made her smile. He always accepted awards and never forgot to thank his "friends". Tai, Mimi, Tk, Kari, Izzy, Joe….Sora.
The picture of Matt holding Sora's hand high up in the air after she won a soccer match. The picture was taken from very close. His eyes sparkled the same childish way now as they did then. His blonde hair was still blonde and his perfect smile was still…well, perfect.
He had always been there for her. Matt had been there when she broke her arm on the gymnasium in fifth grade. And then, when she was fourteen and home alone, he walked through the rain to keep her company.
Then, on Valentines day when she was fifteen, they went to the beach for a dance and she stopped. Sora drew a heart in the sand and wrote M.I. Matt had smiled at her and she had blushed before Tai came to ruin the moment.
Camping in the woods a year ago, they had goofed around in the streams by the river. Those were memories that would stay in her heart forevermore. Matt Ishida…the love of her lifetime.
i ran to you
you were there
when ever dark turns to night
and though the dreams seam this long
in the daylight forever
to you i belong
to you i belong
to you i belong
