A/N - I blame Annie for this. It's not my fault. Any complaints about sappiness need to be directed to her. Never would have done this on my own. I don't even like country music.
You Look So Good In Love
This has to be one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever attended. I never would have suspected Ranger Manoso of truly having a soft spot for Stephanie if I hadn't seen it for myself. So much for thinking that he was just using her. I think he surprised a lot of other people as well, judging by the looks on everyone's face.
She began walking down the aisle on her Father's arm and I couldn't seem to take my eyes off of her. As I turned towards the back of the church, with the rest of the congregation, I could understand his fascination.
Oh how you sparkle, and oh how you shine.
That flush on your cheeks is more than the wine.
And he must do something that I didn't do.
Whatever he's doing, it looks good on you.
The candles that are lighting the chapel don't glow as much as she does. I have never seen her look so radiant. There is a look in her eyes that I was never able to put there. Believe me, I tried. I just couldn't seem to give her whatever it was that she needed.
You look so good in love.
You want him, that's easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me.
There has always been something between them. From the first day they met. It's tangible. Even here, the chapel crackles with the energy they put off when they're in the same room.
I've known her practically all her life. I was so many firsts for her that people automatically assumed we would spend the rest of our lives together. I even started to believe we would get married. I know she loves me. She told me so herself. So why doesn't she want me anymore? She did at one time. What happened to change that?
He must have stolen some stars from the sky,
And gave them to you to wear in your eyes.
I had my chances, but I set you free.
And now I wonder why I couldn't see.
For a couple of years we did the back and forth thing. She'd get mad and leave or I'd get mad and go undercover for a few of weeks. We always got back together though. Even if we didn't really talk about what the problem was. She told me that last time that we were in an 'unhealthy pattern of behavior'. I wonder where she got that phrase, because it doesn't really sound like something she would say. Did he tell her that? It sounds like something he would say.
Watching them walk back down the aisle is almost painful. Watching her blue eyes sparkle with joy and love. Knowing it's for someone else. It's almost more than I can bear, but bear it I will. It was my own stupidity that left the door open for someone else to walk through.
You look so good in love.
You want him, that's easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me
As I make my way through the reception line I can see that he truly does make her happy. She makes him happy as well. They were meant for each other. Now I just have to figure out what I am going to say when I finally get to them. The reception line isn't long enough. I can stare down the barrel of a gun without breaking a sweat, but this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
"Darling I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you, but tonight your beauty is shining through. And I never took the time to let you know, so before he takes you away please let me say. You look so good in love. You want him, that's easy to see. You look so good in love. And I wish you still wanted me."
Once again I must reiterate that my muse requires reviews. She's a greedy wench but what are you going to do.
