You take her hand in yours, and as you do so you think how there is no other place you would rather be. She stares at you with those crystal blue eyes you love oh, so dearly. You're left with only your thoughts for a few moments as you rehearse what you're about to do in your head. You have been practising for this moment for weeks, and now is your time to do it. You spend another few moments ravishing the softness of her hand, gently caressing it with yours. You finally let go and make your way to the centre of the the room to get on with the task at hand, immediately missing her touch.
You're ready.
As the music starts, you focus on the beautiful blonde before you in the empty choir room, your heart caught in your throat. When the right part of the beautiful piano instrumental comes, you start singing.
For you, there'll be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right
You make your way through the song, not even attempting to hold back your tears anymore.
And I love you, I love you, I love you like never before
Like never before
Like never before
You only just manage to choke out the last few lines, feeling the heavy weight and truth behind those words. By the time you finish the song, you notice that she too has been crying. As she runs over to you, she wraps you in a tight embrace you never want to let go of. Everything else around you seems irrelevant.
The last words she whispered before she presses her lips to yours:
"I love you"
