Perfect For Me
As I clocked out of Newton's Sporting Goods, I waved at Mrs. Newton heading out the door and headed towards my truck. I saw a paper taped to my windshield. I approached my truck with a bit more caution. As I untaped it from my windshield and couldn't tell who it was from. It simply said 'Open the glove box'. I opened the driver side door and climbed in. I began to panic. I tried taking some deep breaths telling myself it wasn't from him or one of them. I shakily open the glove box, I pull out a homemade CD with the same writing on the cover that said 'Play me and drive home'. I popped the CD into the CD player and pressed play as I began to start the car.
You sit in the bathroom and you paint your toes
I sit on the bed right now and I sing you a song
It's not always easy, but somehow our love stays strong
If I can make you happy, then this is where I belong
(Chorus)
And I'd just like to say
I thank god that you're here with me
And I know you too well to say that you're perfect
But you'll see, oh my sweet love, you're perfect for me
I immediately begin to smile. All the doubt of who sent this is washed away. I laugh at myself for even panicking about it. It's been three years since they - no he - took all my happiness with them. But today was different and I could feel it. Especially since this was the first time I'd thought about them without crying. I kept on smiling as I pulled out of Newton's.
I know all your secrets, and you know all of mine
You're always here to hold me up when I'm losing my mind
I wish that I was stronger so that I had more to give
I'll share everything I have and we'll find a way to live
(Chorus)
Even after all this time, nothing else I ever find
In this whole wide world can shake me like you do
Its true that something so sublime that there aren't words yet to describe
The beauty of this life I've made with you
He always knows exactly what to say to make me feel like I'm the only one I thought to myself still grinning ear to ear. It may have taken me awhile to get to this spot in my life especially after what he did when he left. I'm near tears from all the happiness I'm feeling. I look up a road sign and realize that I'm half way home. I smile.
And I'd just like to say
I thank god that you're here with me
And I know you too well to say you're perfect
But you'll see oh my sweet love you're perfect for me
And I know you too well to say you're perfect
But you'll see of my sweet love you're perfect
Oh my love I swear you're perfect
Yes I promise, you're perfect for me
Right as it ends I'm pulling into my drive way, still laughing that I freaked over nothing. As I begin to get out of the car, a very familiar scent hits me like a wave. I smile as I walk up the steps to the house and I see a certain person standing in my living room with a whole bouquet of red roses and a super huge smile on his face. I run into his very familiar arms. Taking in his unique smell deeply. I look up at his handsome face and he smiles down at me and kisses my forehead before releasing me and getting down on one knee and asking, "Will you marry me?" He looks up at me with a huge smile on his face. I smile down at him with a tears running down my face. I nod my head meaning yes not trusting my voice. He puts the ring on my finger and picks me up kissing me and spinning me around in a circle. I laugh as he puts me down and bury my head in his chest. "Finally", I say smiling "My Jacob."
