The Only Exception

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.

"Daddy, why are you crying?"

"You're mother and I have decided that we aren't going to be together anymore."

"Why are you leaving me, daddy?"

"If it was my choice, I would stay."

And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

"Sonny, I want to have a serious discussion with you."

"Yeah Mom, what's up?"

"When I decided to marry your father, I was young and stupid. I want a better life for you. You're getting to that age where you will be dating boys, and I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did."

"I won't, because I'm not planning to date. It's too dangerous. I don't want my heart broken like yours."

Well, darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

"Oh my gosh, I know you! You're, you're!"

"Him? Chad Dylan Cooper."

"You're Mackenzie on Mackenzie Falls!"

"And apparently, you're Madge!"

"Yes! No, Madge is my waitress character and all of this belongs to Madge, too! Hi, I'm Sonny"

Maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.

"James, I'm breaking up with you!"

"Come on, Sonny, we have something."

"And, apparently, so do you and Tawni!"

"Come on, don't be like this."

"Get out!"

And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I've sworn to myself
that I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

"Come on, Sonny, go to the party tonight!"

"No thank you!"

"There will be cute boys!"

"Tawni, that is precisely why I'm not going."

Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Chad."

"Yes?"

"I like you!"

"Well I like you too!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Fine!"

"Great!"

I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning
when you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

"Chad, I'm just so scared."

"Of what, Sonshine?"

"That you will leave me."

"Sonny, I'm never going to leave you."

"Prove it."

"Fine I will"

And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

Chad grabbed my hand and bent down on one knee.

"Allison Sonny Munroe, I love you with all my heart, and I know that you have been hurt in the past, but I want to be the one exception in your life. The only exception. And, I want you to be my wife. So, Sonshine, will you marry me?" He pulled a beautiful diamond ring out of his pocket. I felt a single tear slide down my cheek.

"How could I say no to my only exception?" I grabbed him around the neck and pulled him into a passionate hug. I loved Chad. Ever since I first met him, I knew he was the one, and now I had him all to myself. The one person who would show me true love, and the one person to be the exception in my life. My only exception.


I know, it's short and simple, but I hope you liked it! R&R

Love, Twipi :D
