Only in March

Based loosely on "Sweet November," Austin and Ally meet when they most need each other. Austin is caught up in the big game of fame and Hollywood and celebrity; Ally needs a new 'project.'

Day 138

I knew her;

But only in March.

I knew her;

But only in March.

It was cold the day I met her;

Her disposition, sunny as the sky.

Loved her from the day I met her;

I will never wonder why.

She could see through right my facade;

She could see right to my heart.

She knew my true potential;

Her eyes, they pinned me like a dart.

I knew her too;

But only in March.

Yeah, I knew her too;

But only in March.

Her heart was open to the world;

She never judged immediately.

Her mind was open to the world;

She faced the world, courageously.

She said she loved me from the start;

She loved my flaws and all my fears.

She knew my anger and my darkness;

She saw my smiles and my tears.

I loved her too;

But only in March.

Yeah, I loved her too;

But only in March.

And now I'm left here without her;

This world is dark and it is bleak.

But I will fight and I will search;

I will show her I'm not weak.

She showed me truth and the right way;

To live this life the way we should.

She showed me hope and humanity;

In the only way she could.

I knew her;

But only in March.

Yeah, I knew her;

But only in March.

And now I'm left here without her;

This world is dark and it is bleak.

I may have known her only in March;

But I will continue loving her;

And because of her;

That love is not weak.

I looked out to the crowd and held my breath. I tried, but failed, to control how badly my hands started to shake, now that I didn't have to play the guitar. Instead, I focused on a single face in front of me.

She smiled and nodded, completely ignoring the tears pouring from her eyes. She mouthed the word 'Amazing,' to me and I smiled back. Her reaction was the most important to me; it was her opinion on the song that mattered more than anyone else's.

Before I could say anything further, a thunderous applause broke out in the small venue. It wasn't the kind of applause that starts small and builds up, either. This was sudden. And it was loud.

Tearing my gaze from her's, I looked out to the audience once more and noticed how many smiles there were. My smile grew. My fear dissipated. My heart soared.

She was right. She had been right all along.

Of course, if I had known that then (then being way back in March), I wouldn't have needed her. Or gotten to know her. Or loved her…
