A/N: Yeah, yeah. I know I should be working on my other fics, but I heard this song and inspiration struck. HOWEVER! I would like to thank xXPhantomXxXKadriahXx for introducing me to the song in the first place. It's May I by Trading Yesterday. Enjoy.
And there you stand open heart - open doors
Full of life with the world that's wanting more
But I can see when the lights starts to fade
The day is gone and your smile has gone away
You never held anything back. You were brutally honest, and I think that was part of the reason of loved you. No. I loved you for everything you were. I loved you for the way you talked, laughed. I loved the way you smiled in the morning when I first saw you, as you wiped the sand from your eyes.
Let me raise you up
Let me be your love
I'm being sappy, I know. If I were to phrase this any differently I'd sound like an idiot – though I'm pretty sure I do anyway. I think I've forgotten my purpose behind writing this…. Oh yeah, I remember now.
May I hold you
As you fall to sleep
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe
May I love you
May I be your shield
When no one can be found
May I lay you down
There's a ring in the package. It's for you… I wanted to ask you a question. So, I guess that's why I'm being sappy and cheesy and corny and altogether not myself. Well, that's me around you. No one else has that effect on me.
All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
to give you all that your heart needs the most.
Anyway, I wanted to ask… Will you marry me?
Let me raise you up
Let me be your love
Yeah, I know we're young yet, but…. I don't think that matters if two people are truly in love. And I'm in love with you, truly.
May I hold you
As you fall to sleep
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe
May I love you
May I be your shield
When no one can be found
May I lay you down
I know what you're thinking. You're probably wondering why the hell I'm asking you for this while we're still in school. But… I love you too much to wait.
All that's made me
Is all worth trading
Just to have one moment with you
So I will let go
All that I know
Knowing that you're here with me
For your love is changing me
Please reply soon, I don't think I can keep my cool very long before I come trying to find you. No, I don't mean to sound stalker-ish, I'm just desperate to know what you'll say.
May I hold you
As you fall to sleep
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe
May I love you
May I be your shield
When no one can be found
May I lay you down
Love, Adrian Cordawn
