Loren Tate sat down on the black piano seat and took out her song book.
She found the one she wanted to play, opened the piano lid, and stretched her fingers across the keys. She hasn't played piano in two months and the beautiful masterpiece was just haunting her from the corner of Eddie and her's penthouse living room.
The sound of her song book slapping on the floor startled her and she sighed picking it up off of the hard wood floors.
She bit her lip searching for her song again. Finally, she found it and set it on the little slot to hold paper so it wouldn't fall again. She finally found the right key to start with and after all the interruptions, she started to play,
"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway"
It was a song she had written a long time ago that was stuck in her head. It was so emotional to her. It was about her stage fright, and being afraid of everyone hating her music. She felt so tired of it she broke out of her shell and said 'to hell what they think!' and thus Loren Tate, pop princess, was born.
The thing that stuck to her most was 'And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all.'
Those lyrics meant so much to her.
She jumped when someone started clapping from behind her.
"You are amazing." Eddie, her loving boyfriend of five years, said kissing her on the cheek.
"Thank you, baby. I love you." She said as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you, too. Do you think you could get ready?" He asked looking down at her light blue pajama's, "I want to do something today."
"Okay," She smiled leaning into him, "Where to?"
"I don't know. We'll see." He said smiling.
"Okay, I'll be back in 30." She said getting up and walking into their room.
Loren came back in around the same time she said she would.
She looked stunning in her Blue ruffle tank top and blue jean shorts with black booties.
(A/N: If you don't know what booties are I'd suggest you google them. They sounded like something for babies to me, They aren't.)
"You look beautiful, as always." Eddie said lacing his fingers with hers.
"Thank you. You look handsome yourself." She said looking him up and down. He was wearing a red short sleeve shirt and denim jeans.
"Alright lets go." He smiled.
After about 15 minuets they were at their secret spot that they shared.
She smiled at him. He loved her smile.
"So, what are we doing here?" She asked with a curious glance. Not that she minded. This was her favorite thing to do.
"We, are going to have a picnic and just sit around all day." He said smiling as she took off her sunglasses and baseball cap, he did the same.
"That is my favorite thing to do." She said laying down on the red blanket that was previously laid out for them.
He grabbed her hand and smiled. He love this girl, and he was going to marry her.
"Can you play me something?" She asked turning to face him.
He smiled, "Yeah."
He grabbed the guitar that was casually leaning against a tree and started to play one of his favorite songs,
"Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you somethin', an original
'Cause it doesn't seem merely a sample
And I can't help but stare, 'cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now (please show me, baby)
I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
You are, you are the love of my life [x10]
Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are
You are, you are the love of my life [x8]
Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are, you are the love of my life [x16]"
"That's amazing." Loren looked at Eddie in awe.
"I love you, Loren."
"I love you too."
"We've been dating for 5 years. I love you so much, Loren. I love how alive you are when your playing a song, or how your eyes sparkle when you see me. Or how you eat like nothing I've ever seen before. I love how you aren't afraid to be you. I love how beautiful you are. I love how you're so witty and smart. I love how genuine you are. I love how you love me," Eddie said while Loren was beginning to cry, "And I was wondering... would you consider marring me?" Eddie finished with a smile.
Loren went over and hugged him.
"I could consider it, I guess." Loren said smiling through her tears.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
And they sat there, hugging for the longest time.
Those two songs were 'Let It Go' by Idina Menzel and 'Mirrors' by Justin Timberlake.
Thanks guys hope you liked it :)
