The Way
Song by Clay Aiken
There's something about the way you look tonight
There's something about the way that I can't take my eyes off you
There's something about the way your lips invite
Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when you're around
And I want you be mine
And if you need a reason why
He sat there looking at all the dancing people in front of him, looking so happy, and him feeling quite the opposite. It wasn't like he didn't get any offers, no he got plenty. But he politely turned them down because not one of those girls was her. Her…
He couldn't take it anymore. He got up and headed for the entrance door but froze stock still!
Standing at the doorway was…her.
She looked so beautiful. She wore a sky blue dress that fitted her curves perfectly. Her hair down, in soft, natural curls. Her makeup, just right. Her eyes, caramel brown. Her lips…oh her lips! They looked so beautiful and supple with a hint of gloss…perfect!
'Do something', he told himself.
So he rounded up all his courage and nervously walked over to her. She looked up at him with bright eyes as he held out his hand. But before he could utter a word, she had softly placed her hand on his, accepting it. Knowing.
It's in the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me
The was that I want you tonight
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh you feel it in the way
As they started moving together, it felt like their bodies were one. It was like they already knew what the other was going to do next. Their every step was perfect.
God I want her. Looking back at all those years, she had talked to him about liking other boys. He didn't pay much attention to it. He thought it would just pass but when she actually started going out, that's when the green eyed monster made its appearance. Once he had gotten so jealous he had to force himself to leave the room.
God I want her so bad. She knows me like no other person does. She knows when I need comforting, space, or just a little laugh. I would trust her with my life…and heart.
You have been staring at her for to long! Say something! He opened his mouth but only to find a soft, elegant finger being placed on it, hushing him. I think she knows, maybe I'll tell her later…
I can't put my finger on
Just what it is that makes me
Love you, you baby
So don't ask me to describe
I get all chocked up inside
Just thinking about the way
There were so many reasons why he loved her. He used to get so emotional just thinking about her and even now he does. He couldn't take it anymore, he had to tell her. He opened his mouth but stopped, this time, not by a finger being placed on his lips, but rather the smile that was forming on her lips.
There's something about the way you look tonight
There is nothing more to say that I feel it in the way.
He didn't need to say anything else. She knew right from the beginning and he saw in her eyes that she felt the same way. He smiled down at her, leaned in and kissed her. It was like how he had imagined it and more…much…much more.
They were meant to be for each other and both of them knew this…
In their way.
THE END
