This freeverse poem is written for LittleMissWesley's "Freeverse Song Challenge." My pairing is Cho/Oliver, and my song was James Blunt's "Stay the Night."
The sun is o u t
and I'm feeling pretty great
and the team, the team is gathered around
and the tents are on the [ g r o u n d ]
We're just a bunch of kids
out to have
fun
The twins are on the move
and I hear somebody laugh
(you)
and before I even realize
you're sitting in my tent,
laughing with the rest of us
And for a little while
We're just a bunch of kids
out to have
fun
A war isn't beginning
A battle won't be fought
We won't lose our [ f r i e n d s ]
We're just a bunch of kids
out to have
fun
Your hair falls [ a c r o s s ] your face
and the d i s t a n c e is too great
for me to reach out
and brushbrush it away
I wonder if you'd let me
just for a
moment
be the one to save you.
You still look so sad
I can see it in your [ e y e s ]
just for a
moment
I want to be the one to save you
from the loss.
And we're just a bunch of kids
out to have
fun
The World Cup starts tomorrow
I ask who you want to win
of course you root for Scotland
I mean, what did I expect?
and the others start to leave
but you stay here with me
talking&talking&talking
until the stars begin to fade
eclipsed by light from the
[ s u n ]
And more than ever now,
we're just a bunch -
just a few -
no, just two
kids
and we want to have
fun
