Just as I started to walk past him he started his next song and at first I didn't recognize it because my heart was already beating so hard. That changed as soon as I heard him start to sing the song though. I relized that it was "I Cross My Heart" by George Strait. I messed up at that point and looked at Dimitri when I was directly in front of him. He walked to the end of the stage and stood there looking directly at me. I couldn't move or look away from his eyes as he sang this song to me.

Our love is unconditionalWe knew it from the startI see it in your eyesYou can feel it from my heartFrom here on afterLet's stay the way we are right nowAnd share all the love and laughterThat a lifetime will allow

CHORUS: I cross my heartAnd promise toGive all I've got to giveTo make all your dreams come trueIn all the worldYou'll never findA love as true as mine

It was like there was no one else in the world but the two of us. I couldn't see anyone else at this point just the man that I loved singing about all of my feelings towards him. I started to get hope that maybe he was finally going to let me into his life and heart again. Of course my brain spoke up and said that I can't do that again I'll just get hurt.

You will always be the miracleThat makes my life completeAnd as long as there's a breath in meI'll make yours just as sweetAs we look into the futureIt's as far as we can seeSo let's make each tomorrowBe the best that it can be

I started to cry right then and there no matter how much I keep telling myself that I'm not going to cry where anyone can see me I could handle it anymore. There is a war going on inside of me my heart telling me that Dimitri still loves me and that everything is going to work out but my head telling me that he doesn't love me anymore and repeating that line to me "love fades, mine has". I don't know how much more of this I can take I don't know what to believe anymore.

CHORUS: I cross my heartAnd promise toGive all I've got to giveTo make all your dreams come trueIn all the worldYou'll never findA love as true as mine

And if along the way we find a dayIt starts to stormYou've got the promise of my loveTo keep you warmIn all the worldYou'll never findA love as true as mineA love as true as mine

Dimitri finished the song while still looking directly into my eyes. He put the mic down and started to walk off the stage down steps that led him right into my excape route. I wasn't sure what to do I still hadn't got over the war going on between my head and my heart. Dimitri was standing directly infront of me at this point. I was prepared to just run when he placed his hand on my cheek.

My knees went weak at this point the only thing that stopped me from falling to the floor was Dimitri's quick relexes. He wrapped his arms around me and brought be to his chest. I couldn't take it any more I started to sob. I hit him on his chest a couple of times and saying "How could you do this to me. You promised to always be there for me. You said you would never leave me and at the first sign of things getting tough you did just that" He just rubbed my back and was telling me to just let it all out. When my sobs turned to silent tears he started to talk.

"I am so sorry Roza. I just kept thinking of all the things I did to you and I couldn't stand it. I felt like I was a terrible person. All I could think was I had let you down in the worst way possible. I had promised to protect you and never let anyone hurt you and I ended up being the one to hurt you. I couldn't stand that it made me feel as if I didn't deserve you, that I'm not good enough for you. I wanted you to have someone that could treat you better and that deserved you. Someone that could make you happy and was right for you…" At this point I decided I had heard enough so I interrupted him. "How dare you think that you can decide what or who is right for me. How dare you decide what makes me happy and what I deserve. The only person that can make me happy is you. I need you comrade I always have. I love you, you're the only person that can make me happy and that I want to be with." I was practicly yelling at this point. The only reason I didn't keep going was because Dimitri decided that I shouldn't be yelling in public and shut me up in the only way he could; he kissed me. "I love you Roza. That's why I brought The Guardian out of retirement. I relized that you weren't going to give up on us no matter how ashamed I was of what I had done. I relize that you don't hold any of it against me like you had said that day what happened wasn't my fault I wasn't myself. It was the monster that had control of my body but that monster left when you and Lissa brought my soul back. I know now that I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you Roza. You're my other half, my soul mate and my life isn't complete without you in it. Roza will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

After everything he said I couldn't help but start crying again. "Roza, what's wrong? I'm not too late am I? You didn't move on yet right? Its alright if you have I wont hold it against you I did say some really bad things to you that I will always regret."

I shook my head and kissed him afterwards all I could say was "Of course I haven't moved on you fool. As I said you're the only person that can ever make me happy." He just looked so confused and it was cute. "Then why are you crying my Roza." "I'm just so happy Comrade of course I'll marry you. I wouldn't love anything more than to be your wife." Dimitri pulled me into his arms and swung me around when he set me down he kissed me again. I couldn't help but think Lissa was right all along. I was happy that I came tonight and didn't regret letting her talk me into coming or wearing what I was. I really should listen to her more often when she promises something she always comes through and she said I would have a great time and be glad I came out I just wonder how much she knew before we left.
