Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
After the miscarriage, things got a little rocky. I was super emotional. Craig was keeping his feelings bottled up. And we were both still hurting from the loss of our child. So we argued more. Picked more fights. We would go days without talking, and I would usually lay around crying those days. My roommate would try and be there for me, but she had no idea what was going on.
For awhile during those rocky months, I thought me and Craig weren't going to make it, which was the icing on top of my emotional wreck. That hurt me to even think like that, but it felt like that at moments. After a particularly bad fight about our relationship, Craig stormed out of my room. I dropped to the floor crying. I was going to lose him. I was going to lose the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I was going to lose my best friend and my love. I didn't want that. I wouldn't let that happen. I threw on Craig's U of T hoodie, and raced across the campus, in the rain, to his dorm. I pounded on the door. Craig opened it looking tired, upset, and surprised. I was standing in front of him, soaking wet, with tears rolling down my face. I looked at him.
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
"I'm so sorry Craig." And then I threw myself at him and he held me close, repeating i'm sorry into my shoulder. We backed into his room and locked the door. We made love that day. And it was the greatest make up of my life. That day we both realized another form of fate. It always rained on important days for us. The rain was like our security.
After that, we made a pact. We would celebrate together, every year, the day our child would have been born. And we talk about what it would have been like. And we laugh and we cry. And we let ourselves feel.
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
So here we are. Graduation day. We're still together, happier than ever, even though we over came so much. These last 5 years have been the craziest and most unforgettable times of my life. And as I walk across this stage with Craig next to me, I know my life is going to great. As the dean yells "Congratulations Class of 2011!" I throw my hat up and kiss Craig. We did it.
As all the families are taking pictures, Craig pulls me behind the bleachers and gives me a kiss. He smiles so big at me, I can't help but smile back. he then reaches in his pocket and drops to one knee. I immediately gasp. He didn't give a speech or confess his love. He simply looked at me, holding my left hand, and said "Will you marry me?" I cry a little, happily accepting his proposal. He swung me around and we shared a kiss. I was in heaven.
Later on that night, we all went out for drinks to celebrate. I was showing off my ring to the girls and Marco, while the guys clapped Craig on the back and shouting out congrats. They even put a little black hat on Craig, and a mini veil on me. Just then, a slow song came on, stopping me and Craig in our tracks. It was our song. We never officially declared it our song, but we both just knew no other song would work. We went to the make shift dance floor and started to slowly rock together. Bright Eyes made our hearts come together, and they were melting together right now. And there was no other place i'd rather be.
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself, to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before
Me and Craig... we were a love story. And my heart never loved a story more than ever...
R&R. The song is "Dare You To Move" by Switchfoot. I hope you all liked this! :)
