7 years ago. The summer it all happened...
The following week I returned to the spot near the lake and began sketching. I told my friend Rachel about the mysterious guy. She yelled at me for not getting his
name and number. I just laughed. I'm not the type of person to go crazy over a guy that I just met and only talked to for like 5 minutes. (ok well, I couldn't stop thinking
about him but that's besides the point.) I didn't want to rush anything. And I only just met him once, I mean, it's not like he's the one, right? I mean I'll probably never
see him again, right? These thoughts were in my head as I walked to the same spot I met the guy the week before. Sadly, neither he nor his guitar was there. So, I began
to draw. There was an old lady on a boat sitting with her husband. The way they looked at each other was amazing. Anyone could see how much they cared about each
other. As the minutes went by, I began drawing the couple. I was so engrossed in my drawing that I did not even notice that the same mysterious guy from last week
walked up behind me. "Wow, you're really good" I jumped and he chuckled. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He was still wearing the same sunglasses from last week.
"It's OK," I said, "Can I ask you something?" "Sure." "Why do you always wear sunglasses, it's not even sunny." "No reason" he replied. He looked cautiously around and
took them off and revealed gorgeous chocolate colored eyes. I looked away and began to stare at my shoes. Let's just say, I'm a bit shy. Haha. "So," the guy started, "I
know you're working right now, but would you mind drawing me sometime?" I couldn't resist his smile. "Sure, "I said, "But I need to know one thing. What's your name?"
"I'm Nick. Uh, I mean Nick's my middle name. My first name is... Paul! Yeah Paul, and my middle name is Nick. So yeah, no one calls me Nick, because my name is Paul but
my middle is- "Ok," I interrupted him. "I'm Sara." I smiled and he shook my hand. I laughed at his formality. "I can actually draw you right now if you want." "Perfect. So
boss, how should I sit?" I giggled and told him to sit on a tree trunk and I sat across from him. We were so close that our knees almost touched. I pulled out a new sheet of
paper and began drawing. I started my drawing with everything except his face. I drew his converse, tight jeans, stripped T-shirt, and dog tag necklace. Slowly, I made my
way to his face and tried to keep myself from looking into his eyes that I could feel were looking straight at me. I carefully drew the shape of his perfect lips and shaded in
the right places. I followed with his nose, ears, and freckles, hair, and then realized that I was left with his eyes. As soon as I looked into his eyes, I almost dropped my
pencil. It was as if the eyes had some strong power. I felt as if they were penetrating into my face but I couldn't look away. I was mesmerized. When I finally finished the
drawing after what seemed like hours, I was surprised that "Paul" seemed patient. He didn't groan or fidget. In fact, he was a perfect model. I put my pencil down and
called him over. "It's done." I was always self-conscious about my art work. I never have even shown my sketchbook to my friends. But with "Paul" it felt different. "It's
amazing," He whispered. He studied the drawing for a good ten minutes. "Thank you so much." I rolled up the drawing and gave it to him. We both moved towards the lake
and starred at the water. "So Sara, about that song you were playing on the guitar last week, can I sing it for you?" "that would be great, sure. And I promise you this time
I wont' interrupt you." "Haha, ok, you better not." He joked. He looked right back at my eyes and started singing,
They come and go but they don't know
That you are my beautiful
I try to come closer with you
But they all say we won't make it through
But I'll be there forever
You will see that it's better
All our hopes and our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I'll be right there for you 'til the end
The end of time
Please be mine
I'm in and out of love with you
Trying to find if it's really true
oh no no no no
How can I prove my love
If they all think I'm not good enough
But I'll be there forever
You will see that it's better
All our hopes and our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I will be right there for you 'til the end
The end of time
Please be mine
I can't stop the rain from falling
Can't stop my heart from calling you
It's calling you
I can't stop the rain from falling
Can't stop my heart from calling you
It's calling you
I can't stop the rain from falling
Can't stop my heart from calling you
It's calling you
But I'll be there forever
You will see that it's better
All our hopes and our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I will be right there for you 'til the end
The end of time
Please be mine
He ended on a strong note. I could hardly speak. "I remember," I whispered.
