Today, we took a walk up the street
We picked a flower, We climbed the hill above the lake
As Darian led her up the hill, she reflected on what had happened the day before.
Her friends had gotten mad are her and wouldn't talk to her. SHe had been so upset but Darian had reassured her and they had gone out with some friends and everything had been all right. Now it was the next day and he had called her and told her to meet him at the park.
"Finally you are here" he commented. He took her hand and they started to walk.
They followed the stream through the woods and started to climb a hill.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see." There were daisies everwhere and she asked if they could stop and
pick some. So they did. Finally they reached the top of the hill and Serena collapsed at the top. She sat up and cought her breath. it was beautiful. The trees, the lake, the peacefulness of it all.
"Oh, its wonderful."
And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away
She got up and ran at him. She gave him a hug and squeezed with all she had.
"Okay Serena, I'd like to breath." She let go, but then playfully hit him.
"In the words of the great Bugs Bunny, 'Of course you realize, this means war'"he commented.
She started to run but before she knew it they were both on the ground and he was on top of
her tickling her. She rolled him off and they both stayed laying on their backs staring at
the clouds.
"No really, Darian, Thanks." Then she grew really silent.
Darien said, "Penny for your thoughts."
And were we ever somewhere else
You know its hard to say that
Her mind had turned somewhere else. He started to get worried that she was going
to let yesterday's events ruin the day. He truned to look at her but she was smiling now.
I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky, Around the world
Your giving me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I never saw blue like that before
"Darian, what would I do without you? I mean, you are always there for me.
We know each other so well. I mean yesterday you wiped the tears from my eyes and today
you are doing your best to make me smile. You make me see things in another light, not
the bad way, but in a good way. And you always drop what you are doing and devote your
attention to me. What did I do to deserve you as my best friend?"
"Just lucky, I guess," he grinned as she hit him in the stomach again.
I cant believe, a month ago
I was alone, I didn't know you
I hadn't seen you or heard your name
They hadn't been friends all that long.
*Flashback
She was on the phone, three way with Melvin and Greg and they were planning
to go out the next night and see a movie. "Hey, lets invite that new guy Darian", Greg said.
"He seems like a pretty kewl guy,"added Melvin.
"I dont know, do we want him to come along? I don't know that much about him,"
Said Serena.
"Well, lets call him and we will see", said Greg.
So, they four way called him and worked out plans to go see a movie. The next
night they were at the movie Halloween H2O and Serena ended up sitting next to Darian.
Just to make a joke in front of Ray, who knew him more than Serena did, he pretended to
yawn and put his arm around Serena. They talked and began to realize that the other was
pretty funny and when Serena got scared she held on to Darian. It wasn't too suprising
that they began to talk on the phone everynight after that. *
And even now, Im so amazed
its like a dream, Its like a rainbow
It's like the rain
And some things are the way they are
And words just cant explain
But they had become best friends. No more were they strangers.
"Darian, do you think that I will ever find that special someone.
It seems like everyone else is."
"Yes, and you will settle down with him and have five kids."
"Five kids? A little much, huh? I want kids, I just dont think anyone will ever
love me."
"Hey," he said,"lets make a pact. If in 13 years we aren't married, then lets
marry each other."
"Okay, deal" she agreed.
He thought about it for awhile and then said, "I think that we would be a good
married couple."
"Me too."
I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky, Around the world
Your giving me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I never saw blue like that before
She smiled at him and they sat in silence, looking at the valley and lake down below.
They were content to just watch the sun set.
And it feels like now, and it feels like always
And it feels like coming home
"We will always be best friends, won't we Darian?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, you better not doubt it ever."
I love you , she thought to herself as she lay her head on his shoulder.
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
