Saving Forever For You
By: Pam Marks
He sighed as he plopped down on the gray and
white porch swing that his mom insisted on keeping. He curled up and put
his chin on his knees and wrapped his arms around his legs. It was Saturday
and he had no plans with his friends so he had decided to lie around the
house for the day and eat ice cream, his favorite food when he was depressed.
Which he had been very depressed lately. Ever since he had lost her, he
had not been himself. He knew that the others knew, but couldn't help it.
He had loved her and she left him with out a shred of concern.
It had been two months since she had dumped him
so shouldn't he be over her? Shouldn't he have three girls hanging on him
like the other guys at school? But she just wasn't any girl she was his
everything, his world. Now she was gone and he was alone, just like he
had always been.
I've never been so sure about any thing before
But this love I'm feeling gonna be a feeling I feel for ever more
Looking in your eyes tomorrow all I see
Long as there's forever baby
I will always be
He smiled as he remembered the first time he
had seen her. She had the cutest dress on and her smile lit up his soul
at first glance. How could she have dumped him? They had everything. They
had loved each other and everybody said that they were going to be together
forever. So why was she gone? They belonged together. He knew it.
So why didn't she? He felt a tear splash on his hands as he leaned back
against the arm of the swing.
Saving forever for you baby
You are the only one I'll ever give forever to
Love for a lifetime or two
Baby want to always stay together
So I'm saving forever for you
If only his friends could see him now. The mighty
Tommy Oliver, mighty unbreakable Tommy, and leader of the Power Rangers:
crying over a girl. He would never live it down. 'Rita and Zedd would get
a kick out of this.' he secretly thought to himself. He unconsciously ran
a hand through his long locks and leaned his forehead on his hand. He was
a skeptic. Knowing this, he just couldn't let Kimberly go. He didn't
know why. He had had other girlfriends in the past so why was she any different?
Why did it hurt so much?
You'll be my world
As long as there's world turning round
And you'll be my heaven
Until heavens all come falling down
Look in my heart love is all you'll see
Loving you forever
Living just to be
He sighed as he looked up at the cloudy
sky and smiled. It looked like it was going to rain and Kim had always
loved the rain. He weakly smiled as he remembered the afternoon that they
had played in the rain.
"Oh come on Kim give me the control!" Tommy meekly
said. "I don't want to watch soap operas!"
"Why not?! Their good and "The Young and The
Restless" is about to come on!" Kim playfully smiled.
Tommy stuck out his tongue and acted like he
was choking and fell off the couch. Kim laughed and bent over the side
and smirked "You are so over dramatic."
Tommy opened one eye "You think I should be an
actor? Maybe I can be on a soap as the ruthless man who has an affair with
the main characters wife."
Kim smacked him in the face with a pillow "You
win! No soaps! Ok Mr. Big Shot. What are we going to do now?" Kim said
as she crossed her arms.
"Well we could...play in the rain?" Tommy said
as he got a playful smirk on his face.
"Are you nuts Tommy Oliver? I think you have
finally lost it! Have Rita and Zedd been to visit you lately?"
"Why yes they have actually. We had a nice little
chat before I came over here, over a cup of coffee."
Kim shot him a get serious look as Tommy cracked
up. "Seriously Kim, why not? Come on! You know you have always wanted
to play in the rain."
Kim smiled "Not really. The thought never really
entered my head until now."
Tommy sat back and flipped open the TV guide,
"Fine we'll just watch TV; since you are too scared to get wet."
Kim scowled. "Scared! Who's scared? I'm not!"
Tommy smiled evilly to himself. "Really Kim it's
OK if you are. We all have to be scared of something. Well not me, but
you know; weak people like you."
Kim shot him a you are about to get it look and
replied, "Fine! You want to play in the rain Buster you got it! Come on!"
With that she quickly jumped of the couch and
walked out the door. Tommy smirked to himself as he followed. Kim stopped
at the first step and felt Tommy come up behind her. She stiffened and
rushed down the stairs, out into the pouring rain. Tommy smiled as he joined
her.
Kim smiled evilly as she picked up a handful
of mud and hurled it at Tommy. Tommy smiled and in mock rage said, "Oh
this means war Kim!"
With that he picked up a handful of the squashy
mud and hurled it at Kim. She laughed as they had an all out mud fight.
Some time later, the happy laughing couple reached
the back door of Kim's house and got under the shelter of the over hang.
"See now? Wasn't this more fun than watching soaps?" Tommy asked with mock
seriousness.
Kim smiled smugly "Yea, much more fun. You want
to know what made it even more fun?"
Curiosity lit up Tommy's brown eyes "Yea."
Kim smiled as she wrapped her arms around his
stomach "I was with you."
Tommy smiled and leaned down until there lips
met in a fiery kiss as the rain pattered against the tin overhang.
Tommy smiled as the rain began to fall mixing well
with his tears.
Saving forever for you baby
You are the only one I'll ever give forever to
Love for a lifetime or two
Baby want to always stay together
So I'm saving forever for you
Tommy took a deep breath as he took in his appearance.
He had on an old gray sweatshirt that was way too big for him. Looking
down past his hips, a pair of old baggy red sweats clung loosely to him.
His hair fell on his shoulders uncombed and matted. He sighed; Mondo could
easily take him right now. But things had been unusually quiet lately.
That worried him more than it brought relief. It always meant they
were planning something. He shook his head he wasn't sure he could lead
the team for much longer. He was stressed out and hurting too much. Maybe
all he needed was a vacation a break from everything. He was very doubtful
that would come anytime soon however.
He sighed. If he was completely honest with himself
what he really needed was Kim back in his life, but that wasn't going to
happen any time soon either.
Forever I'll be loving you
Long as the time passes by
I'll be there beside you
All through it all
I'll be standing beside you
Kim had been there for him through everything
and now she was gone. She had dumped him with a cold letter. She couldn't
even call and tell him. He sometimes wondered how she was doing? Was she
happy? Who was the new guy? Did he treat her right? Tommy knew he
would never find out the answers to these questions.
Looking in your eyes
Tomorrows all I see
As long as there's forever
I will always be
Needing you here with me
Adam had told him that he needed to move on and
that he had seen Kat checking him out a lot lately. Tommy knew that he
was right and he liked Kat. So what was keeping him from moving on?
Saving forever for you baby
You are the only one that I'll give forever to
Love for a lifetime or two
Baby want to always stay together
So I'm saving forever for you
Tommy swiped away a stray tear that had escaped
his eye once more and shook his head. Why was he this way? Why was he this
crazy over a girl? She had moved on. So why couldn't he? It was driving
him crazy. He leaned back into the swing and tried in vain to pick up the
shattered pieces of his broken heart, knowing he would never be able to
pick them up ever again.
Saving forever for you baby
You are the only one I'll ever give forever to
Lover for a lifetime or two
Baby want to always stay together
So I'm saving forever for you
