"Okay, before we get interrupted again, I wanted to tell you that I love you and our son. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't have the money for a ring right now," he said, reaching in his pants pocket, "so I hope my class ring will do." He reached for my left hand and slid the ring on my finger. "I had it sized for you,"
I laughed a little bit. "Matt..." I started, at a loss for words. I started to cry.
"I always knew you'd be the one," he said.
"I had hoped so too, but when we moved to California...my dreams were shattered. And when I came back here, I didn't know what to think," I said, between sobs.
"Well, I don't want to make you cry anymore, so maybe I shouldn't give you the other thing right now,"
"No, I'm fine,"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." Matt reached into his pocket a second time and handed me a piece of paper. I opened it and saw it was written with Matt's chickenscratch handwriting. The top of the page said "The One - by Matt Ballinger"
I always knew you'd be the one
That I'd love forever
You took my hand and loved me too
Like there was no tomorrow
And as I lay alone in bed
I can picture us together
We'll be happy, cuz you and I
Were made for each other
(Chorus)
Baby, I just want you to see
That you mean whole world to me
And that I will be true to you always
It's a dream that became reality
You and me
I cannot tell you this enough
Baby, I love you
And if you don't believe it's true
Just look into my eyes
I want to hold your hand and kiss your lips
I want to be with you forever
And if forever's not enough
I'll be happy cuz you loved me
(Chorus)
I will wait for you baby
Up in heaven
We were meant to be together
Until the very end
I couldn't hold it in anymore. I started to cry again.
