Another day passed before I even attempted to get out of bed. And
even when I did stand up my legs were wobbly. But my mind forced them
forward; it needed some sort of stimulation after days of bed rest.
Besides I had just thought of the perfect way to show Carissa my
appreciation. Fortunately it was still very early in the morning and I
knew Carissa would not be up for hours. I needed all the time I could get
to make myself once again presentable.
As I opened the bedroom door I was immediately saw a very pleasant sight. Before me stood Carissa with the biggest smile I had ever seen lighting up her face. She had always been a cute girl but when she smiled her beauty almost reached Christine's level. And I made a mental note to try and make her smile more often. She had a hard life before I met her and even a harder one after I left. But no matter what happened I could always make her smile.
"Don't you look handsome?" she greeted as pink brushed her cheeks.
"Thank you. You look lovely. Hard to tell that you've been having such a hard time lately." I complimented her.
"Yes but everything is fine now that you're better. You really scared me there." she said with downcast eyes.
"My apologizes. I hope you will let me make it up to you." I said softly.
" You don't have to really. I would do it again if I had to but don't take that as an invitation to." she said as her eyes came up to meet mine.
"No I insist on repaying you. You have been a great friend and I want to show my appreciation. And I promise never to do anything so foolish ever again." I swore to her as we reached the dining room.
We enjoyed a nice breakfast in a comfortable silence that only friends can share. I had honestly forgotten what a great cook she was. She truly was talented in many fields but she just never had the confidence that I possessed. She never really thought much of herself; in truth I thought more of myself than she did of herself. But I was going to try and change that, help her see all that she is and all that she can be. That was one way to show my appreciation but my first way would be my favorite and hopefully hers as well.
Carissa had errands to run after breakfast. Giving me the time I needed to prepare my surprise for her. I saw her to the door after telling her for he hundredth time that I would be fine by myself and I was not going to do anything foolish again. I had to smile at her concern; she always did have a big heart. And that made me even more thankful for her friendship. After I was sure that she had really left I sat down at my organ for the first time in weeks. I slowly caressed every key individually as they welcomed me home. I was surprised that my voice stayed about the same after weeks of not singing. And it would sound perfect when I performed Carissa's song. After only an hour of writing I had the perfect song for my own saving grace.
Carissa's Song
I was drowning in misery
Until you took me by the hand
And made me see
That there is a life worth living
Waiting right in front of me
If I would only open my eyes and my heart
To see that there is someone
Missing me
And wanting me to live
My life to the fullest
Someone who wanted to
Help take my pain away
A friend with a huge heart
That cares for no one
More than me
And now that you have saved me
I know what true friendship is
And I thank my lucky stars for you
My dearest friend and saving grace
Carissa you made my life better
The day you walked into it
~Thank you all my reviewers you are the sole reason I continue to write. Also thanks to Phantom Aria for writing Carissa's Song, it is better than you think.
