How did I fall in love with you?
By: Sybylle
Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like sister and brother
We understood that we'd never be alone
A young woman was sitting on a couch listening to an old song as she was remembering the only friend she ever had. He was the one to befriend her when she was around four years old. Back then, he was six and already had his long chestnut brown braid. They grew up on Colony L-2, like sister and brother. Then tragedy came and they were separated. At that time, she was sixteen and he was eighteen. They had just confessed their mutual feelings.
Those days are gone, now I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
Never meant to feel this way
Don't wanna be alone tonight
She remembered when he told her that he was going to war, she didn't want it to be true, but accepted his decision none the less. It was then, that she first heard that song, and sang it to him when he left.
What can I do to make you mine?
Fallen so hard, so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
At first the phone calls were evenly gave, then a little more erratic and one day nearly ceased… And one day, she heard a knock on her door. She opened it and had the surprised of her life. He was standing there. She jumped in his arms and kissed him fully on the lips.
I hear your voice and I start to tremble
Brings back the child that I resemble
I cannot pretend that we can still be friends
Don't wanna be alone tonight
What can I do to make you mine?
Fallen so hard, so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
As surprised as they were, he was the one to come back to Earth first. He gave her his present: three days. Three days of freedom from war. She let him come in and…
Oh, I wanna say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know
I don't wanna live this life
I don't wanna say good bye
With you I want to spend the rest of my life
As soon as he was in, he got on one knee and said the four little words that she was waiting for, since her sixteenth birthday. She nodded with tears in her eyes as he got up and took her into an embrace full of love. The next nights were also full of love as a wedding was planned.
What can I do to make you mine?
Fallen so hard, so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
After the ceremony, he had to go back, leaving her half heart broken, half the happiest woman. A few months later, she truly was a happy woman, when her love came back…
What can I do to make you mine?
Fallen so hard, so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew…
How did I fall in love with you?
After all, who couldn't be after seeing those little girls looking like carbon copy of their father…?
