Chapter 76: Wrestlemania 22 (The Final Chapter)
The next day, Wrestlemania 22, the greatest spectacle in sports-entertainment, was being held in Chicago, Illinois. The event was sold out for months and the fans were ready and raring to go.
Nicole was pacing back and forth in front of the locker room and her Women's Championship match was coming up later. Maria then walked up to her.
"Hey, Nicole," Maria said.
"Hey, Maria," Nicole said.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm just all of a sudden nervous about my match later tonight."
"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll do fine."
"Yeah. Win or lose, I'm gonna be the longest reigning Women's Champion in the last decade."
"Hey, you're a great Women's Champion and you should be thankful that John Cena has helped you trained to be one."
"Well, if it wasn't for him, my dream never would've came true."
"Hey, girls," Delancey said coming forward.
"Hey, D."
"Well, I guess I'll see you later," Maria said.
"Okay."
Then Maria walked away.
"So I guess Wrestlemania is starting," Nicole said.
"Yeah, my match is first and I'm on my way," Delancey said.
"Okay. Good luck."
"Thank you."
Nicole and Delancey hugged each other and Delancey walked away to the arena. Nicole then went inside the locker room to watch the match.
It was time for Wrestlemania's first match of the night: the Interpromotional Divas which was Delancey from RAW and Melina from Smackdown. MNM's entrance theme played and the ramp lifted to reveal a white limousine coming out. The driver came out of the limo and helped Melina out while photographers were taking pictures of her.
"The following is an Interpromotional Divas' match scheduled for one fall," Tony Chimel announced. "Making her way down to the ring representing Smackdown, Melina."
She walked down to the ring and did her ring entrance. She started prancing around and stood waiting for Delancey to come out. The lights in the arena faded to black and the Titantron showed the opening of the movie "The Matrix." The words on the titantron said,
"We are on-line, inside the greatest spectacle of sports entertainment called 'Wrestlemania 22.' It is an all-exclusive where absolutely anything can happen."
The Titantron switched to green as several men in sunglasses and suits came out and surrounded the ramp. Then Delancey's entrance theme played and she came out from behind.
"And her opponent representing RAW, Delancey Scott," Tony announced.
Delancey was wearing a long black vinyl coat with zipper in front and sunglasses. She walked down the ramp taking her sunglasses and coat off revealing a pink plaid halter bikini top, pink plaid shorts, and pink plaid skirted leg warmers. Delancey finally jumped up and did a pose before she went into the ring and did another pose. Then she got on two of the turnbuckles and raised her right arm in the air. Then she got back down and stared at Melina. Then the referee called for the bell.
Delancey and Melina stared each other down and Melina spit Delancey in the face. Melina runs out of the ring and Delancey goes after Melina before Melina hits a forearm to Delancey. Melina throws Delancey back in the ring and then she hits a cross body from the top turnbuckle followed by a split leg drop. Melina catapults Delancey into the top turnbuckle and then Melina pulls Delancey by the hair.
Melina leaves the ring and Delancey goes out after Melina again. Melina hits a clothesline to Delancey and then she rolls Delancey back into the ring. Melina gets a back breaker and then stretches Delancey over her knee. Delancey slams Melina and then puts her in a bow and arrow with Melina's boot touching her head. Delancey hits some knees to Melina's back, but Melina got a kick to Delancey's head followed by forearms.
Delancey hits a kick to Melina's head but Melina hits a punch to Delancey, but Delancey comes back with a clothesline. Delancey slams Melina's head into the turnbuckle followed by an Irish whip. Melina moves and gets a sunset flip for a two count. Delancey kicks Melina in the gut followed by a flying face driver for the three count.
"Here is your winner, Delancey Scott," Tony announced.
After the bell, the referee raises Delancey's left arm in the air and Delancey looked down at the unconscious Melina. She smiles at what she did and blew the kiss of death at Melina. She then leaves the ring and walks to the back.
Back in the locker room, Nicole was applauding.
"Oh, it looks like little Melina's problems are gonna get worse," Nicole said. "Too bad."
Later, Nicole was still in the locker room getting ready for her Women's Championship match and John was massaging her shoulders.
"Mmm, that feels good," Nicole said.
"I can sense that you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself for this match," John said.
"Yeah, I'm nervous and I'm going just a little bit crazy."
"Look, win or lose, you'll do fine. Just remember the milestone."
"I will."
"Alright, I'm done."
"Thank you."
Nicole got up, grabbed her St. Louis Cardinals jersey and baseball cap, and put them on. She was also wearing a red halter bikini top, red miniskirt, and black and red net arm warmers. Nicole turned to John and he gave her the Women's Championship Title belt.
"Look, I want you to know that no matter what happens tonight, I still love you," John said.
"I love you too," Nicole said as she kissed John. "I'll see you later."
"Good luck."
John then tapped Nicole on the butt and Nicole blew a kiss at John. She then left the locker room.
Then it was time for the triple threat match for the Women's Championship between Nicole, Trish, and Mickie James. Mickie's entrance theme played first and she came out from behind.
"The following match scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Women's Championship," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first from Richmond, Virginia, Mickie James."
Mickie was bouncing all over and she ran down to the ring. She got on one of the turnbuckles and raised both of her arms in the air. Mickie got back down and waited for Nicole and Trish to come out. Trish's entrance theme played next and she came out from behind.
"And her opponents, first from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Trish Stratus," Lillian announced.
Trish walked down the ramp and got into the ring. She wanted to get Mickie but the referee pulled her back. Then Nicole's entrance theme played last and she came out from behind.
"And from St. Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE's Women Champion, Nicole Mitchell," Lillian announced.
Nicole raised her title belt and walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then she got on one of the turnbuckles and raised her title belt in the air. Then she got back down and sat her belt down. Nicole took off cap letting down her curly hair and threw it into the crowd. Then she slowly took off her baseball jersey and threw that into the crowd as well. Nicole then stared at Mickie while the referee raised the Women's Title belt up in the air. Then he called for the bell.
Nicole and Trish went at it on Mickie in the middle of the ring to start the match. Nicole whipped Mickie into the ropes and then Trish yanked her out of the ring. Trish then got into the ring and tossed Nicole with a baseball slide out toward Mickie. Nicole threw Mickie into the ring and hit a leg drop over the ropes. Nicole and Trish double-teamed Mickie and took her out and then went at it in the corner.
Mickie rolled to the outside and Trish and Nicole traded right hands in the ring and then Nicole nailed a low dropkick to the knee. Nicole hit a snap on the knee and covered for two and Nicole worked over the leg in the corner around the ropes and then Trish kicked her off but Nicole came back with a stomp and then drove the knee right into the mat. Mickie then snuck up from behind and rolled Nicole up and nearly got the pinfall.
Mickie was going at Trish and Nicole pulled her from behind and powerslammed her in the middle of the ring. Mickie kicked out of a pin and then grabbed Nicole and slammed her head into Trish's. Mickie then kicked Nicole in the temple and went for the pin and Trish broke it up. Nicole got Mickie in the Boston Crab in the middle of the ring and she tried to fight away to the ropes, but Nicole got her in another hold. Mickie got up and rolled up Nicole. Trish then broke that pinfall.
Mickie locked Trish in a half Boston crab and then pulled the hair. Nicole then made the break and then Mickie rolled Nicole up for two. Mickie kicked Nicole's leg and tied Trish up in the ropes again and stomped right down on the back of the knee. Mickie went back to the leg and with a knee hold but then Trish countered with a whirlybird headscissors. Trish came back with forearm shots and Trish nailed a clothesline and then a spinebuster for a near fall. Nicole went for a splash in the corner but Mickie moved out of the way with getting both feet up and then headed up top. But then Trish flipped up for the Stratusphere but Mickie countered and covered for two.
Mickie threw blows at Nicole and took her with the tornado DDT out of the ring. Mickie went for a single leg to Trish but Trish countered into a small cradle for two. Mickie went for a headscissors in the corner but Trish came back with a running powerbomb for two. Trish nailed right hands and then did the MaTrish to miss a clothesline and then went for the Stratusfaction but Mickie then licked Trish in the lower areas and freaked Trish out. Mickie then went for Stratusfaction but botched it and nailed Trish with a Mick Kick and covered for the win!
"Here is your winner and the new WWE Women's Champion, Mickie James," Lillian announced.
The referee handed Mickie the Women's Championship belt and raised her arm in the air. She then blew a kiss at Trish and left the ring. Nicole got inside the ring holding her head as she went to check on Trish. Mickie was at the ramp celebrating her win and gave a psychotic look. She blew a kiss at both Nicole and Trish and left the arena. Trish got up and asked for a microphone.
"Now everybody, I think you all should know that even though Nicole Mitchell lost the Women's Championship without being pinned or submitted, Nicole is still the longest reigning Women's Champion in the last ten years. Now, Nicole, Wrestlemania is not over yet because you're still hoping for Rey Mysterio to be the new World Heavyweight Champion and for John Cena to remain the WWE Champion. And, do you remember last year when you surprised the whole world by professing your love to John Cena? Well, before the night is over, the tables will turn in a good way and you'll see exactly what I mean."
Nicole smiled and Trish raised her left arm in the air. The two Divas left the ring and walked up the ramp before turning around and raising each other's arm in the air. Then Nicole and Trish went into the back.
"Okay, Trish, what's going on?" Nicole asked. "First, Rochelle says there's a surprise for me, now you? Is this something John or Delancey told you?"
"Well, yeah," Trish said. "I thought this will make you feel better since you're no longer the Women's Champion."
"Okay."
"Trust me, before the night is over, you're gonna believe that this will be the best Wrestlemania yet in your career."
"I would hope so."
"I gotta get going so I'll see you later."
"Okay, see ya."
"Great match."
Trish shook Nicole's hand and walked away. Then Nicole thought,
"If me kissing John was a big surprise at last year's Wrestlemania, what could be the big surprise for me this year? I hope what Trish is saying is true."
A little later, Nicole and Delancey were walking to the locker room to join Rochelle and Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship match coming up. When the two girls reached the locker room, Nicole knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Rochelle said from inside.
"It's Nicole and Delancey," Nicole said.
"Come in," Rey said.
Then Nicole and Delancey walked inside.
"Hey," Nicole and Delancey said.
"Hey," Rey and Rochelle said.
"So, Rey, are you ready?" Delancey said.
"Yeah, D, I'm ready," Rey said. "Rochelle and I were saying a little prayer and now, I'm pumped up and ready."
"Alright, that's what we like to hear," Nicole said.
"I got something for you ladies."
"Oh, really?" Rochelle said. "What is it?"
Rey went to his bag and took three multi-colored Hawaiian leis.
"Oh, Rey, how thoughtful of you," Delancey said.
"You girls are really angels sent from heaven and I'm glad that Eddie's spirit got you guys to help me," Rey said as he put the leis around "Eddie's Angels'" necks.
"We're happy to help you, Rey," Nicole said. "I just don't want Randy to ruin your dream and to get you crazy."
"I know. By the way, you girls look beautiful tonight."
"Thank you," Eddie's Angels said.
They were wearing Eddie Guerrero commemorative red T-shirts custom made into tube tops and black miniskirts. Delancey was also wearing black arm warmers with buckles. She and Nicole were wearing black boots and Rochelle was wearing black platform pumps.
"Alright, let's get the party started," Rochelle said.
"Yeah," everyone else as they left the locker room.
Then it was time for the triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Rey, Randy Orton, and Kurt Angle. The band, P.O.D., were playing Rey Mysterio's entrance theme "Booyaka 619" high up on the stage with "Eddie's Angels" dancing along in the top of the Titantron.

During the performance, Rey popped up from under the ramp and made his way to the back. He had this funky head dress on when he re-emerged up with P.O.D. "Eddie's Angels" came down from the Titantron and joined Rey as the four walked down the ramp. Rey and Delancey jumped into the ring first and Rochelle got up the steps and went into the ring next. Nicole used Melina's ring entrance to get in the ring. The Angels continued dancing as Rey got on the turn buckles and raised his right arms in the air.
After the performance, Randy's entrance theme played and he came out from behind. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Randy then went on one of the turnbuckles and did his pose. He got back down and began to talk trash to "Eddie's Angels." Then Kurt's entrance theme played next and he came out from behind and went into the ring with major pyro.

The referee raised Rey's arm in the air along with "Eddie's Angels" and Rey went up on the turnbuckles raising the World Heavyweight title belt in the air. Rey and Eddie's Angels left the ring and walked up the ramp to see Chavo and Vickie Guerrero standing at the top of the ramp. They came out and celebrated with Rey and "Eddie's Angels." They also know that Eddie Guerrero was looking down at them and was very proud.
A little later, Nicole and Delancey were walking to the locker room to join John for the WWE Championship match coming up. When they got there, Nicole knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" John said from inside.
"It's Nicole and Delancey," Nicole said.
"Come in."
Then Nicole and Delancey walked inside.
"Hey," Nicole and Delancey said.
"Hey, ladies," John said.
"So, John, are you ready?" Delancey said.
"Yeah, D, I'm ready," John said. "I'm not backing down quickly and I can't wait to kick Triple H's ass."
"I heard that."
"Here you go, ladies."
John picked up two black coats and black hats and gave them to Nicole and Delancey. The two girls then put them on. Nicole was wearing a red low-cut midriff tank top, black pants, and black suspenders. Delancey was wearing a glittery silver bustier, black pants, and a silver scarf with the engagement ring inside the hidden pocket.
"Wow, are we gonna have fun or what?" Nicole said.
"Yeah," Delancey said. "I actually like this."
"So are you ladies ready?" John asked.
"Are you?" Nicole said.
"Hell yeah."
"Alright, then let's go," Delancey said.
Then everyone left the locker room.
Then it was time for the WWE Championship match between John versus Triple H. Triple H's new entrance theme played and he emerged from the stage in a chair dressed as Conan the Barbarian. The music stopped and then his original entrance theme played as Triple H made his way down to the ring. He did his usual thing on the apron and got into the ring and then a video of the great depression then played on the titantron. The theme was whether you loved or hated the Chicago's gangsters, they sacrificed everything. Some gangster music played and the ramp lifted to reveal a gangster car and some guys coming out with guns surrounding the ring. Then John's entrance theme played and he came out from behind with Nicole and Delancey following him. Nicole and Delancey stood on both sides of John and all three took off their hats. Nicole actually kept her hat on. Then they fired guns into the air and took off their coats. John, Nicole, and Delancey walked down the ramp and they got into the ring. John raised his title belt in the air and he took off his "Chain Gang: Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect" t-shirt off and threw it in the crowd. John gave his title belt to the referee and he raised it up in the air. Nicole gave John a good luck kiss and left the ring with Delancey as the referee called for the bell.

Triple H screamed in pain and he's close the to the ropes and he looks to have passed out! The referee checked his arm but he says alive on the third check but then Triple H had no choice but to tap out!
Nicole and Delancey got into the ring as the referee gave John the title belt and raised his arm in the air along with Nicole and Delancey. But the crowd was not happy that John has retained his WWE Championship here tonight. John then asked for a microphone.
"Now, now. I know that some of you wanted Triple H to be the WWE Champion, but I know that there's still some soldiers that still wanna ride with me. But the reason I'm still standing in this ring tonight is because of one person, someone very close to me, and that person is you...Nicole Mitchell." John walked over to Nicole and took her right hand. "Nicole, you were always the one person that believed in me most and my life won't be complete until I give you what you truly deserve." Delancey pulled out the little jewelry box from her scarf and gave it to John. He opened it and Nicole's widen in amazement as she started to cry. She covered her mouth as John got down on one knee. "Nicole Dawn Mitchell, will you marry me?"
Nicole, all of a sudden, starts crying as John and Delancey smiled at her. Nicole took the microphone from John and said,
"Yes! Yes! Yes, I'll marry you!"
John took the ring out of the box and put it on Nicole's finger. Nicole hugged John and John kissed her with all of his heart. Then he raised her left arm in the air. Nicole then walked over to Delancey and the two girls hugged. Then everyone left the ring and went to the back.
"Surprise!" Delancey said. "So what did you think?"
"I'm still speechless," Nicole said. "I don't know what to say."
"Well, I'm gonna leave you two alone so you can enjoy this wonderful moment."
Then Delancey walked away.
"Are you serious?" Nicole asked. "Do you really want to marry me?"
"Yes, I mean it," John said. "Nicole, you're the best thing that's happen to me and with everything I've earned so far, the next thing I wanted was to marry you, and that is something that would make my life complete."
"Oh, John, I feel exactly the same way. You picked the best day to purpose to me. And that, John Cena, is a big time moment."
John and Nicole then kissed each other passionately.
"So do you think that Randy will be pissed when he finds out that you're gonna marry me?" John said.
"I don't care about him," Nicole said. "I care about you. Randy can kick and scream and cry all he wants, but it's not gonna change the fact that I'm now finally engage to you, Doctor of Thuganomics."
John smiled and he and Nicole shared another kiss, but this time, it was longer.
After Wrestlemania was over, John and Nicole, along with Shelton and Delancey, went back to the hotel to change and took the 24-minute trip to Downtown Chicago to the Hyatt Regency where Dave and Rochelle's Wrestlemania after-party was.
The four got out of the elevator and were walking down the hallway. Then they finally reached the hotel room.
"Is this it?" John said.
"Yeah, this is it," Nicole said.
"They sure picked a good place to have the party," Shelton said.
"Yes, they did," Delancey said.
Then Nicole knocked on the door and a minute later, Rochelle opened the door.
"Hey, everyone," Rochelle said.
"Hey," John, Nicole, Shelton, and Delancey said.
"Congratulations, Nicole."
"Thank you," Nicole said as she hugged Rochelle.
"Well, come in. Join the party."
Then everyone went inside and closed the door. The guests that were there were Torrie Wilson, Billy Kidman, Trish, Ashley, Matt Hardy, the Big Show, Chris Benoit, Chavo Guerrero, Vickie Guerrero and her daughters Shaul and Sherilyn, Rey Mysterio and his wife, Angie, and two kids Dominic and Aaliyah, and Kristal Marshall. They all greeted John, Nicole, Shelton, and Delancey and even gave their congratulations to John and Nicole on their engagement. John went to play pool with Dave, Rey, and Chavo, Shelton and Delancey went to speak with the guests, and Nicole went to the bedroom because her cell phone was ringing. Nicole took it out of her purse and saw that her mom, Danielle, was calling her. Nicole sat down on the bed and answered the call.
"Hi, mom," Nicole said.
"Hi, Nicole," Danielle said calling from her home in St. Louis, Missouri where she was having a party. "How are you?"
"I'm great. I'm so happy. Oh, my god. Did you watch Wrestlemania?"
"Yes, I did. Nicole, I'm proud of you and I'm happy that you and John are finally engaged."
"Thank you. I'm still speechless at the moment and I can't even stop looking at the ring. Does Dad know that I'm engaged?"
"Yes. In fact, a month ago, John called your father asking him for your hand in marriage."
"Oh, my god. How thoughtful of him."
"Yes. You should've heard the happiness in his voice when he called and told me the news."
"I'll bet he was pretty happy."
"He was. What are you doing right now?"
"I'm at an after-party with John and some friends at a hotel."
"Well, you have a great time and I'll talk to you later."
"Okay. Bye, mom."
"Bye, sweetie."
Nicole then ended the call and put her cell phone back in her purse. She then left the bedroom to join the party.
Nicole went over to the buffet table to get something to eat when Rochelle walked over to her with a glass of champagne in her right hand.
"Hey, Nicole," Rochelle said.
"Oh. Hey, Rochelle," Nicole said.
"How are you?"
"I'm great. I'm doing just fine."
"Wonderful. So, how does it feel to be the future Mrs. John Cena?"
"There are no words to describe it. I'm still speechless at the moment."
"So how do you think everyone is gonna react when they find out that you and John are engaged?"
"Probably the first question will be 'Is Nicole Mitchell finally gonna walk down the aisle?' and the answer is, of course, yes."
"You'll probably hear that on Entertainment Tonight."
"Yeah."
"What about Randy? How do you think he's gonna react when he finds out that you're gonna marry John?"
"It's like I told John, I don't care about him, I care about John. Randy can kick and scream and cry all he wants, but it's not gonna change the fact that I'm now finally engage to the WWE Champion."
"That's true."
"Hey, ladies," Trish said.
"Hey, Trish," Nicole said.
"I'll leave you two alone," Rochelle said and walked away.
"So, how are you holding up?" Trish asked.
"I'm holding up just fine," Nicole said. "I'm not too disappointed that I lost the Women's Championship to Mickie James though, but Wrestlemania 22 was the best one yet for me."
"I told you so. Listen, I never got the chance to apologize for not listening to you about Mickie James. I guess I was too caught up with her, I had no idea of how psychotic she was going to be."
"I understand. You didn't want to hurt her feelings, but like Delancey said, a crazy person does not have feelings."
"Yeah. I must admit that you were a great Women's Champion and you becoming it for nearly eight months made you an even better wrestler. You should thank John for training you to become the Women's Champion."
"Hey, if it wasn't for him, my dream would never have come true."
"So, Nicole, could I be one of your bridesmaids for the wedding?"
"Yes, Trish, of course."
Then Nicole and Trish hugged each other.
Several minutes into the party, Nicole was having a conservation with Delancey, Rochelle, and Ashley until John walked over to them.
"Hey, ladies," John said.
"Hey, John," the girls said.
"I hope y'all are being nice to my future wife here."
"Of course we are, considering that you're marrying her," Ashley said.
"When is the big day, actually?" Rochelle asked.
"I'm thinking sometime around the holiday season," John said. "What do you think, baby?"
"I'd like that," Nicole said.
"Great."
"So, who are you going to choose as your bridesmaids?" Delancey said.
"Well, Trish already asked me and I said yes," Nicole said. "What about you three?"
"Are you kidding?" Rochelle said.
"No."
"Okay. Then we accept," Ashley said.
"Of course, I need one more bridesmaid and I've already considered my sister, Amy, as my maid of honor."
"Well, I guess I have a pretty good idea who's gonna be my best man," John said.
"What about your groomsmen?"
"I think I got that covered too."
Then "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder played in the background.
"Would you like to dance?" John asked.
"It'll be my pleasure," Nicole said.
Then John and Nicole went over to the other side of the living room, along with Torrie and Billy, Ashley and Matt, Chavo and Vickie, Rey and Angie, Shelton and Delancey, and Dominic and Shaul, and started slow dancing.
Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I've sought can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you
After dancing to that song, John and Nicole went out to the private terrace.
"Wow. It's a beautiful night, is it?" John said.
"Yeah, it is," Nicole said.
"Nicole?"
"Yes."
"What's your fantasy of a dream wedding day?"
"Well, my fantasy is marrying you inside a big church with all of our friends and family. After that, we would make our grand entrance by riding in a stretch limo to the reception. And finally, I would love to spend our honeymoon in either Hawaii, London, or Italy. Whatever suits you."
"Well, I'll make sure that your dream comes true when the day comes."
Nicole smiled and John leaned in and kissed her passionately.
Back inside the hotel room, everyone was observing the romantic moment.
"This next song goes out to John and Nicole," Rochelle said.
She switched the next song on the stereo and "Vision of Love" by Mariah Carey started playing through the speakers outside of the terrace. John and Nicole heard the song and looked at the window where everyone was watching. They all walked away and John and Nicole smiled.
"I guess they knew we were gonna be out here," Nicole said.
"Yes, they did," John said.
Then the two started to slow dance.
Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered from alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me
I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven has
Sent down to me
You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all
That you turned out to
Be
At the end of the song, John and Nicole shared another long, passionate kiss under the stars as they dreamed about their future together.
