I'll Be
Chadly
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.
Tonight was my senior prom and I hurriedly rushed across my room, tearing it apart like a hurricane just swept across it, I looked myself over in the mirror, searching for flaws in the cream colored dress I bought or pricetags I forgot to take off or any other flaw.
My best friend, Gabbi, was staying over at my house to get ready for prom as well, she laughed at my anxiety, "Em, chill, it's Chad, his jaw will drop so fast that the High Dive ride will be put into shame."
I laughed softly, "Yeah...I guess so, but it's easy for you to say! You've been dating my brother since freshman year, and Chad just now asked me to prom!"
"Just breath," she laughed softly again.
The doorbell rang all of a sudden, causing me to jump two feet and my makeup to crash all over my
bathroom floor, I groaned and kneeled down to pick it up while Gabbi went to answer the door.
"Hey, guys," I could hear her say, I started picking up the makeup faster, then walked downstairs.
Chad's eyes lit up and he smiled big when he saw me, he didn't look so bad either in that tux. All
he could spit out was a whisper, "Wow..."
I could feel heat rush up my neck and to my cheeks, "You're pretty wow yourself, Danforth."
Troy piped in on our locking eyes, "Alright, let's go."
At the prom, I had the time of my life. I danced the night away with Chad and after we both got tired of being there, I took off my heels as we decided to take a walk. The entire school was lit of beautifully, I looked around at the scenery.
"Beautiful, huh?" I said softly, amazed.
"Yeah, but not even comparible to my date," he smiled as it tugged my heartstrings and I blushed.
"Thanks..." I looked up at the stars that shone on the New Mexico sky. Nothing could've gone better than tonight.
And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
"Wanna dance?" Chad asked, faint sounds of the music inside the gym could be heard.
"Of course," I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his around my
waist. I looked up in his eyes and we both instinctively leaned in towards each other until our
lips met into a soft kiss. I pulled back slowly and smiled. This was perfect.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Chad asked, I could tell he was nervous about what I would say.
"What do you think?" I grinned, teasing him was so much fun.
"Well..." Chad grinned as well as we shared another kiss under the stars.
The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.
