One Sweet Love
Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of a mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
She closed her eyes. It'd been five years and she still couldn't get him out of her head. She'd had boyfriends since him, but she just couldn't hold onto anything. She'd loved him with every fiber in her body, "Guess that wasn't enough." She mumbled as the bell rang and her Calculus class entered the room.
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize
Is made out of my own devices
Could I be wrong?
Sometimes she thought she'd dreamt it up. It had been a whirlwind relationship. Lasting only a month. A meager month and five years later she still dwelled on it. His face was becoming blurry and she was having to create the rest of it in her mind. But she couldn't forget their passion. The fire that their relationship had, it had her coming back for more even after another argument.
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Was that it? Was that the only chance she got? Was she actually able to ruin her one chance at true love? A student raised a hand with a question.
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do
I'll open up the moon for you
Just come down soon
She closed her eyes. Dreaming of their nights together, did he remember? Or did he not actually exist? She was beginning to question whether it was all a lie now. She'd have given him everything. Guess it just wasn't enough.
The time that I've taken
I pray it's not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting
For a heart worth of breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake
In the name of one sweet love
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain
Sip on the southern rain, as I do
I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you
He didn't exist. That was the final verdict. She was ready to let this go. There was no way he could've. If he really did then he'd be here now, he wouldn't have left her after a month. She had to just let it go. She walked into school with an uncharacteristic smile on her face. People were shocked.
The earth that is the space between
I'd banish it from under me to get to you
Your unexpected love provides my solitary's suicide
Oh I wish I knew
No, she's not going to go back there. She decided to leave that place behind and look for something better. Her thoughts weren't allowed to drift back there.
The time that I've taken
I pray it's not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting
For a heart worth of breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake
In the name of one sweet love
"Hello Gabriella." She looked up, there he was, he was more handsome than she remembered.
"Troy?" she choked out.
He nodded, "Can we talk? I need to apologize, for all those years ago." He smiled, that heart melting smile.
She nodded and looked at her class, "If you'd like to take a seat, I have a free period next." He nodded and sat at her desk, waiting for her. She'd been waiting for him, for five whole years.
She smiled to herself, "One sweet love." She mumbled
