A/N: I know I said I'd write two yesterday, but I couldn't get the chance to, and this whole week I've got soccer tryouts and things, so I might not be able to do one every day, though I'll try my best.
Based off of the song, Mary's Song (Oh, My, My, My) by Taylor Swift. I was listening to the song, and though it'd be so cute to write for Eli and Clare.:) Enjoy!:D
And I'd like to dedicate this to GoldsworthyGontierGirl123, because she was the first one to review these, and she's reviewed every single one, so far. Thank you so much, your reviews put a huge smile on my face, every time I read them.:)

Mary's Song (Oh, My, My, My) by Taylor Swift
She said I was seven and you were nine
Seven year old Clare Edwards ran around her front yard, smiling and giggling as nine year old Elijah Goldsworthy tried to tag her. They were neighbors, and their parents were good friends. Eli and Clare grew a strong friendship while living next to each other, and were best friends.
I looked at you like the stars that shine in the sky and the pretty lights
Clare absolutely adored deep Emerald color of Eli's eyes, even if she didn't quite know what a 'crush' was, just yet. They reminded her of shiny stars and bright lights, always twinkling with mischief and playfulness.
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love
Bullfrog and Randall would always joke about their kids falling in love with each other, one day, and getting married.
And our mommas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said, oh, my, my, my
Cece and Helen would always roll their eyes at their husbands planning their children's fate; usually it was the mothers that would do that type of thing, but with them, it was always the mothers who thought it was a far-fetched idea.
Take me back to the house and the backyard tree
One weekend, Bullfrog, Randall, Eli and Clare all decided to build a tree house in between their backyards. They would always go there to hang out with each other. They even camped out there, sometimes.
Said you'd beat me up; you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Eli would always tease Clare about how he was going to beat her up, because he was so much bigger and stronger than her.
"I'm gonna beat you up, Clare Bear!" Eli emphasized his statement by putting his arms out and flexing his "muscles."
"Yeah, well I don't believe you!" Clare taunted, knowing he would never hit a girl.
She was right; he never did.
Take me back when our world was one block wide
Life was always so simple for Eli and Clare, growing up. They would hang out in the tree house, in their yards, or inside one of their houses on a rainy day. They would play together all day, not saying goodbye until after it started to get dark out.
They would go into their imaginary worlds of make-believe, not thinking that anything would ever hurt them.
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I
Oh, my, my, my, my
"I dare you to kiss me, if you don't believe in cooties, then!" Clare challenged.
She and Eli had been arguing for the past ten minutes over whether cooties were real or not. Eli would insist that he didn't believe in them, while Clare would argue back that all boys believe in cooties, and that he was no different. Which brought them to where they were, now.
Eli's face scrunched up in surprise, disgust, and then finally, determination. Eli was never one to back down from a dare.
"Okay, I will!" He slowly walked towards Clare, who was debating whether to stay or go.
Finally, when Eli was right in front of her, lips puckered, she ran away, screaming.
Well, I was sixteen when, suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
Sixteen year old Clare walked out of her house, one morning, wearing a light blue tank top with short pajama shorts. She went to go sit on her old swing set in her backyard, thinking about how her life had flown by, a little too fast for her liking.
"Hey, Clare; what are you doing?" Eli asked, coming up to sit next to her. He eyed her revealing apparel, thinking almost the same thing as Clare. He still couldn't believe that she was already sixteen years old. He had developed a crush on her, over the years. He knew that, pretty soon, guys would be all over her.
"Just thinking. I can't believe you're already eighteen; it feels like we were just running around in the backyard, without a care in the world." Clare was reminiscing on her childhood memories with Eli, when she rested her head on his shoulder, nuzzling into his side.
But your eyes still shined, like pretty lights
Clare still thought that Eli's eyes shined like twinkling lights, even as a moody teenager. Some might think it childish to relate his eyes to 'pretty lights', but to Clare, they'd always be that way. She too had developed feelings for Eli.
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
Randall and Bullfrog still joked about their kids falling in love, though they never believed how true it would end up being. They always thought that their kids would remain friends, maybe even develop a brother-sister relationship, despite their constant teasing to the two teens.
And our mommas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said, oh, my, my, my
Helen and Cece would still roll their eyes, even though they could see a little bit better between their kids, and knew their husbands were right with their teasing; they just didn't realize it.
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
2am, riding in your truck
And all I need is you next to me
Clare and Eli were driving around in his truck, not going anywhere in particular, just enjoying each other's company. They had started dating about two months ago, and everything was great. They didn't even notice that it was two in the morning; they were laughing and talking, and just having fun.
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slammin' of doors stead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside, till the morning light
Oh, my, my, my
"I can't believe you! You know I hate her, why would you flirt with her?" Clare accused, trying to figure out just why exactly she had seen Eli and Jenna flirting with each other.
"I was not flirting with her! She started flirting with me, and I told her to back off! I don't know what you thought was considered flirting by me, because I didn't even go near her!" Eli had been telling the truth, but from where Clare was standing, it did look like flirting.
Clare was getting really upset, because her and Eli had never fought before, and she didn't know what to do.
You know what, Clare? If you don't believe me, then fine! I'll just go home!" Eli stormed off, going into his house, leaving Clare standing there, crying her eyes out.
"FINE! I DON'T NEED YOU, ANYWAY!" Clare screamed angrily to the empty air, hoping that he had heard her, but also not wanting him to.
She stood in front of her house for the next twenty minutes, her arms wrapped around her, pulling at her hair and trying to get her breathing under control.
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
When Clare was twenty-two, and Eli twenty-four, they were walking around town, until they came across their favorite place.
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Eli looked Clare right in the eyes, and knelt down, pulling out a little velvet box from his back pocket. He got on one knee, and said, "Clare Diane Edwards, I love you with all my heart, and I always will. Even when we fight, I know you'll always be there for me, just like I'll be there for you. Will you marry me?"
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Clare walked down the aisle of the church, with her father escorting her to where she would start her future with the man she loved, more than anyone.
Our whole town came and our mommas cried
Everyone in town had shown up for their wedding, as it was a small town, and everyone loved the young couple.
When it came time to say the vows, Helen and Cece were already in tears. They knew this day would come, and they couldn't be happier for their kids and the one they were about to marry, who were already a part of each other's families.
You said I do, and I did, too
"I do," Eli's voice rang out, full of good emotions.
"I do," Clare said, her voice breaking a tiny bit.
Take me home, where we met, so many years before
They walked to their new home, the same place they had met, so many years ago.
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I
Clare and Eli had two beautiful babies, and would always rock them on the same porch their parents had rocked them, when they themselves were babies.
When I'll be 87, you'll be 89
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine in the sky
Oh, my, my, my
"When we're older, I'll still look into your eyes and think of beautiful lights," twenty-seven year old Clare Goldsworthy proclaimed to her twenty-nine year old husband.
"Oh, my, my, my," Cece Goldsworthy teased, watching the two loving couple talking on the front porch, with her grandkids playing in the front yard, together. Helen nodded her head in agreement, while Randall and Bullfrog said,
"We told you so."
