For All These Times Kid, For All These Times - Lostprophets
For all these times that we walked away
For all these times that I heard you say
Give me something to believe in
Give me someone to believe in
For all these times and it starts today
She did it again, without even knowing it. She had that kind of effect on me. Only had to be there and my heart skipped a beat. Each time I forced the thoughts out of my head and walked away. I've told her I love her, nearly every day, and it has never been a lie.
I do love her. I'm just not comfortable with her knowing how much I love her and what kind of love it is.
The tear your clothes off and make mad passionate love kind of love. Not the I love you like a sister kind of love. I would get arrested having those kinds of thoughts about my sisters.
I could tell you every time Penelope has said she loved me- right down to the date and time. I run them through my head over and over when I am lonely. They give me something to believe in, make me want to go on.
My phone rings. Seeing that it is her, I compose myself before answering. "Hey, baby girl, what have you got for me?" I am glad she can't see me through the phone because I am grinning ear to ear.
"For you, handsome, the world," she chimes into the phone. "I am still working on it, just wanted to hear your voice."
"I am glad you called," I say and boy was I ever. "Hey, can we talk when I get back?" It is out of my mouth before I can change my mind.
"Sure thing, handsome, what's on your mind?"
"We will talk when I get back."
"I look forward to it."
She has always given me something to believe in, and for all those times, it starts today.
She is waiting for me when the elevator opens. There is a huge rush of emotions. I regret telling her I want to talk. What if it makes our relationship worse? I try to think of an excuse but nothing comes to mind.
"Did you want to talk here or at your place?" she asks.
"My place, can you give me 10?" I need air or something.
"Sure thing. I will meet you there in 20."
She is so considerate and kind and why was I worried again? She shows up and walks in and sits on the sofa. I don't know how to start the conversation- so I don't. I just lean in and kiss her and see where it takes us. She kisses me back with fervor.
"It's about time, Hot stuff," she purrs, kissing me again.
"What do you mean?"
"Finally, you are giving me something to believe in."
She kisses me back and we cuddle on the sofa till morning. I have never been happier.
