The next day we all headed to the auditorium for first period, lemonade cans in our hands. "Hey guys!" Ms. Reznick called when she saw us. "Hey Ms.R!" we said cheerfully running up to sit on the edge of the stage. "I've been meaning to ask you Olivia; Have you written any new songs yet?"our music teacher asked. "No, not yet. To be honest,I'm a little blocked," I admitted quietly.
"Blocked? Hmm. You'd think you'd be bursting with lyrics right now," she said thoughtfully, "I mean, so much is going on in all of your lives. There's lots of song ideas here! You just have to find them. Maybe Wen can help you." Wen and I shared a look. "To the piano?" He suggested playfully. I laughed and went with him to the grand piano on the far end of the stage.
Wen started playing the piano, not to fast not to slow. I watched his eyes squint in concentration, his face looking younger and free of concern. I started to think about how close we were now, after months of dreaming. Of our secret rendez-vous in the park. And the lyrics came.
Sparks fly
It's like electricity
I might die
When I forget how to breathe
You get closer and there's
No where in this world I'd rather be
Time stops
Like everything around me
Is frozen
And nothing matters but these
Few moments when you open my mind to things
I've never seen
'Cause when I'm kissing you
My senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place
You're all that it takes
My doubts fade away
When I'm kissing you
When I'm kissing you
It all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes
When I'm kissing you
Past loves
They never got very far
Wall's up, made sure I guarded my heart
And I promise I wouldn't do this till I knew it was right for me
But no one (no one)
No guy that I met before
Could make me (make me)
Feel so right and secure
And have you noticed
I lose my focus
And the world around me disappears
'Cause when I'm kissing you
My senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place
You're all that it takes
My doubts fade away
When I'm kissing you
When I'm kissing you
It all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes
When I'm kissing you
I've never felt nothing like this
You're making me open up
No point in even trying to fight this
It kinda feels like it's love
Cause when I'm kissing you
My senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Falls right into place
You're all that it takes
My doubts fade away
When I'm kissing you
When I'm kissing you
It all starts making sense
And all the questions I've been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes
When I'm kissing you
I finish singing to applause. "I told you you could do it!" exclaimed Ms. Reznick hugging me. "You were right. There's lots of song inspiration here;I just had to look for it." My hand found Wen's subconsciously and he squeezed it. "Good job, Liv. You've spun another hit out of nothing." I blushed. "It wasn't nothing. I had... Inspiration." A look passed between us and I knew he understood. He was my inspiration.
