I flip through my phone, looking through the endless pictures of Marvel and I. I'm currently lying on my husband, Marvel's, chiseled chest, his arms around me as he combs through my hair with his favorite show playing. So as of now I'm looking at our pictures together, they date back to two years ago when we first met.
"You where in college working part time waiting tables.
Left your small town never looked back.
I was a flight risk,
With a fear of falling.
Wondering why we both with love if it never lasts."
This one in particular is simply of him, I had texted Madge, my best friend, that I saw the cutest waiter ever. She had demanded I send a picture and I never deleted it.
That was the day I fell in love, I didn't know it at the time but only months later I would come to realize I was madly in love. One look into his green eyes and I was a goner, it's the same story for him.
But even so, I saw love as pointless. I wasn't aware of my feelings towards him, being the naive girl I was. All my dreams of falling in love ended the day my father left us, leaving my mother in a dead shell. If love would only do... that to you, then what was the point?
I chuckle to myself, how wrong was I? Love... it's the best thing that ever could have been put into our world.
Marvel's hand engulfs mine as he looks at my phone and I can picture him smiling. "The day we met." He notes.
I nod, "My favorite day ever."
"Even on top of our wedding?" He asks playfully, kissing my head.
I giggle, "No day can top that."
"I say 'can you believe it?'
As we're lying on the couch,
This moment I can see it now.
Yes, yes I can see it now."
This moment right here is one we share every night. Not a day goes by we don't lay down together and just enjoy one another company. These are the moments I will always cherish, and it makes me think back to one of our many memories together.
"Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me
For the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless mans careful daughter.
You are the best thing,
That's ever been mine."
"What'cha thinking about, love?" He asks.
I shake my head and crane my neck to meet his baby blue eyes.
"The first date you took me on, it was to your lake house." I say, looking down at his lips and then back at his eyes.
He chuckles and it rumbles through his muscles chest, making my body that lay atop his shake slightly. "I remember that. That was the night I took you out on my boat and we-"
"Spent the night out on the water." I finish for him, nuzzling my head back under his neck.
He slowly rubs my back and moves his head so that his cheek rests on my head. "And your parents were pissed at me the next day."
I laugh, "I couldn't have cared less. That was the most fun I ever had, and it only blossomed into something perfect."
"I'm glad I had the balls to even ask you out, I was always flustered around you." He says with a chuckle. "You were just too... Intimidating because you were so beautiful, you still are the most beautiful girl I have ever met."
I blush and bury my head in his neck, my cold nose pressing against his skin.
"Flash forward and we're taking on the world together.
And there's a drawer of my things at your place.
You learned my secrets and you figured out why I'm bothered.
You say we'll never make our parents mistakes."
I play with the collar of his dress shirt, he never changed when he got home from work, and I begin to think of the night I admitted so much to him. All about my past, how my father left us and my mother became distant. He had seemed shocked, and comforted me the entire night. He reassured me that he would never leave me, yet I still sobbed into his chest.
I had fallen asleep while crying in his arms on the couch. The very couch we lay on now. The next morning I woke up cuddled into his side with toasty blankets covering our bodies, not a tear to be found on my face. And it was because of him.
"But we've got bills to pay.
We've got nothing figured out.
When it was hard to take
Yeah, yeah.
This is what I thought about-
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water.
You put your arm around me for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
You are the best thing,
That's ever been mine."
For those first few months we lived together it was hard, I was still in school and we each only worked but so many hours a week. Times were tough, but we got through it together. We always do.
"Do you remember all the city lights on the water.
You saw me start to believe for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
You are the best thing that's ever been mine."
"That was the first night we kissed as well, the first night you let your walls down. You didn't say anything necessarily, but it was your eyes. They weren't a hard cover, instead they were a pool of different emotions and I couldn't wait to figure out." Marvel says, his lips resting on my head.
I smile, "I remember. You also fell in the water."
He snorts, "That was so your fault."
"How?!" I exclaim, lifting my head to loo at his eyes that were shining with amusement.
"You stood up in the boat, I had to make sure you didn't fall in!" He says, laughing at my defensive expression. "I was simply being a gentleman."
I snort and shake my head, "You are such a dork."
He grins cheekily. "But I'm your dork."
I nod and kiss his nose. "True."
"And you're my princess."
"And I remember that fight
2:30 AM
Cause' everything was slipping right out of our hands.
I ran out crying and you followed me out
Into the streets."
We had been dating for five months by then, and one day it all became too much for the both of us. I was afraid that I was getting too close to him, I was terrified of my feelings and he was over my hiding my emotions. We blew up at each other.
"Braced myself for goodbye
Cuz that's all I've ever known.
And you took my by surprise
You said "I'll never leave you alone."
You said 'I remember how we felt sitting by the water,
and every time I look at you it's like the first time.
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing
That's ever been mine!"
Instead of fully breaking my heart that night, he healed it right back up. We had a passionate embrace, we must have held each other for hours and hours on end. I didn't want to let him go, and I know he didn't want to let me go either.
We ended up inside our house, and that was the exact night I gave myself to him... We had made love for the first time, and I can honestly say that was one of the best nights of my life.
"You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter,
You are the best thing that's ever been mine!
Yeah yeah, do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now.
And I can see it,
Yeah yeah,
I can see it now,
See it now,
See it now.
"I love you." He whispers.
I smile and lean my head up to kiss him. His arms pull me inhumanly closer and he smiles as I reply.
"I love you too."
