Anything that you desire
Anything at all...
You can see it in my eyes
The way I look at you
I could stare all day
Honey, I think I'm falling for you...
The thoughts in my head...
Oh they tell me not to
They know you are only going to cause trouble
But my heart...
It can't stay away from you
I see you and I lose all train of thought
I hear you speak
And my eyes go wide
All I can hear is you
In a crowded room you are all I can see
Babe, my head says "no"
My heart says "yes"
I don't know what to do
You've got me between the devil and the angel
Are you really worth my time?
Do you even notice me when I walk by you?
I know we're friends...
But I still feel so invisible to you
Hypothetically speaking...
I'll say yes...
What happens now?
Oh, you're giving me your hoodie to wear?
And a shirt to sleep in?
Oh, how thoughtful of you...
Dear god it only makes me miss you more to think about things like this
What if this were to really happen?
I would be so happy...
Honey, my head says "no"
My heart says "yes"
And I know if I took the risk and said yes
I would probably only get hurt
But are you worth it?
You're the only one that can tell me otherwise
So let's find out before you drive me to insanity with everything you've got to offer
Can we try this out?
We've been friends for so long...
Would it hurt?
Ready?
Set
Go
He comes up to her and he says
"Listen girl, you're drivin' me crazy and I want you so bad"
"Then just ask me and I'll be yours"
"Will you be mine?"
"All you had to do was kiss me"
They kiss, and her heart flies, her head spins
His eyes close, and he let's his body take over
Two months later she said...
"Happy two months baby, I love you"
"Love bug, I can't imagine my life without you anymore"
"Darling, I know the feeling..."
Sweetie, you are my life
You are my love
When I sleep against your chest, all I can do is move in closer, and cling to you
Hoping that you will never let me go
Five years later, he kneels on his knee and says
"Baby, will you marry me and be with me forever, make me the happiest man in the world?"
She stops in her tracks, tears start to roll down her face as she is breathless
"Baby please don't cry..."
"Yes"
In her wedding gown she flows so gently to him
He waits for her at the end of the long trained carpet
The veil covers her face as she walks down the aisle
All you can see is a gorgeous girl, in a gorgeous white gown, blushing because she's so happy inside
"I do"
"I do"
Four years later she sits with the kids reading them a bed time story
He comes in, kisses her on the forehead, and says
"Baby, this is how I pictured us so many years ago"
All she can do is stare at him with eyes full of gleam
As the years pass by, they grow old together
The kids are all grown up
And now they have grandchildren
He turns to her and says
"Darling, what is the matter?"
She stares at him with eyes full of tears
He questions her again
"What's wrong"
"Nothing honey, this is how everything should be, exactly how I pictured it when I was sixteen years old."
The next day
They didn't wake up
They died, in each others arms
So peaceful
Nobody cried
Nobody mourned
Everyone knew that this was how they wanted things
Become high school sweethearts
Marry each other
Have kids together
Live together
Breathe together
Die together
This is how they wanted it
And this is
Exactly
How it happened
And then
She woke up
And tears
Strolled down her face
She cried for hours
Knowing, that this
Would never
Happen

Oh wow... Way to make me almost lose faith in young love, the story was beyond beautiful! I really love this, even thugh it is really long it felt so much shorter. Thank you for entering.

Where you say "You've got me between the devil and the angle", 'angle' should be 'angel'. You've been doing to much geometry homework. And when you say "The veil covers her face as she walks down the isle", 'isle' should be 'aisle'. Otherwise, it was beautiful.
Great write!
