02/01/2009 Laying underneath the blankets, covered in darkness, is where we share our secrets. We've been best friends since I can remember. We are complete opposites. He is a guy and I am a girl. We couldn't be more opposite than that. We sleepover each others houses, he gives me advice, I give him opinions. We're there for each other, He's my knight and shining armor. He protects me, keeps me safe, watches over me. I remember how jealous he got when I had a boyfriend. He'd always find a reason to hate them. It made me laugh how he was always trying to show off and pretend how big and tough he thought he was, but I knew how he really was, inside he was as soft as a marshmellow and he wouldn't hurt anyone, unless they deserved. That night, he showed me just how much he cares. I was out with a boyfriend, a very aggresive boy. I wouldn't give into his demands, so he forcefully tried to make his moves on me, after several attempts to remove different articles of my clothing, and me squirming, screaming, and crying, HE came, tossed the boy off of me, and gave him a good punch in the groin. From that day on, I knew who I was in love with. Still laying under the covers, thinking about past experiences, I decided to tell him how I felt. How I had strong feelings for him and how I wanted and longed for him to be with me. How he always made me feel loved and safe. The way he hugged me when we said our hellos, and the tight embraces and looks we share after our goodbyes. He was truly the one I want to spend my life with. I woudln't want to see any other guy but him on the alter, wearing his tuxedo, and me with my mothers white wedding dress, holding each others hands, saying our vows, speeches, and I do's. So I scooted in closer to him, feeling his warm heart beat aganist my nervous chest, I ran my hand through his hair, loving the feeling. I pulled him by the neck, close, closer, until our faces were a mere inch away from one another, then with slight hesitation, I leaned in all the way, kissing him passionately, letting go of all the feelings I've been keeping in for so long. The kiss was hot and intense, and after a few seconds, he looked me in the eyes, I sensed he knew what I was thinking and feeling, and without warning, he scooped me off the bed, carried me through the threshold of the door, and softly whispered, "I love you" and with that, he put me down, we walked hand in hand outside and into the rain, where we shared yet another kiss. He gives me a light kiss on the forehead, the source of where my emotions first start to go crazy. He bends down on one knee, I ask him what he's doing, he looks up and tells me he's tying his shoe. I look away embaressed of the thought I was thinking, how stupid I felt. Then I look back to see him looking me in the eyes, face drenched with water from the heavy rain shower, and a diamond ring shining in his hand. "We've been best friends for years now. You are truly one amazing woman and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather spend my life with than you. I promise to make you the happiest girl in the world. Will you make my life completely, be my queen, and marry me?" He said to me, I could hear the seriousness in his voice. He smiled that beautiful smile of his that just warms me up inside. He places the ring on my finger, and I softly whispered, "I do." He stands up and holds me in his arms, kissing me. The rain slowly begins to stop. The after math of the rain leaves a pretty rainbow. I stare in awe of how amazing it looks and how the sun appears out from behind the clouds. He looks at me, leans close to my ear and whispers, "A beautiful rainbow cannot compare to the beauty in which you hold within. You exceed the word amazing." I feel myself begin to blush and give him a peck on the lips. We find a place by a near by tree and sit down, he sits aganist the strong big tree trunk, and I lay aganist his big strong body, placing my head on his chest, inhaling his scent and listening to his heart beat, every beat meant for me, and I start to think, the grass is always greener on the other side, and now I'll be able to experience that with him, my finance, my lover, my best friend. But all of a sudden, everything goes black. I feel as if I'm suffocating. I am being held back by something, I move this way, I move that way, then I surface. I move away what was blocking my view. The covers on my bed, I look next to me. An empty bed, I'm all alone, the broken window letting in cold breezes and I am slowly freezing to death. It was only a dream. Do dream mean or represent something? Is it prediction or only desire of what I want reality to be? I guess I'll just always be alone, in the dark, with no one to tell my confessions to... |
