Doesn't Get Better Than This

Chapter 20

A couple of hours later, Ally & I are in bed trying to relax. The lights are off and I'm laying beside her. I thought Ally would instantly fall asleep, since she was up all day, but she was tossing and turning uncomfortably. I turn over and place a hand on her shoulder, "What's wrong?" I ask her. "Ugh, I don't know. I just don't feel that sleepy, but I'm so tired." Ally shuts her eyes and sighs, she seems like she's almost about to cry. I rub my hand up and down her arm for a second and then get up out of bed. Ally looks at me confused. "I'll be right back." I say as I head downstairs to grab my guitar. Music always soothed her, and I know this would help.

When I get back to our room, she's sitting up waiting on me. She smiles when she sees my guitar. I have a perfect song in mind, so I go and sit down at the end of the bed and begin to play,

It was like a movie

When I first met you

The moment moved me

I still remember

Your soul of beauty

It stole me away, away

Richer or poorer

Better or worse

Could we be together

Could we make it work

If love is patient

And if love is kind

Oh God, give me a sign

You've got me thinking

This is love, this is love, this is love that I'm feeling

This is love, this is love, this is love I believe it

I'll kiss you only

Darling, I promise

To hold you gently

And still be the strongest

I'm yours completely

No matter what comes our way

I'll love you til the end of my days

Til the end of my days

Could've never imagined

We'd find each other

A classic romantic

Of unlikely lovers

Some kind of magic

How two can turn into one, to one

For rich or poor

Better or worse

We'll be together

Yeah, we'll make it work

Love is patient

I know love is kind

Thank God I saw the sign

You've got me thinking

This is love, this is love, this is love that I'm feeling

This is love, this is love, this is love I believe it

I'll kiss you only

Darling, I promise

To hold you gently

And still be the strongest

I'm yours completely

No matter what comes our way

I'll love you til the end of my days

Til the end of my days

Till the end of my days

Till the end of my days

Run, run, run, run with me

As one, one, one, we will dream

Of a beautiful love mystery

So run, run, run, run with me

Till the end of my days

Till the end of my days

Till the end our days

I'll love you til the end of our days

Till the end of our days

I finish my soft, acoustic rendition of the For King & Country song and look over at Ally. She is smiling and looks over at me, "I love you Austin." "I love you too." I tell her.

I lean my guitar against the wall and crawl in bed beside Ally. I wrap my arms around her, and in moments I hear the steady rhythm of her breathing while she dreamed.
