In Which I Cry Tears of Joy

Start from the beginning
                                    

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."

I reach him, and he laughs softly.

"Cheesy much?" He whispers.

"Nothing less for you, dear." I whisper back, and face him.

"Today, marks a very happy occasion, in which man and woman unite... Again... To form one." The priest mentions our first wedding, making us both laugh.

"Cody Wyatt Maze, would you take, Riley Ann Greg/Maze, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He nods his head furiously.

"Yes. I do. Of course." I laugh, and wipe a tear off my cheek.

"Riley Ann Greg... Or Maze... Whichever you go by, do you take Cody Wyatt Maze to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I nod.

"Well, I wouldn't be here if I didn't." The crowd laughs.

"Great. Then, by the grace of God and the good state of North Carolina, I grant you to be, man and wife. Kiss your bride, bro." Cody and I laugh, and he kisses me. The kiss lasts for a while, and then we run away. The photographer puts us in the woods, and takes a bunch of photos.

We go to the reception hall, and a good song comes on.

"Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it." I sing along with the music, and I dance with Carly.

"[Kid Ink:]
OK, I tell her bring it back like she left some-
Bring it bring it back like she left some-
In the club with the lights off
Whatchu acting shy for?
Come and show me that you're with it with it with it with it with it
Stop playing, now you know that I'm with it with it with it with it with it with it
Whatchu acting shy for?

Just gimme you, just gimme you
Just gimme you, that's all I wanna do
And if what they say is true
If it's true, I might give me to you
I may talk a lot of stuff
Guaranteed, I can back it up
I think I'm a call you bluff
Hurry up, I'm waitin' out front

Uh huh, you see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh show me what you got
'Cause I don't wanna waste my time
Uh huh see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh show me what you got now
Come and make it worth my while

Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it

It's all on you, it's all on you
It's all on you, so what you wanna do?
And if you don't have a clue
Not a clue, I'll tell you what to do
Come harder just because
I don't like it, like it too soft
I like it a little rough
Not too much, but maybe just enough

Uh huh, you see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh show me what you got
'Cause I don't wanna waste my time
Uh huh see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh, show me what you got now
Come and make it worth my while

Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it (know what I mean?)
Baby, I'm worth it (give me everything)
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it

[Kid Ink:]
OK
I tell her bring it back like she left some-
Bring it bring it back like she left some-
In the club with the lights off
Whatchu acting shy for?
Come and show me that you're with it with it with it with it with it
Stop playing, now you know that I'm with it with it with it with it with it
Whatchu acting shy for?

Uh huh, you see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh show me what you got
'Cause I don't wanna waste my time
Uh huh see me in the spotlight
"Ooh I love your style"
Uh huh, show me what you got now
Come and make it worth my while

Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it
Give it to me, I'm worth it (know what I mean?)
Baby, I'm worth it (give me everything)
Uh huh I'm worth it
Gimme gimme I'm worth it

Give it to me, I'm worth it." I finish singing, and laugh.

"Thank you for coming!" I yell, smiling. Cody kisses me, and I know from now on, it will be okay.

Maybe.
