When you first came up to me
Nothing but a leaf in a pond
You sent ripples across the water;
For a loner like me
Who kept to himself in the classroom
Minding his own business
Was stunned to have his solitude broken
By someone like you
Who shouldn't even have glanced my way
And then you asked me
"Could I copy your notes?"
It was plain and clear;
That was the only reason anyone would approach me
And yet I obliged;
Little did i know
Of the things that were to come.
When you tagged along with me for lunch
Following me
To my spot under the great oak
Under the hot Australian sun;
Your bubbly personality
Puzzling me greatly
As to your true motives
To getting closer to me;
Why are you following me around?
I demanded to know
As you sat next to me;
Without a care of my tone
You gave my question some thought;
"The people who crave solitude are the ones that crave company"
Sent ripples across my waters;
Cracking the exterior
I built upon my solitude;
Little did I know
Of what fate had in store for us.
When you caught your boyfriend cheating
You first came to me;
Your tears of heartache
Sending ripples across my waters
As a rain cloud descended over you
Drip drop onto my sweater;
Hugging onto me
As I gave you pats on the back;
And as you sobbed
Your beauty never faded;
Shaking my heart
And making my world quake;
Little did I know
Of what was to come from this.
When you first kissed me
It felt like the stars glowed brighter;
We were both at prom
You asked me to be your date;
I saw you in your beautiful dress
In the same colour as your name;
A lone rose in the garden
As you made your way to me;
Friends we were before that night
But we never thought we might
End up as lovers by that night;
How little did I know that kiss
Would seal our fate beyond that day.
When you first stepped foot upon the stage
Amongst the applause you've always craved;
In the crowd I stood up front
Cheering along as you performed;
Holding up the largest sign
Amongst all those around my side;
"Rose is my girlfriend" showing above everyone else
But you were indeed my only one;
As you disembarked the stage
I held you in my warm embrace;
Feeling tears of pride drop
From the person that I love so much;
I realized from that moment on
That you would be my only one.
When you said yes to me
As I dropped to one knee
In a garden of roses that I grew for you
I felt like the happiest boy in the world;
Not an exaggeration, nor an understatement
Just pure unadulterated happiness;
As I slipped on the pink diamond ring
And you proclaimed to be my fiancee;
You whispered in my ear
Telling me that you knew
From day one
That I was your meant to be.
When I watched you walk down the aisle
As elegant as a swan
Towards me
Dressed in your snow-white dress;
I never felt euphoria
Until I saw you;
As your father placed your hand in mine
Smiling as he holds in his tears of joy
I feel tears of my own
Threatening to cascade right there and then
As I took off the veil hiding
The person I loved the most;
As we exchanged our vows
And slipped on our wedding rings;
It was then I finally realized
That we were always meant to be;
And when we kissed
To the backdrop of claps and cheers;
I now knew that I was with my one and only.
A/N: bit of a departure from the usual stories, and with inspiration from drn_160 the original story became a poem (of sorts)!
Please let me know what you guys think about this format!!
