Our Love Song

When your legs don't work like they used to before...

Yes! This is my chance to tell Janan how I feel! Perfect timing DJ! I led my best friend, A.K.A. my first love, outside onto the garden outside of the house.

We were currently at one of the formal parties our parents dragged us to. I, for one, was actually excited to go to this one. Since out parents were co-workers, this was one of their business parties. They were usually busy talking to the employees for the company and just left us to do whatever we wanted. We were also one of the only teenagers here. I guess you could say that we became best friends through the same suffering of boredom during these parties.

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

We slow danced. Her arms were linked around my neck, and my hands were holding her waist. I was wondering how she would react when I would tell her. Would our friendship change? Does she feel the same?

Snap out of it Howard! I scolded myself. I was here on a mission; to tell her how I felt about her. And nothing was going to stop me from this, even myself.

"And, darling, I will, be loving you 'til we're seventy," I sang to her. She was shocked when I started. She stopped dancing and looked up at me. I took this moment to study her face. She was truly beautiful, and hopefully would be mine.

She blushed and asked "What?"

Oh man, did I say that out loud?

"Yep." She smirked and started singing too, "So, honey, now, take me into your loving arms. Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars. Place your hand on my beating heart..."

My heart was literally beating out of my chest when she placed her hand near it. Is she trying to say that she likes me too?

"No, and you're thinking out loud again." Her smirk deepened while my heart dropped. She doesn't like me back... Janan lifted my chin to look at her. "I don't like you, I love you Howard." My heart just did a double flip inside of me. She loves me too!

"Well, I guess it's both our lucky days 'cuz I love you too." I finally said it. I said I loved her. Mission accomplished!

She continued to smirk. "Mission huh? You made a plan to say 'I love you' to me?"

I blushed. "Yeah..." We started to sing the lyrics to the song back and forth to each other. " 'Cause honey, your soul could never grow old, it's ever green..."

"And, honey, you're smile's forever in my mind, and memory.." She sang. We stopped singing and just continued to sway while our foreheads leaned against one another.

Janan was truly beautiful, inside and out. I hope she could be my true love, and that our relationship wuld only grow. We've been best friends ever since our parents became co-workers for the same company and became friends. And since we've also been to the same school as each other since kindergarden, we've always been there for each other. There was only one more thing that I had to do, and I was just waiting for the chorus to start up.

But, baby, now...

I lifted her chin to look up at me.

Take me into your loving arms..

I brought her closer to me.

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars...

Then I kissed her. My best friend just took my first kiss, and I just took hers. We stayed like that for the rest of the song.

And we found love right where we are.

And we did. We found love without having to look far, just to the person who was beside us everyday. This was our story of how we confessed. And this was our love song that made that happen.
