How to Save a Life

Chapter 7

"Oh no, did I get too close?

Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?

All your insecurities

All the dirty laundry

Never made me blink one time"

My mind drifts away...to a new world. Where my true feelings show-without hesitation. Without warning.

"Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally"

'I will always love you...Unconditionally.'

"Come just as you are to me

Don't need apologies

Know that you are worthy

I'll take your bad days with your good

Walk through the storm I would

I do it all because I love you, I love you"

'I love you...just how you are.'

"Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally"

"So open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart"

"Acceptance is the key to be

To be truly free

Will you do the same for me?"

My mind instantly pops with a question: 'Did he ever except me...for my flaws? For who I really was?'

"Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

And there is no fear now

Let go and just be free

'Cause I will love you unconditionally

I will love you

I will love you

I will love you unconditionally"

'You may not love me anymore...but I still love you...Brice.' Tears roll down my face as I remember, wishing to go back.

It was fall...not too hot or cool. We were surrounded by many things. Roller coasters, food stands, random booths ranging from contests to shirts to pictures. Laughter runs through the fair grounds as people ride and play games. My and him were together...holding hands. We both wore shades as the sun was high in the october sky, bearing down on the park-this once a year event. My hair was a mess, my coka-cola t-shirt was a bit baggy, but I didn't care...I was happiest as long as I was with him. He looks at me and smiles.

As we were walking around,we passed the ferris wheel and decided to join the line of waiting people. As we waited, I felt him gently hold my hand in his and smiled. He looked at me with a smile and pulled me closer.
We reach the front very quickly and get through to the actual ride.

As we came near the top, I looked over to see nearly the whole park. I looked back at Brice and smile. All these years, I've waited for a guy like him to find me. Going through many heart breaks-from abusive boyfriends to boyfriends who didn't care or like me whatsoever. My wait was finally over...I had finally found him after nearly giving up on love. He was my light at the end of the long tunnel of struggles and despair.
