His Name Was Noah

We had our Welcome Back ceremony on my second day of school. Noah texted me saying hope you enjoy it. As soon as I walked in, Thinking Out Loud started playing. Mine and Noah's song. When I sat down the presentation started but then, it was shut down. The lights went out and the curtain was closed. A guitar started playing. I knew who's guitar it was.

I don't know if you were looking at me or not

You probably smile like that all the time

 And I don't mean to bother you but I couldn't just walk by

 And not say hi

And I know your name

 'Cause everybody in here knows your name

And you're not looking for anything right now

So I don't wanna come on strong

But don't get me wrong

Your eyes are so intimidating

My heart is pounding but

It's just a conversation

 No girl I'm not wasted

 You don't know me

 I don't know you but I want to

I don't wanna steal your freedom

 I don't wanna change your mind

I don't have to make you love me

I just wanna take your time

I don't wanna wreck your Friday

 I ain't gonna waste my lines

 I don't have to take your heart

I just wanna take your time

And I know it starts with hello

And the next thing you know you're trying to be nice

And some guys getting too close

Trying to pick you up

Trying to get you drunk

And I'm sure one of your friends is about to come over here

 'Cause she's supposed to save you from random guys

That talk too much and wanna stay too long

It's the same old song and dance but I think you know it well

You could've rolled your eyes

Told me to go to hell

 Could've walked away

 But you're still here

And I'm still here

Come on let's see where it goes

I don't wanna steal your freedom

I don't wanna change your mind

I don't have to make you love me

I just wanna take your time

I don't have to meet your mother

We don't have to cross that line

I don't wanna steal your covers

 I just wanna take your time

I don't wanna go home with you

I just wanna be alone with you

I don't wanna steal your freedom

 I don't wanna change your mind

 I don't have to make you love me

I just wanna take your time

I don't wanna blow your phone up

I just wanna blow your mind

 I don't have to take your heart

I just wanna take your time

No, I ain't gotta call you baby

And I ain't gotta call you mine

 I don't have to take your heart

I just wanna take your time

The curtain opened after the first few lines and Noah was standing there. Looking right at me. when he finished, he nodded for me to come up. I ran up there and hugged him. "Noah what are you ding here? I thought you went back to Mississippi?" "No, actually, I have a surprise." "What is it?" Then the principle walked onto the stage. Uh oh. "Class of 2017, meet your new Junior peer. Noah Lynch." "I look at Noah. "You go here?" "I go here." "Just for me." "Not just for you. We moved here for you and I." "For us?" "For us."

I kissed that boy right there in front of the whole school and I didn't care. I'm in love with this boy and he moved 12 hours away from home just to be with a girl. I fell in love with a boy in the summer of 15. He was there for me through everything. Thick and Thin. He sacrificed so much for me and I fell in love with him. A wonderful, heart melting, handsome, funny, caring guy. His name was Noah...
