After we took a shower Paige and I settled in for the night. My mind was racing and I was pretty sure I wasn't gonna sleep. We turned on the TV and watched a movie. Paige fell asleep in my arms about halfway through. I stayed up most of the night not being able to sleep. I got out of bed ever so quietly trying not to wake up Paige. I got out my song book.

"Might as well finish the song" I said to myself. I spent about 2 hours but I finally finished the song. I lightly played the notes on the Piano.

"Oh, I saw the truth

When I first layed eyes on you

I didnt know it but my life had changed

In ways I couldnt rearrange and all I saw was you

You burn bright like fire in the pouring rain those things

I couldnt explain

Oh, what i saw in you

Take me I'm ready go slow but

Go stedy to a place that we can call out home

I wanna know what feels like home

Take me I'm rady go slow

But go stedy to a place

That we can call our own I wanna know what feels like home

To you

Oh, but now back in the real world

Back in this ordinary town I want to

Feel it all with you

I'm so tired of trying to

Fight away the things

I couldnt hide and say

That all I want was you

Take me I'm ready go slow but

Go stedy to a place that we can call out home

I wanna know what feels like home

Take me I'm rady go slow

But go stedy to a place

That we can call our own I wanna know what feels like home

To you"

I opened my eyes and looked up from the piano to see Paige leaning against the wall. The second I saw her my stomach turned I wasnt gonna show her the song yet

She walked toward me.

"Babe, I didn't know you could sing you just keep surprising me."

"Oh ummm you weren't supposed to hear that I didn't want to wake you up"

"Baby that was beautiful your voice is amazing"

I smiled and looked at the ground. I have never sang in front of anyone but Gabby.

"When did you write it?"

"I started before the trip and then I finished it just now"

"What's it about?"

I chuckle and look at my girlfriend

"You"

Paige's face lit up with joy and I saw a tear roll down her eye

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Nobodys has ever written a song about me"

"Aww baby I would do anything for you"

"Really?"

"Yes"

"Okay, can you play it again?"

I laughed and looked back down at the piano, debating whether I should.

"I promise we can go straight back to bed after"

I laughed, it was like she could read my mind.

"Fine, one more time and then sleep"

I played the song the whole way through again this time knowing Paige was in the room. She looked at me with so much intensity and love that I stumbled over a couple of parts but she just smiled at me and let me keep going. I finished the song again and Paige came over to sit across my lap.

"You never cease to amaze me Aj"

She gave me a quick peck on the lips before grabbing my hands and slowly dragging me back towards the bedroom. She flopped down on the bed and dragged me down with her, getting under the covers and snuggling up to my chest.

"Thankyou"

"For what baby?"

"This.. all of it.. the song, making our first time so special"

"Hey, you don't need to thank me for that, I love you and you know I'd do anything for you"

She smiled up at me before snuggling back down.

"I love you too Aj"

"Now come on you sound exhausted, get some sleep"

Paige yawned but looked up at me again.

"Only if you promise to get some sleep too"

"I promise, now go the fuck to bed"

Paige laughed and gave me a little salute before snuggling back down, Paige eventually drifting off to sleep, the smell of her and the comfort and warmth she provided was enough to eventually lull me to sleep. I was proud to have finally finished the song and showed it to her regardless if I intended to or not, that relief of stress probably went a long way in helping me sleep too.
