Bad Dreams //mgc

1.

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own
Wasted days and sleepless nights
And I can't wait to see you again
I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call
How can I tell you, babe
My back's against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright
'Cause I don't think I can take anymore

"Happy birthday beautiful!"

"Thank you, for this, for all this!"

"Did I do good baby?"

"You. Did. Wonderful!" I replied, giggling and pecking his lips between each word. I look around the yard at the rope lights lining the fence, floating candles of pink and blue on the surface of the pool, the bonfire burning bright, with our closest friends surrounding it. I watch them and smile as they all laugh at each other, beers in hand, and smiles on their faces. I turn my head back to the gorgeous man I'm slowdancing with 15 feet away and get swallowed up in his beautiful blue eyes. As the music continues, we gaze into each others eyes full of love and devotion..

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
'Cause it's really got ahold on me

Suddenly, TJ pulls out of our embrace, reaches into his pocket, and drops to one knee. The music stops, and the chatter and bantering of our friends seizes. The only sounds I can hear at this moment are the pounding of my heart and my rapid breaths as I realize what my boyfriend of three years is about to do.

"Cara Grace Davidson, The day you walked into our 11th grade history class, was the day I knew that you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It hasn't been easy, but it's been the most incredible three years of my life. I plan on making the next three years times 30 even better, with you, if you'll have me. Cara, will you marry me?"

"Of course you dumbshit! Of course I'll marry you!" I exclaim. All our friends start yelling and hollering out their joys as I cup his face and kiss him with all my heart. Suddenly, we're surrounded in a large group hug that can't remain still. Before I know it, the circle opens up as TJ and I are shoved in the pool, followed by all our now drunk friends jumping in behind us, fully clothed.

This night has been more than wonderful, it has been perfect.
