"shawn, focus" i thought to myself and began singing again. i had a new single coming out in 5 days, as you can guess it was about lauren. it was called "never be alone," i wrote it mostly to help her cope with me being gone all the time. everyday she would text me telling me how much she missed me, the least i could do was this.
i finished up in the studio and drove to laur's house. she opened the door, her green eyes lighting up. i hugged her tightly, picking her up from the ground.
her short legs hung in the air as we held each other tightly.
"i missed you so much, mendes" i hated hearing that, she shouldn't have too. actually no one should have to miss someone. if only it was a perfect world.
i set her down and we walked inside to her room.
"i have a small surprise for you, sit"
laur smiled softly and sat down. i grabbed her guitar off the stand and started strumming the cords.
"i promise that one day
I'll be around
I'll keep you safe,
I'll keep you sound
right now it's pretty crazy
and I don't know how to
stop or slow it down
hey, i know there are
some things we need to
talk about
and I can't stay
just let me hold
you for a little
longer now
take a piece of my heart
and make it all your own
so when we are apart
you'll never be alone
you'll never be alone
when you miss me
close your eyes
i may be far
but never gone
when you fall asleep
tonight just remember
that we lay under
the same stars
and hey, I know there
are some things we
need to talk about
and I can't stay
just let me hold
you for a little
longer now
and take a piece of my heart
and make it all your own
so when we are apart
you'll never be alone
and take a piece of my heart
and make it all your own
so when we are apart
never be alone.
you'll never be alone"
i sang in almost a whisper, as if i was trying not to wake someone. the song was so much more passionate and meaningful with the soft touch. laur practically jumped into my arms. she didn't say anything, just held onto me. we simply sat in each others arms in comfortable silence. it was one of the best feelings ever.
