I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Back before she came, I was the leader. The one everyone looked up to and the one everyone feared. But then she came along and suddenly people looked down on me and no one feared me - except for her. And maybe that's why I love her. She feared me but still wanted us to be friends: even after the way I treated her early on.
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
She made everyone turn their backs to me. I was alone. Even my best friend couldn't stick by my side for very long. She took everything away from me...including my heart. She took my captaincy. no longer was I leader - these people just became my teammates, not my followers.
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
I don't even know why I thought for a second that anyone would stand by me, especially the way I treated them. But the one that I treated the worst was there for me the most when I needed help. I tried to scare her away early on, but she proved to me that I needed someone...I needed her - in my life and my heart.
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
As soon as Michelle came along, nobody wanted me as captain. So it was no surprise that they removed me from that position and forced me out of the studio. She took it from me, and it made me feel like I didn't belong - which is why I went to Elite. But, as it turned out, she was the one who truly made The Next Step feel like home. She's the reason why I came back.
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
As soon as I returned home, the team grew respect for me as I did the same for them. I was welcomed back - even after all I had done - and even offered the position of co-captain alongside Michelle. My answer was yes because, for her, it always is.
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I was even welcomed back by the boy whose heart I broke, and I figured he was the only one who cared - the only one who would want me. But I was wrong...so wrong.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
After Eldon and I got together, Michelle stopped talking to me. I thought it might have been because she liked Eldon, but as I later found out, it was quite the opposite. I don't understand how I was so oblivious to the feelings she had for me when I had the same ones for her, but I'm glad we sorted everything out. Even if it was right before we went on stage for the finals at regionals.
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
From that day on, we found solace in each other. We kept it to ourselves until I made the decision to leave the studio. Why would I stay if I could no longer dance? "for me!" she tried to reason, but it was the only things and it wasn't strong enough to stop me from exploring new things. Including new relationships once we broke up. None of them lasted, and I think I knew why.
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never a honest word
When we next reunited, A Troupe was completely different from how I left it - but Michelle was still there. The one constant through the past few years. Just seeing the blonde locks made me realise I was home. Michelle was my home, and I'm so glad she felt the same.
Working next to each other forced us back to the way we were, forced us back into each others arms and back onto each other's lips - those lips I missed so much.
And that was when I ruled the world
For so long I tried to force myself to believe that I was was the ruler of my own world. But now I know Michelle rules my world. And I wouldn't want it any other way.
If only she would stay.
a/n sorry it took a bit for me to update. This was meant to be out days ago, but I just couldn't find the time as I have been so busy since Christmas. I hope you all had a nice holiday season and are looking forward to the new year (much like I am).
Don't forget to comment if you would like a third installment and what couples you would like to see, with any ideas you may have.
Have a happy new year and I'll see you early on in the year with a new update.
