"What I feel right now
I've never felt before
What I see in you
I totally adore
What I want right now
Is you by my side
I promise it will be
One of life's best rides..."


I turn my face against the sky. The rain hits my eyelids and runs down the sides of my face. My muscles relax and the corners of my mouth rise into a smile. It feels good.

I open my arms and begin to slowly spin. The air is filled with my laugh and I keep on spinning until I trip and fall. It does not bother me though and I just lay down on the wet grass.

My heart is pounding wildly, and I am filled with too much happiness. I have never felt better in my whole life. It only took me about five years to see what had been in front of my face the whole time. My feelings are running circles in my head and it feels like I am still spinning.

I must admit being in love is quite weird already but being in love and denying it is worse.

To be honest I can call myself an expert in this by now.

For a while, I lay on the meadow and enjoy the feeling of the water dripping down on me. But then at some time, the rain stops and leaves me laying on the grass, freezing, but I still stay like I am and keep thinking about the last few weeks.

Slowly it starts to get even colder, and it makes me start to shake. My limbs are getting stiff when I get up in the slowest way possible. By now my clothes are sticking to my body, because of how wet they are.

I run my fingers through my hair and find it tangled and maybe even wetter than my clothes. A smile runs across my face when I see that the spotlights of the Lacrosse field are turning on automatically, because of how dark it is by now.

I am alone and it bothers me a little bit. I would love to have my best friend by my side right now. She would probably be the only one who would understand the way I am feeling and how happy it makes me.

Still drunk with the feeling of happiness I start to make my way off the pitch and try to get the water out of my clothes.

I cross the campus of our school, walk past the little diner where we always meet after practice and talk about whatever crosses our minds and follow the road towards my parent's house.

Again, my heart starts pounding like crazy and another wave of happiness runs me over when I remember that that is the place where the reason for my happiness lies in. I cannot help but scream out my happiness into the world.

I start running down the street, jumping in the air and laughing. Probably waking up all of the neighbours.

After some time, I stop in front of my house and take in a deep breath. I open the door, tell my mother who just came back a few minutes ago that I was with my best friend and hurry up the stairs into my room. There I jump onto my bed, lay down and stare to the ceiling. I am still smiling like crazy and the corners of my mouth are starting to hurt.

I close my eyes, trying to recall the best evening of my life. I have to think about how happy everything now makes me and that this could be compared to a paradise. A paradise I could call my own personal one.

I lay awake for a few more minutes and think about my perfect little paradise and without noticing I slowly shift into an incredibly happy and lovely dream revolving around the word paradise. My mind builds a whole world around it and when I am going to wake up, I will find exactly that world right in front of my eyes. Because my little paradise is true and real, and I love it.
