Page 31 of Chasing After You
Darlin’ won’t you dance with me, let me hold you in my arms
So that you might find, whirring in your mind, all that I already know
Fate don’t come ‘round often, but I think this might be it.
Now babe your heart’s not telling lies, feel your hand inside of mine, yeah, it’s a perfect fit.
Baby, you’re my first thought, every single morning
And once I think that first thought of you girl, yeah, they just keep on comin’
How your eyes are like the blue sea, deep pools of mystery,
Got a smile that shines a light, if it’s day or if it’s night
Loving you’s the stars and the moon and the sun
Darlin’, you’re the one
First thought, first kiss, first love, girl I swear it’s fate
Baby, you’re my first thought, every single morning
And once I think that first thought of you girl, yeah, they just keep on comin’
How your heart is so wide open, always lovin’
Don’t got no fear in you at all, if you leap or if you fall
Loving you’s the stars and the moon and the sun
Darlin’, you’re the one
Baby, you’re my first thought, every single morning
And once I think that first thought of you girl, yeah, they just keep on comin’
Like how you make me laugh out, laugh so damn hard now
Then your words they spin my mind, make me wonder all the time
Loving you’s the stars and the moon and the sun
Darlin’, you’re the one
Baby, you’re my first thought
Every single morning.
By the end of our song, we’ve slow-danced our way all the way around the fire. I don’t know if we did it intentionally or if it was just the natural flow of things, same as it was the first time around, but as we’re busy recreating the original, it’s fitting we wound up encircling the flames with a smoldering heat of our own.
And there’s definitely heat. Ness can put as much distance between us as she wants, the pull between us will always bringher back, and the spark that lives inside us will always come back to a roaring flame when she does.
“I really believed you, you know,” she whispers, head resting on my shoulder, arms wrapped around me tightly. “Every word of that song. I believed it.”
“So did I.” I still do. She needs to know it. I don’t care if she’s still confused about us. There’s no way she’s wanting to move on when she’s here so willing to go back in time with me.
“Nessa – “
