We met again in a bar after weeks of trying to recover from Beck and all the chaos but it's worth it because it brought me to you. You were on stage singing like the angel I always knew you were.
"Each time I cling to your kiss. I hear music divine…"
Damn, you were a godsend. Your eyes scanned the crowd as if you were searching for me. 'Im here now, sorry for the wait,Viv.' my drink deserted as I made my way closer but off to the side.
"My arms enfolding you ,Never knew this thrill before."
The crowd ran silently as you sang. my eyes narrowed as a few idiots gawked and snickered at your figure. Don't worry about them, none of them deserve to be in the same room as you.
"Whoever thought I'd be holding you close to me,
Whispering "It's You I adore","
your eyes continue their search through the face in the crowd then narrow in my area. Did you see me? It's me. We can finally start over. Let me be here for you.
"If you should leave me, Each little dream would take wing.
And my life would be…through,"
finally, your eyes met mine with a gasp. A million thoughts ran through your face as you recovered. never blinking as if I'll disappear. 'adorable'
You continue, your breath quickens, and a smile creeps into the corners of your lips.
"Besame o Besame Mucho, Love me forever,
and make all my dreams come true"
Cheers rang through the room as you took off as if nothing else mattered. your ran ended with a jump into my arms and suddenly all was right in this terrible world again. "Hey, Viv!" I said with the biggest smile on my face. "Oh my god, you're actually here! Holy s--t, I can't believe it, Joe. I admit it took me a second to recognize you all the way in the cut like this, ah f--k; I missed you so much." your voice muffled as you spoke a mile a minute into my chest. Your arms slowly come from around my neck as I put you down. We both noticed the next singer come up to the stage with an amp. "Wanna get outta here?" I whisper in your ear and you hold back a shiver as my hand grazes your lower back. "Yeah, mine isn't far from here."
Finally, you're back in my arms, right where you belong. All these years apart, I'd still hear your voice when they spoke. I felt your touch in theirs. None of that was even close to love, none of them could compare to what we had. Back in the system, it was just us against it all. You wore your tight curls in braids like you didn't know anything else. You were always so tiny, and your clothes never fit quite right but you never minded, did you. All the more fabric to hide inside. Even then, all I wanted was to swoop you up and never let you go but I couldn't. For that, I'm sorry and I'll gladly spend the rest of our forever making up for it.
The long years apart changed you. Chipping black nails now turned to long red fake ones. Huge sweaters were long forgotten for cardigans and tight dresses. Those messy braids were now a billow of curls. I loved it all and You knew I would, didn't you? With all that changed, some things never would. The way your brown skin lit up beneath the sunlight and how your eyes met mine as if it was the first time every time.
