the best thing.

we were in the room. i could still picture the moment as if it was yesterday. for that point in time, i thought that nothing could go wrong for us. i felt like i could take on the world. this was basically it, all that i needed; the best thing that has ever happened to me. the best thing. discreetly i wondered, what did i do to deserve such good fortune? it was then i remembered the words. and i sang to her, every single word and line treated like an oath, a promise.


"We should get jerseys cause we make a great team
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're out of my league
And I know that it's so cliche to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
It's jealousy, they can see that we've got it going on

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
You're okay with the way this is going to be
This is going to be the best thing that we've ever seen

Or maybe I'm just lucky cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me
And I know that it's so cliche to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on

If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I got to say is I must have done something good
You came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I got to say is I must have done something right
I must have done something right

...

All my life I've been searching for you
How did I survive in this world before you
Cuz I don't wanna live another day without you now

Cos when I looked into your eyes
And you dared to stare right back
You should've said "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"

This is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

Always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamt
It'd be like this
You've surpassed
All that I've hoped for and ever wished
And I'm trying so hard
With all my heart and mind
To make your life as good as you've made mine.. "


she had tears in her eyes when i was done.
a promise. a promise that i've failed to keep.
