It’s just love, man.

It was 1982.

I slowly roused to ‘It’s Gonna Take a Miracle’, her voice ringing, vibrating above the thunderous crescendo. Deniece Williams held me captive, slowly cooing the lines over.

It’s gonna take a miracle
Yes, it’s gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new

A blend of harmonious melodies strung my heart up. I walked to the bedroom and looked at you, and said, “Wakey lovey!” I ran my hands over your hair; long, soft as the meadow’s, wet like the dew. You yawned lazily, stretching.

You sat there, smiling, weakly. I stood there, complacent, innocuously ignorant, naive. That everyone leaving my life one by one would be nothing as I moved on quickly to the next, safeguarding my world, myself. Safeguarding myself from you.

“Is there anything you couldn’t do?” you asked.

I paused briefly, my eyes flicked briefly. “I couldn’t be alone.”

I stared into your beautiful, imperfect eyes, and I placed your arm over your left breast, ever so slightly. Ever so gently. Your heartbeat pulsed a systematic rhythm. “It’s just love, man.”

And just like that, the two of us, at a home at the end of the world.

Michael, ” Will you still love me tomorrow morning?”
Donna, ” Forever and ever, babe.”

I cried worse in this show than during The Lake House.

Hey, nice story!

My sis asked me whether you have a girlfriend now. Haha, cos your entry sound like you’re talking about someone ‘special’.

saki: aww thanks! :)

kaitzin: lol! nah, you know I wouldn’t take drugs.. I think. ;p

Click was nice, but I just prefer Lake House somehow lol. Maybe my anticipation of it makes me like the movie more, or something. :p

ozzie: that’s the one thing I couldn’t do – cry. These days at least. Maybe ‘cause I’ve done my share of crying when I was a kid and after a while I just couldn’t cry anymore. Not to movies anymore. I don’t know why.

yeah but that doesn’t stop me to be such a sap as well. :p thanks for the comment!

jess: hehe thanks! :D

naw I don’t have a girlfriend yet, thanks for asking. :p I do have some people in mind, however. it was inspired by a show I just watched before writing that piece, set in the hippie times.
