The Story of Us 

A big city girl who wanted to get away
a small town boy who had a heart warming smile.
Not noticing each other at first,
she didn't want to be there,
he'd grown up there.
They came with a common goal,
influencing a young mind and leaving an
impression. However, God had a goal neither
knew about. On a warm night in July she let a ton of stuff go. Crying face down
on the floor, he thought about doing
something, but backed away.

His dedication to one small child made
her want to tell him he had a gift.
Which launched into something neither 
had anticipated. And scared them both,
cuz they were still just a boy and some
girl.

And so a breath taking portrait begins
to form. Certain instances caught in time that caused their courses to change.
Change for the good or bad, neither knew.
But it was a fear they had to face, questions asked, begging for a right answer 
to their trepidation.

It's strange how things happened.
Neither of them were looking for love.
Along a lonely stretch of highway she
took him by his hand. Later in the chapel 
as candles flickered she cried once more,
this time he held her close.

A week from that moment she took his hand 
once more, he got more than a touch that 
night on the long stretch of road.
He received a title of the one to 
hold her heart.

A small dark room he made a simple request.
He verbalized what she had been pondering,
and she wasn't going to stop him.
An intense and new emotion expressed in
one simple gesture that bonded them.

A sly smile, "T, he's looking at you."
Politely smiling and diverting attention
sure she could show an outward reaction
to being admired from a far. But I think he
already knows.

He promises her that she can keep him.
He holds her close as she drifts off with
moments replaying in her head. She can feel
his heart beat, his soft kiss and heard,
"I love you Tatiana, always." 
She'll love him forever.

As time has passed God composes a beautiful
suite of what they've done, what they'll do
and what's in store for them. They're weaving
a precious picture of perfection.

The three fold cord twists more and more.
The center cords strong hold strengthens
the bond. They rely upon this central force
for guidance in their dance through this
world.

"Are you willing to risk it with me?"
"Yes"
"Have we taken a step back?"
"No I'm sorry I hurt you."
"Can I keep you?"
"Forever."

This average boy and just some girl have
found each other and made a fairy tale.
They are merely characters, in this real
life love story. God is the author of this
work in process.
It's the story of us.
