| 35. Continued �I really wanna see you, I really wanna touch you, If only I could hold you In my arms again. I really wanna reach you, Forever to be with you, If only I could hold you In my arms again.� �It was written in the stars, On the pages of my heart, Oh, that someday I would find The love I feel for you tonight.� �On the ocean of our dreams, Like a prayer you came to me, And the longing that had been Found it�s ending in your eyes, And I am missing you tonight.� �I really wanna see you, I really wanna touch you, If only I could hold you In my arms again. I really wanna reach you Forever to be with you If only I could hold you In my arms again.� �Across the waves, across the seas, Separating you from me, Here�s a promise and it�s mine, I will love you for all time. I�m wishing you were here tonight.� �I really wanna see you, I really wanna touch you, If only I could hold you In my arms again. I really wanna reach you, Forever to be with you, If only I could hold you In my arms again.� �I really wanna see you, I really wanna touch you, If only I could hold you In my arms again. I really wanna reach you, Forever to be with you, If only I could hold you In my arms again.� �If only I could see you, Oh, if only I could reach you, I wanna hold you in my arms again.� Meg smiled, despite the tears in her eyes. She loved hearing Paul sing and play the piano, even though she didn�t know what possessed him to do it just then. Paul stood up from the piano bench and grabbed the microphone as the audience applauded. He smiled a bit nervously as he spoke. �Good evening, everyone. I won�t take up any more of your time as I have to.� He quickly drew in a breath. What�s he up to? �I played this song for a very special woman in my life, and if you were paying attention, you�d know that the lyrics said, �Like a prayer you came to me, and the longing that had been found it�s ending in your eyes.�� He paused. �Meg, you�re amazing. You�ve given me so much to be thankful for by loving me, and loving you in return is a feeling like no other. I can�t imagine not being with you another second�I would go crazy. Solomon 8:7 says, �Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.�� Meg found the tears in her eyes nearly spilling on her cheeks. She quickly wiped them away. He continued. �I will never desert you. Your secrets I will keep and I�ll make every day ours. I love you. Will you marry me, Meg?� A million thoughts ran through her head. I�m 19 years old! I�m barely over having cancer�I have five years to live. But I love him�I need him. I can�t imagine going through my last five years without him. The whole room�s attention was diverted to Meg. Well, girl, why not? She smiled and nodded. As the room broke into applause and cheering, Paul hurried off the stage toward her. �That was sneaky.� �It was, eh? �I never thought I�d marry a Canadian.� She grinned. �Come here, you.� They kissed and wrapped their arms around each other. The moment was surreal, a second of peace in her soon perilous world. |
