Now I am falling very hard for you my friend
From hate to want, loathe to desire
You set my heart on fire
Never knew that love could be so real
From the anger to the passion I now feel
It knocked me over, I am upside down
Who knew something that started bad could turn around?
Everything you did would make me mad
Suddenly, missing you makes me sad
The sound of your laugh, the glint in your eye
Your heart has a beauty I can’t deny
Now you are all I want, a smile from a frown
you’ve turned my world upside down
They say there’s not much difference between love and hate
To go from one to the other is the magic of fate
No more change, the world seems right
Moved from the darkness to the light
From enemies to lovers, this can’t be wrong
We are writing our own love song
Together forever our hearts beat strong
With you is where I belong
I look around at the audience once I stop singing. “What would you say if I brought out the man who sparked those words?”
The audience jumps and claps.
“I thought you might like that.” Exchanging a secret smile with Mandee and Bill down below, I snap my fingers and a big spotlight hits Sam where he sits. Shock seeps into his expression. I walk over to him and hold out my hand.
He stands up slowly like he’s gonna bePunk’dor something.
“What the hell are you doing?” he hisses.
“Trust me. I know it takes a lot, but it’ll be worth it.”
His lips lift. “It has been so far.”
I give his hand a little squeeze and walk him to the center of the stage. I clench my hand tight around the mic. “Three years ago, on the hardest night of my life, I met the guy of my dreams. But my brother had just died and my head was a mess. I resisted playing here at the Sun Arena because of what happened on that night. The last time I played here, I found my guy again. And I knew he’d been sent to me.”
I pause for a second. “But I was stupid. Did a lot of dumb things. I thought I lost him. And then I almost died. I learned a really important lesson after that. Life is so fucking short, you can’t waste a second of it.”
