Mine

   The moment I saw him I wanted to be with him. He was everything I needed. Everything  I didn't know I would want. He was always smiling. Surrounded by people. I used to watch him play football with his friends. Always laughing. All of the girls I knew would talk about him. They all wanted him just like I did. He was often on my mind during class and passing periods. I used to search the halls as I walked to just catch a glimpse of his face.

  He graduated and I didn't see him in the halls anymore.  

  

  Halloween 2 years later. We were both invited to the same party. I only went in hopes of seeing him. I didn't dress as anything in particular. Just a long beautiful midnight blue halter dress covered in glitter. I walked up the stairs and there he was. He was an undead biker. My heart was racing. He walked over to me. My insides could have won the Gold medal in gymnastics. He was talking to me. I almost could hear a word he said because of the ringing in my head, the music in my mind. We hung out together the rest of the night with my sister and her husband. I was so nervous I can't hardly remember what movies were even on He held me in his arms as we watched movies all night. I was so nervous. I kept praying he couldn't feel my heart pounding so hard through me. During one of the movies he kissed me and it was sweet. The best first kiss ... ever.

   Two days later he asked me to come over and watch a movie. During the end credits he asked me to be his girlfriend. It was a dream come true. My crush, who I was so shy and afraid to talk to wanted me to be his. It was the best feeling in the world. Little girls who daydream of fairy tales can never imagine the pure sweetness of the real thing.

  He is my crush, my knight in shining armor, my love with a trouble and a boat, my protective hunter in an Impala, my farm boy who does as I wish, he is my Montague, my boy who was looking for a star.

Best of all is he is mine.
