Thank God, dinner arrives.
After the most delicious
dinner we have ever eaten, Tanner pulls onto Sixth Street in downtown Austin and
says, “Let’s dance!” He knows I am always ready to dance. We head into The
White Horse Country Bar and he orders us two whiskeys on the rocks and two
Stella beers. We have always been competitive with one another, so he taps his
glass on the bar and looks at me…I know it’s on! I grab my whiskey and shoot it
back and then my chug my beer as fast as possible without barfing all over this
hot ass dress. He wins! He drinks beer quicker than I do.
Tanner leans into me,
whispering, “What the fuck am I going to do without you by my side?” He holds
me closely and I can feel the angst he is feeling.
My heart is breaking and
I want to tell him so badly to stay but that is not what best friends do, they
help build one another up! I kiss his lips, then his cheek, and then put my
mouth to his ear and whisper, “We will call each other, text, and video chat all
the time. I love you and will always love you. Besides, I will get so much
writing done!” Tanner puts his hand behind my neck and brings me into his mouth.
I get lost in his emotions while keeping mine well buried! His other hand cups
my face and his tongue owns my mouth. I start to tear up and my breathing becomes
labored.
He pulls back and says,
“Baby, please don’t cry, please.” I look up and get control of myself. He
excuses himself and heads toward the restroom. I order us another round but
pound my whiskey before he gets back and then I order another. When he comes
back, we drink our drinks and then he leads me to the dance floor.
The live band announces,
“This song is from Tanner to his Lyrics.” I almost crap! The band starts
playing Kenny Chesney’s You had Me from Hello . We begin to move slowly
and our bodies mold as one. His smell is intoxicating to me and each time his
skin grazes mine, he leaves me with a trail of warmth and tingling. This song
says so much about us, and the fact that he requested it is mind blowing. God,
I love this man of mine. I know how childish it sounds but I believe nothing
will ever tear us apart. True love is forever!

‘You
are the Lyrics to my song.’
Tanner –
Holding Lyrics and leading
her as we dance makes me realize how much this girl means to me. She is fucking
everything to me! I take a deep breath and her scent sends chills down my spine.
For so long now I have protected her and made sure that she is fine. How can I
protect her from across the Goddamn world? I would never forgive myself if
something happened to her while I was gone. I want to back out of this stupid
shoot. I want to stay so badly, but I know she won’t let me…this I fully know! The
pain in my body is almost too much to bear; I mean I can’t breathe. This girl, she’s
my homie, my compadre, my love, my life!
When the song ends, I walk
her back over to the bar and I head back to the stage. The lead singer hands me
the microphone and I look into the crowd and see many faces that I recognize. Many
girls I recognize all too well. I’m super fucken nervous because this is the
first song that I’m singing that Lyrics did not write. I clear my throat and notice
the shock on Lyric’s face, which instantly makes me relax. “This is a song I
wrote last night. I call it The Lyrics to My Song .” The crowd applauds
and I start playing the guitar that the house band let me borrow. I’m having a
harder time than I had expected getting through this song without breaking down.
When I finish singing, the crowd goes wild. I look to my right and Lyrics is
climbing the steps to the stage. She has tears pouring down her face as she
wraps her arms around me and I lift her off the ground as her legs embrace my
body. These fucking tears won’t stop flowing. I don’t want to let her go…ever.
She whispers in my ear,
