It's Never the First Time Again
Crash
Now I'll never forever you
We fade on that line, there's only one more left. But Kelly's face screws into a grimace. Has she forgotten we've got one more repeat?
Kel? I mouth, but she's not looking. The crowd buffets us with screams. I squeeze her shoulder and her chin comes up.
Her forehead is lined. I could fall into her gaze. But there are tears glimmering on her lashes and it cuts deep. She touches my face like I'm breakable and it all comes home to me.
She's feeling for me?
I wasn't aiming for the husky gravel on this line, but it's unavoidable as I silently remind her that I'll survive this. I want forever with her.
Her tears don't spill over. She's locked onto me now.
Screw the fade. I stop singing and take her face in my hands, dragging my lips across hers.
