Only for You

A/N: Dedicated to Kimi-chan~ Lyrics are “Because You Live” by Jesse McCartney.

Only for You

With a trembling smile, I took her hand into my own. The action must have startled her, as she looked up to me. I forced the tremble to leave my smile, and the smile to harden. A confused look took over her face…

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It’s the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I’ve been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn’t see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn’t know

“Dear…” I said softly, just barely audible. “You’re the reason I live… you’re the reason I’ve come this far.. you’re the reason that I can breathe, that I can smile at the world. If it weren’t for you…” I felt my voice crack, but pushed on. “I don’t know what would have become of me.”

“Hmm?” the confusion at my speech was obvious in her voice.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

“With you in my life… the night seems brighter. The moon, it shines like there is no tomorrow, like it’ll never get to shine again. The stars, they’ve multipled. And it’s all because you’re here, because you’re willing to stand next to me, even when I’m down to the bottoms of the sea…”

“Jaime…” she said softly, a hitch appearing in her voice.

It’s alright, I survived, I’m alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what’s the use if you’re killing time
I’m so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

“When you came into my life, I was nothing. But now, now that I’ve learned to love you, to see beyond your beauty of the body and into the beauty of your soul… I know that you’re the reason I survived. You’re the reason I’m not dead… you’re the reason I live, the reason I smile.” I knew my voice was trembling, but I continued on.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

“If you weren’t here, I wouldn’t have a reason to continue on. If I lost a fight, if my day was the worst, I wouldn’t have the reason to continue. But since you’re here, I feel compelled to go, you give me the strength to fight the world, to make it out on top.”

Because you live there’s a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you’ve given me always

She looked at me with tears beginning to form at the tips of her eyes. “I… I don’t know what to say…”

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

“You don’t have to say anything…” I said softly, raising her hand to my lips. “You do enough by just standing there, being there for me… whenever I need you… such a perfect angel, blessed upon the street rat…”

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive

“Jaime…”

Because you live, I live, I live

“Dear… my sweet angel… if I could, could I dare ask you to stay my angel for all of eternity, for you to overlook me from now until my days of old age? Would you please marry me?”

End Notes: OMG! I NAMED THE BOY! *suicide*
