Sparks

We sat out on the grassy knoll, Matt and I, along with some other friends. The sun was just beginning to set, even though it was already hidden behind the thick clouds that had taken over the gray English sky. We waited with hundreds of others for the sky to go dark, and then the fireworks would start. Our group was small, but we were happy. One of our friends, David, had his acoustic guitar, but it could hardly be heard over Matts complaining about one song or another. He sat far across from me, Matt that is, to sit next to our other friend Julie. I couldnt help but feel jealous, I mean Matt was my closest friend and I was so used to absorbing all of his attention, who knows, he was probably sick of me always being there. He was obviously absorbed in her at the moment, but no matter how strange and demanding these feelings inside of me were, a best friend should never interfere with something like that. As long as Matt was happy I was happy, we had a bond that could not be broken, and I vowed to keep him safe and content as much as possible, I am his rock.

Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say
youll say, "Oh, sing one we know"
But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
thats what I'll do.

There was an old tattered blanket that blocked us all from the itchy damp grass, as well as the pesky insects. Multiple bottles of booze and soda, and of course plenty of snacks to go around lay scattered about. I dont know how I noticed all this when all my attention was focused on you and Julia. I never actually looked at you but I kept watch out of the corner of my eye. You were holding yourself up with one hand and leaned in to whisper your corniest lines into Julias ear as you fingered her long auburn hair delicately. The voice in the back of my head shouted in protest, and I felt that it should be my hair that your fingers were entwined in; your breath should skate across my ear sending shivers up my spine. I tried my best to look away until I realized that though your body seemed to be attached to Julias, your stunning blue eyes bore into mine. I groaned inwardly, your stare could not be avoided and I could feel every fine hair on my body stand up. All my thoughts were betraying me all at once and I went into sensory overload, what ever was pulling me toward you and away from everything I had thought I was couldnt be stopped. It didnt help that just then, the first flare went off sending a gold shimmering flash into the sky followed by a burst that made everyone I could see jump. The show of fireworks continue a myriad of Oohs and Aahs that never seemed to end filled the brisk air. I sighed and watched you relax leaning back on your elbows, faced toward the heavens.

I say "oh"
I say "oh"


I heard the show was spectacular. I was too busy watching you from a short distance and trying to sort out what was going on in my brain to notice the vivid flashes of colour and sound that swooped across the night sky. I felt as though the whole time you were looking at me, even though you were intently focused on the bright lights above. I watched as the playful colours cast across your face once by one, your eyes bright and shining in happiness. How pathetic am I to be jealous of fireworks? I couldnt help that want to be the reason your eyes were shining so, I couldnt help that I wanted to be the one exploding above you. You always knew that I loved you, but you always thought it was more platonic than they way I really loved you. I wondered how you never noticed how reluctant I was to leave your side, how I would greet you every day as if I hadnt seen you in years. I was wrong to think that you would see it, so wrapped up in girls, and music. Girls, I loved to be with them, but that was just sex, I dont think I could ever love a girl as much as I love you. I love being your hero, that day you walked up to me and begged me to let you be in my band, you treated me like a God. In some ways I wish I could tell you that theres nothing that special about me, but I cant let you down like that, even though some day I know youll realize.

My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to
That's what I do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will)

The fireworks are over and I think that everyone has left. I lay back and watch the few stars that try to peer out from behind the clouds. The blanket is gone and the grass itches at the small patch of skin on my lower back that is no longer covered by my shirt. I close my eyes and let out a heavy sigh, my head is tired from the conflicting thoughts that passed through earlier. I think I hear some one walking close by but I dismiss it, the night loves to play tricks on people like me. But right now, no tricks are being played; I feel some one lay down beside me. You slide your hand into mine and your familiar calloused fingertips caress my hand. I open my eyes and turn to you, you smile showing off your crooked front tooth that I adore.

"Youre everything to me, you know that Dom". You words strike a cord in my heart and butterflies consume my stomach.
"And you are everything to me". I squeeze your hand gently and listen to your breath catch when I kiss you softly on the cheek. You look at me full of something I can only identify as love, and then I know that everything will be okay.


Yeah I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
singing out

END.
