SOMETHING LIKE YOU by Lajla
- So
many times I thought I hold it in my hands -
“Another
failure, Feehily.” – Mark said to himself, sighting, as he threw
himself on the bed. It was the third
time in two months he was dumped. He was always hoping to find that
special girl, the one, someone with who he could spend the rest of his
life with. But every girl he went out with, either dumped him or was a
real psycho. He was starting to think there was something wrong with him.
Why couldn’t he find a normal girl? A girl who would love him and who
would want to grow old with him. Was that too much to ask for? He was
slowly losing hope in finding that girl. So
many nights I asked the Lord above To
find a love that lingers That
you could be my answered prayer I
swear, cos... Mark
slowly sat on the bed and turned the TV on, just to get his mind of the
last girl who dumped him. He was flicking through the channels, trying to
find something decent to watch. That’s when he saw her. Short, shiny
brown hair, beautiful green eyes, the most incredible smile he ever
saw……she was the girl he always imagined to be with! He could feel it
in his heart that she was special. But there was only one problem. -
“How the hell am I gonna find out who
she is??” – Mark said out loud. He
sat there for a few moments, deep in his thoughts, when he suddenly got up
and ran out of the house. He had to find that girl, no matter what it
took. Soon,
he found himself standing outside the TV station. He got in and went
straight to the man standing by the camera. -
“Excuse me.” – the man turned
around. – “I was wondering if you can help me with something. This may
sound
like I’m some kind of psycho or something, but I’m not!” – Mark
smiled nervously. The man just kept looking at him confused. – “Can
you tell me the name of the girl working her, she has short brown hair,
green eyes, wonderful smile, she about 5’10……well, she’s
gorgeous!” The
camera man laughed at Mark. -
“Sure, mate! Her name is Val. Well,
actually, Valentine, but we all call her Val. She should be here any minute
now. You can stick around if you wanna!” -
“Thanx a lot, I really appreciate
it!” – the grin on Mark’s face just wouldn’t come off. -
“No problem, mate!” Just
as Mark turned around, she came in. He was hypnotised by her beauty. -
“God! She’s even more beautiful in
person!” – he didn’t think it was possible to be more gorgeous than
Val was.
His whole world stopped the second she stepped in. Val
was looking around the studio, when he saw a tall, dark-haired guys
standing in the corner, looking straight at her. She smiled at him. That
was enough for Mark to make him feel dizzy. I
forget to speak My
knees get so weak Is
this what God has meant for me? That
something like you Could
happen to me When
Val was done with she was doing, Mark knew it was now or never. He had to
go talk to her. -
“Hi, my name is Mark” – he said
once he reached her. -
“Nice to meet you, I’m Val.” –
she smiled. That smile made Mark dizzy once again. And just as she was about
to walk away, Mark knew he had to do something, he couldn’t let her go
just like that. -
“Erm……I……” – Mark was
suddenly speechless. And that was something that never happened to him.
– “I saw
you on TV this afternoon, and……erm……I just had to come
and……well, meet you.” – she smiled. – “I was hoping that maybe
we could grab a cup of coffee or something.” – he said, his eyes full
of hope. -
“I’d love to, but I have so much to
do.” -
“It would only take half an hour, at
the most!” – Mark was desperate. Now that he met her, he was even more
certain she was the one. Val
looked at him. She only met him few minutes ago. She didn’t know how
smart was it to go out with a stranger. -
“Alright. Let me just tell them I’m
going out.” – she finally agreed. Mark was so happy, and he didn’t
hide it.
He had a huge grin all over his face all the way to the pub. They
got to know each other more, and realized they have a lot in common. Mark
was positive she was the girl he had been looking all along, but he knew
he mustn’t scare her away. Val
was very fond of Mark, she really liked him. She loved the way he gets
so happy about the tiniest things. It was strange, but she felt
safe around him. It was something she never felt before with anyone else.
And she liked that feeling of safety. It
mad her feel as if no-one could ever hurt her. As
long as we're together That
you could be my meant to be They
started dating soon, and Mark was in heaven. He couldn’t believe God
answered his prayers by bringing Val to him. She was all he ever needed in
life. They
would be lying in bed for hours, just looking at each other. He used to
look at her beautiful green eyes, which were the doors to her caring soul,
her perfect little nose, so kissable lips, lips which he couldn’t live a
day without. Her shiny brown hair, her beautiful body. He loved it when
she caressed his cheeks with her gentle, fragile little hands. Every time
she was near him, he felt an urge to hug her tightly and never let go of
her.
I
forget to speak My
knees get so weak Is
this what God has meant for me? Could
happen to me And
Val was so happy with Mark. She felt as though everything she ever
searched for in a man, she found in Mark. She couldn’t believe her luck!
She was just so sick of being hurt, dumped and she was sick of broken
heart. She didn’t know why, but she trusted him totally, and she felt
she could tell him anything without a fear that he would laugh at her or
just walk away. And Val loved that feeling. She felt safe, cos she had a
man she loved and who loved her back, right by her side. There was nothing
else she wanted in life, ever since she met Mark, that day when he came to
where she works.
That
I've ever known Something
happens when you look at me I
forget to speak My
knees get so weak Is
this what God has meant for me? -
“Can’t believe what?” -
“You. All this.” – he said looking
around. – “I can’t believe God finally answered my prayers.” -
“And what prayers would that be?”
– she asked cheekily. -
“You. You are my answered prayer,
baby.” – he said kissing her. – “I love you.” -
“I love you, too.” – she said
returning the kiss. It was strange, even after all this time since they
were together,
she still couldn’t help but feel butterflies in her tummy when he kissed
her. The first and last time when she felt that way was when she was 13,
when she got her first kiss. She didn’t know how she knows it, but it
was right. It was so right, she couldn’t imagine being with anyone else
beside Mark anymore. Mark
looked at Val. She looked so cute when she was deep in her thoughts, those
beautiful green eyes had a spark in them, a twinkle, whenever she smiled.
And he couldn’t imagine his life anymore without her in it. It might
have been soppy, and to be honest, Mark never thought he would be saying
things like that. But there he was, few months after his last girlfriend
dumped him, in the arms of the one he loved and cherished more than life
itself. He just couldn’t believe his luck. How could someone as
beautiful and as caring as Val, happen to him? He just couldn’t
understand it. But he didn’t argue with that. He finally found the love
of his life, and he had a feeling they would be together forever. And his
feelings were never wrong…… He
kissed her lightly one last time before they pulled the sheets over their
heads, where they made love, leaving the TV on and not caring about a
single thing in the world, cos nothing else mattered to them, as long as
they got each other…… Lyrics: Something Like You by N Sync
