crawl ( f.w )

seventeen.

the melody wasn't long but it wasn't short either. i stood kind of still gripping onto the microphone tightly waiting to sing.

taylor's pov

holy shit i'm next up. i never thought i'd see myself performing in front of this many people for my first time. my thinking was interrupted as finn's first words caught my attention.

" the day i first met you,
you told me you'd never fall in love.
but now that i get you, i know fear
is what it really was- "

there's no way finn's doing what i think he's doing. let me just calm down and stop overthinking.

" now here we are,
so close, yet so far
haven't i passed the test?
when will, you realize
baby i'm not like the rest?
don't wanna break your heart,
wanna give your heart a break.
i know your scared it's wrong,
like you might make a mistake.
there's just one life to live
and there's no time to wait, to waste.
so let me give your heart a break.
give your heart a break
let me give your heart a break
your heart a break, oh yeah, yeah
on sunday, you went home alone
there were tears in your eyes.
i called your cellphone, my love
but you did not reply.
the world is ours if you want it
we can take it, if you just take my hand
there's no turning back now.
baby, try to understand
don't wanna break your heart
wanna give your heart a break
i know your scared it's wrong
like you might make a mistake
there's just one life to live
and there's no time to wait, to waste.
so let me give your heart a break
give your heart a break
let me give your heart a break,
your heart a break
there's just so much you can take
give your heart a break
let me give your heart a break. "

suddenly the lights dimmed and turned into a nice shade of purple.

" when your lips are on my lips
and our hearts beat as one
but you slip out my finger tips
every time you run
whoa, oh
don't wanna break your heart
wanna give your heart a break
i know your scared it's wrong
like you might make a mistake
there's just one life to live
and theres no time to wait, to waste .
so let me give your heart a break,
cause you've been hurt before
i can see it in your eyes.
you try to smile it away
some things you can't disguise.
don't wanna break your heart
baby i can ease the ache, the ache
so let me give your heart a break
give your heart a break
let me give your heart a break
your heart a break
there's just so much you can take,
give your heart a break
let me give your heart a break
your heart a break.
oh yeah, yeah
the day i first met you,
you told me you'd never fall in love. "

the rest of finn's song was amazing. soon i began to realize that finn was looking at me the whole time while singing. he wasn't singing to the crowd, he was singing to me.

i could hear the crowd grow in confusion until the big screen had shown a positioned camera. you could see finn close up while singing then it slowly showed me. the crowd grew in excitement. my hand flew to my mouth as tears brimmed my eyes.

the whole song he wrote was meaningful. it was beautiful. he wrote a song for me as i wrote a song for him. guess it all worked out in the end right? maybe. somewhere in the pit of my stomach was a bad feeling but my brushed it off in the heat of the moment.
