Love Somebody #WickedWednesday

Oh, how I love you, Wicked Wednesday. I didn’t think I would use the prompt this week, and then I heard a song, had a feeling, and knew exactly what to say…

She touched the little box in her pocket and smiled, thinking back to their conversation that morning before he left.

“Ok, babygirl, don’t open the box until tonight, right before you go to bed. Right before you close your eyes to sleep, open this box. And when you do, know that I love you.”

She always gasped when he told her he loved her, as if it was new information he was sharing. She held the box in her hands, looking down at it, wondering what could possibly be inside.

“I love you, too, Daddy.” She looked into his eyes, wishing desperately for more than they were, terrified of losing what little they had together.

The day dragged on longer than necessary. Every time she began to miss him, she touched the little box for comfort. Late that night, she held the box in her hands. Her fingers trembled slightly as she finally lifted the lid. Inside was a small, folded piece of paper. Pulling it out, she began to unfold it and saw handwritten words. A poem? No, song lyrics.

I know your insides are feeling so hollow
And it’s a hard pill for you to swallow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I’ll never recover
If I fall for you, I’ll never be the same

I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we’re only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we’re only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way

You’re such a hard act for me to follow
Love me today, don’t leave me tomorrow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I’ll never recover
If I fall for you, I’ll never be the same

I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we’re only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we’re only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I don’t know where to start, I’m just a little lost
I wanna feel like we never gonna ever stop
I don’t know what to do, I’m right in front of you
Asking you to stay, you should stay, stay with me tonight, yeah

I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we’re only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we’re only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You can take me all the way, you can take me all the way, yeah.
