Grasping.

They were far from a couple. They were friends first, and lovers if time allowed them to be. He was in town, and couldn't wait for her to show up, bright eyed and ready to roll. They didn't speak on a regular basis, that's why every time he was in town it was like the first time every time. But she never came. All her friends were there, her followers he called them. He found out she moved up north, just packed up her things one day and left. She was tired, she told them, she was tired of waiting for things to happen, she was ready to get out there and do it all herself. So she left and now he realized how much he liked her being here, but that was selfish of him. Seeing each other only about four times a year wasn't something to keep kids together. So he had a good night, played an awesome show, and did his best to smile as much as he could. Her best friend came over before the night was done, hugged him and simply said, "She waited as long as she could." He knew that now and loved her even more for doing something with her heart.

She knew he'd be in her old town and she didn't have the guts to tell him she wouldn't be there. She had fallen in love with a boy in a band and he had fallen in love with a girl in a town. She didn't know it then, but they were doomed from the start.

She wasn't use to going to these things alone. She was the wing girl, the side kick, not the main attraction. Now though she was at a bar alone, waiting for the boys to finish sound check. She'd known them for about three years now and had fallen in love with their music along with it. Her main attraction was out of town but she wasn't going to let that hinder anything. She was cute but not too cute and she was just ready to have a good time. She had off from work tomorrow just in case things got too out of control. She was going to let it be known, tonight, she was the new main attraction...

And when they are together the sun seems to stop burning and calm comes over the land. They are meant to be together and change the course of love among everyone, but when it's good you know it, and when it's bad the earth rumbles for days on end.

She'd been in this city for almost a month, and  not once had she felt that sparkle with anyone. She had met loads of people but not anyone that makes her heart skip a beat. Until now. He shook her hand and smiled. This was the one that she wanted to shake things up. He released her hand, gave her a good luck wink, and walked away. This was her first day at work.

All he wanted to do was play music. He could eat, sleep, and breathe it all if he was allowed. But he was here, waiting on the rich and stupid.

She wanted out. She'd been with him for three years and was ready to jump ship. He wanted nothing more out of life than being the mail guy and smoking and she needed more. So she was saving everything she made serving the rich and stupid.

He wanted nothing more than to cook forever. The hours were long and was yelled at regularly but in the end he knew it'd be worth it. He was happy, content, he had everything people said he should have, the job, the girl, apartment, everything was good. Then she walked in. She was new and funny, and always put a smile on his face. Everything she said was witty and hilarious. But why rock the boat? Why ruin what should be perfect? She questioned everything he knew. So for now he'll learn all he can, live his perfect life, and wonder about the girl who seated the rich and stupid.
