Fireflies
#1 of Inspired By...
A songfic about what the title reads. Short, but it felt right. Enjoy!
This is a product created when combining creative writing, me and the song known as 'Fireflies' as sung and performed by Owl City. A little nonsense that was made on the fly, the reason, I may never know as to why I done this.
i lay and stare at the ceiling, wandering what other things the lid can trap
things like memories are one, but others are more subtle and hid
Turn once to the right and look down to my beautiful Shayna
A beauty i found one morning
when i found myself lost in the new city I just moved too.
Luckily, she was there for me and not some ugly things
like thugs and other things that would harm me
I smile to myself.
a wandering mind would always find some trouble
I found Shayna because of
it.
At some points in our
Relationship
I would
buy her something so she would remember me
Not some other exes that might plague her mind
I look at the ceiling again
It captured us and our love. Corny, yes, true, of course.
Studying the ceiling, I notice it had the coloration of my fur:
Grey
White
Black.
I smile as I
Picture myself trying to blend in with the ceiling
and pouncing on
Shayna
and hug and kiss and tell her
I love you.
Nothing has ever made me more happy than Shayna.
Corny, yes.
True, of course.
Fireflies can be caught
underneath the ceiling too
to conserve the light that the bugs can give off.
along with the soft glow, there can be the dreams that
we dream and soar through.
Shayna
says that i could be a writer.
I joke back with:
I can write, but it'll only be about you
her possible reply might be
HahAha! yeah, and it better be good.
I know she loves me
She knows I love her.
If she were to make a wish like, "I wish I can live as long as Zac loves me," i'll guarantee that she will live forever.
My smile broadens. I now know I'm crazy for her. Just about as crazy as a snow leopard might be. The feral kind. The hungry, feral kind. The rabid, hungry feral kind of snow leopard when it spots food.
Though, I wouldn't kill my food. I'd love it.
I stare back to my Shayna. Her fur, a tannish red, looks luminous. The moon makes her look more peaceful than she already is. Not that she isn't always in pain or anything. She always looks peaceful when she sleeps.
I close my eyes and enjoy the moment. Me being twenty must be the reason to the happiness. Most of my life had been a bit rough (say, dysfunctional family and school problems) and me being able to become the mate of a beautiful, if not slightly intimidating, woman? This has to be at least one in a million.
I love you
you love me
_ we'd soon make a family_
I sigh and look back up at the ceiling.
It caught me
It caught Shayna
it catches families
it covers problems
it keeps the fireflies in
the kids dreams
hopes
ambitions
love
and a
whole other world
they can conjure up
without letting anything like the nasty rain get inside and ruining them.
I notice I'm getting drowsy.
Meh, insomnia is a bitch. At least Shayna distracts me.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep, knowing that my life was going to be happy one.
I know, I know. How does a song like Fireflies do with love? I may as well just put it like this: the song is about that nice feeling before falling asleep. In my opinion, the feeling is almost magical. Anyways, I also need to work on my 'ending a story' skills, so please bear with me. Now, raven out!
