Nothing Else Could Be So Real

Is that seat taken?
No, no, here, just let me move my stuff.
And so began their love story.

Are you a parking ticket? Cause you’ve got fine written all over you.
Yeah, um...whatever.
And so began their love story.

Can we go under the slide so I can kiss you?
Ewww, no. I can’t kiss a boy!
Why not?
Cause they’ve got cooties. Duh!
And so began their love story.

Do you have the answer to number nine?
Yeah, right here...
And so began their love story.

Hi, I’m Mary, and I’ll be your waitress today. Can I get you something to drink?
Yeah, uh, I’ll have a Diet Coke, please.
And so began their love story.

A shy glance.
A slight smile.
And so began their love story.

Hospital bills.
A final squeeze of the hand.
And the final chapter of their love story.

A tiny tear wiped away.
A prayer lifted up.
And remembered is their love story.

Meanwhile, the world spins on into oblivion.
