4She remembered everything about the she first time she had seen him. What he had been wearing. The way his hair kept falling into his face no matter how many times he had pushed it away. The way his laces were undone. Even the way he kept on gnawing on his pencil and glaring at his books as if blaming them for his inability to understand.
Sunday morning at the door
You were coming back for more
We were kicking it all around
I was looking in your eyes
You thought it was justified
You said, more
She remembered the first time he had noticed to her. The lecturer called on her to offer her views on the topic being discussed. She had felt his stare on her back for the rest of the lecture.
Don't stop, Don't change, Stay beautiful
One life, Today, You're irresistible
Get up, Get out, Stay wonderful
All this time is waiting for you
Don't stop, Don't change, Stay beautiful
She remembered the first time he had asked her out. He followed her after the lecture and had asked her if she had been to a restaurant at the corner of Chapel Street that, according to him, served the best pizza in the face of earth.
Poison kisses in the rain you were calling out my name
Laughing like the joke was on me
She remembered the first time he had called her beautiful. He turned up drunk at her apartment after a night out 'with the boys'. When she had let him in, he had proceeded to puke all over her carpet before calling her beautiful and passing out.
Post cards, throwing darts, side kicks and super marts
Break dance, second chance, I will run to you
Sideways, back and forth, wake up, hit the floor
Oh no, where'd you go, I will come to you
She remembered the first time he had cheated on her. She had walked in on him and her best friend having sex in his apartment. He had told her that she meant the world to him. He had told her that he loved her. He had sworn never to do it again and had called her beautiful.
One more, day like this
One more, poison kiss
One more, hand to fist
I will run to you
She remembered the first time he had hit her. He had told her it had been an accident. He said he had been so jealous that she had been spending so much time with her lab partner that he had lost control. He had sworn he would never hurt her again. He had told her he loved her and called her beautiful.
Always, first in line
Always, on my mind
Always, doing fine
I will come to you
She remembered the first time he had forced her. He had kept on saying it had been her fault that he loved her so much. He has said the first time for every girl hurt. He had sworn it would be better next time. He had then called her beautiful.
Don't stop, Don't change, Stay beautiful
One life, Today, Your irresistible
Get up, Get out, Stay wonderful
All this time is waiting for you
She remembered the first time she had told him to leave. He had cried and told her he was sorry. He had sworn that he would change. He had told her he loved her and called her beautiful
Don't stop, don't change, stay beautiful
One life, today, your irresistible
Get up, get out, stay wonderful
All this time is waiting for you
Don't stop, don't change, stay beautiful
She remembered the first time he had broken her heart. She had gone to visit him at his apartment and found him in bed with a different girl. She had heard him tell the girl he loved her and had wept as he called her beautiful.
Don't stop, Don't change, Stay beautiful
One life, Today, Is undeniable
Get up, Get out, Stay wonderful
All this time is waiting for you
All this time is waiting for you
She remembered the first time she had seen fear in his eyes. It had given her a heady feeling, knowing that for once, she had control. And when he had called her beautiful and told her he loved her, she had shot him. It was the first time she had truly felt beauiful.
