know how to change it. The boy appears in the
doorway of the general store.
She jumps up from her perch by the window and
vows to herself she won't
make a fool out of herself. As she smooths out
her skirt, she watches those
beautiful eyes of his gazing at the displays. She
would jump off the highest
mountain just to be with him. As he brings his
items to the counter, will
someone see the love in his eyes? He wants her
to, but she has absolutely no
concept of his devotion. She rings up the
purchase, and as she hands him no
change, looks into his eyes. Then and there she
realizes he loves her, but will
he admit it? There's only one way to find out.
I have dealt some pretty high
hands, she finds herself saying, but I need to
risk it all to know. I won't
expire from my life until I find true love. Yes,
he interrupts, inside this store,
I have found my love. She squeals with delight,
and jumps into those
muscular arms she has dreamt about so long. They
twirl around, subtly high
on life. An elderly couple strolls by the window.
Look at the love. They will
never be parted, the woman sighs. Just as we have
never been. Through no
crisis have we been separated, the man responds.
The girl working won't
return to her work, a co-worker complains. The
manager replies, Those
teenagers were meant for each other. They know
it, and the whole store
knows it. The two lovebirds escape like prison
inmates, and vow they will
never look back on their empty lives. She
announces to the world she won't
give up on love again. He simply smiles and takes
her hand. For, the highest
of lords will realize their love was meant to be.
They know what's in store
for the two, and await it with open arms and
hearts. For there will be no
heartbreak, and we all realize the importance
love brings. All of those
experiencing broken hearts think they will never
love again, but the rest will
find it where it's least expected. The real
meaning to the girl and boy is no
hidden one. They have found their soul mate, just
as we all will. The high
school awaits their arrival, and so do their
parents. They had waited. Those
who were against them now see how wrong they
were. Will they or won't
they spend their lives together? They most likely
will, but what's in store
may not be what they expected. It may be an easy
love, and each store
that sells happiness may be open, but then again,
this could be the highest
slope they'll ever climb. Will they forget
their first love? No.
