Everywhere

 

**

 

~Turn it inside out so I can see~

~The part of you that’s drifting over me~

~And when I wake you’re never there~

~And when I sleep you’re everywhere~

~You’re everywhere~

 

Her eyes stayed closed wanting to remain wrapped within the dream that visited her every night since the first time she had seen him strutting out to the ring in his baggy denim shorts and too big singlet.

 

She had been nobody then, the new girl, the rookie and he the established wrestler with nothing but success in front of him. He had built his dreams on making it in the WWE and by hook and by crook, he had.

 

People flocked to see him. Fans and colleagues adored him, even those who professed to loathe him. There was just something about John Cena, some essence of manliness that was totally his own.

 

She could feel it filling her nostrils right now, taking control of her thoughts and sending her senses into over drive.

 

There was just no getting away from him and she found she liked it that way… and then she’d wake up.

 

~Just tell me how I got this far~

~Just tell me why you’re here~

~And who you are~

~Cause every time I look~

~You’re never there~

~And every time I sleep~

~You’re always there~

 

She had no idea when it had happened, when exactly she had started to think of it more then just a dream.

 

It was funny really when she found herself thinking about it because he was totally not her type. He was brash, hard headed, very opinionated, very focused and very, very much the gentleman.

 

It was that last quality that had her stumped because it was that quality he showered on every other dive, but her… and then she’d close her eyes…

 

~Cause you’re everywhere to me~

~And when I close my eyes it’s you I see~

~You’re everything I know~

~That makes me believe~

~I’m not alone~

~I’m not alone~

 

…and it’d be the absolute opposite.

 

He was like a ray of sunshine on her face, a gentle breeze, wholly beautiful and cloaked in wonder.

 

This was there time when everything in her world fell into place all because he was in it.

 

~I recognise the way you make me feel~

~It’s hard to think that you may not be real~

~I sense it now, the waters getting deep~

~I try ti wash the pain away from me~

~Away from me~

 

A blush would highlight her cheeks every time she thought of this as love.

 

Was she crazy to be in love with a man who would walk straight passed her if he saw her in a hallway, a store or on a street?

 

She saw him walking towards her now. His brows furrowed and his eyes thoughtful.

 

He only noticed the beautiful divas, the popular divas, the sexy divas… - Her heart sank. - …all the things she was obviously not he proved when yet again he continued on passed her without a second look.

 

She smiled anyway, she always did. Because she knew in another place and time things were different.

 

~Cause you’re everywhere to me~

~And when I close my eyes it’s you I see~

~You’re everything I know~

~That makes me believe~

~I’m not alone~

~I’m not alone~

~I am not alone~

 

She pushed off the wall she’d been leaning again and closed her eyes as she breathed in the scent of his aftershave that lingered in the hallway. A scent she knew by heart, allowing it to surround her and carry her off to that plane reserved wholly for the two of them.

 

A place where she wasn’t alone.

 

~And when I touch you’re hand~

~Its then I understand~

~That beauty that’s within~

~It’s now that we begin~

~You always light my way~

~I hope there never comes a day~

~No matter where I go~

~I always feel you so~

 

We were meant to be.

 

Plain and simple.

 

Him and I.

 

It’s what I feel in my heart and in my soul and the beauty of it is its something no one can take away from me.

 

~Cause you’re everywhere to me~

~And when I catch my breath it’s you I breathe~

~You’re everything I know~

~That makes me believe~

~I’m not alone~

~I’m not alone~

 

She started walking then. Her head held his and a confident look on her face. This was the reaction he had on her. He was a life saving drug flowing through her system, reviving her, replenishing her, making her complete.

 

She wasn’t alone at all… she was far from it.

 

There was always that one question though drumming away in the back of her mind and it was that question that shone from her eyes when she turned at the end of the hallway to see him standing there surrounded by a group of his friends…

 

~Do you see me?~

 

…But just like when she was a rookie his gaze went straight over her and in return as always Dawn Marie continued on down the hallway and didn’t look back once.

 

~Do you see me?~

End – Everywhere
