Roses Are Red
I wrote this for the Project Nookie Fan Fiction Challenge in August (2001). The rules included the following: write a fic to the song "Hold On" by Mary Beth, the story must center on Pacey and Joey, incorporate at least two other Dawson's Creek characters, and have it end happily. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
"Hold On" -- Mary Beth
Time after time, feels like I'm fading away
Stopped on a dime, staring into space
And clarity comes, and clarity goes,
But for all these epiphanies, I'm still lost
Holding the roses...
At the start of your life, are you given a golden key...
To personalize, so carefully
And slowly you groove it, you make it your own
When you find where it fits well, swing it wide
And follow him home, examine his soul...
And if the moment hums with something deep and low...
Hold on... hold on
And if your timing comes like you're a single soul...
Hold on... hold on
Hold on
I know it's hard, yeah I've got a complicated scene
They tell you listen to your heart, whatever the hell that means
And whisper they may, but they will anyway
And it's you who'll be living each second in between
And if the moment hums with something deep and low...
Hold on... hold on
And if your timing comes like you're a single soul...
Hold on... hold on
Hold on
Street corner serenades,
Midnight trains...
Truthful fiction at the heart of things
Believing in the game...
Time after time, feels like I'm fading away
Stopped on a dime, staring into space
And clarity comes, and clarity goes,
But for all these epiphanies, I'm still lost
Holding the roses...
