The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
I knew I loved him. Ever since I had first seen him, I knew it deep down somewhere. At first, it just didn't seem that way; I hadn't been sure what it was. Now I realized it was love. I smiled to myself, remembering the first time I had seen him. It was right after a game in The Joe against the Red Wings. I was always a big Rangers fan even if I had been brought up in a family of Red Wing fans in Detroit. I had always loved going to Rangers games. The first game I went to last season was the first time I'd seen him.
Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They’re advertising in the skies
For people like us
Though I knew it was love, I had never actually met him. I hoped to someday, and I knew I had to just keep hoping and it might happen sometime. I was actually going to New York to see a game in Madison Square Garden. My dream might have finally been realized. A brightly lit city like that would feel like home to me.
And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground
I was in the airport, waiting anxiously to catch my flight to the city from Detroit. My friend Chris had agreed to pick me up from the airport, and I would get a tour of the city before the game started. My heart was pounding; I was so eager to see the city. When my plane took off, I put my music on to calm myself down so I wouldn't be too nervous when I landed. It didn't seem real to me. It was too much like a dream.
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The city was blinding, even in the day. I shielded my eyes as I stepped off the plane. Chris laughed at me and told me I'd get used to it. I got a great tour of the whole Manhattan area before we made our way to MSG. I was nervous again, and I clutched onto Chris's arm. He laughed again and said I'd be fine and that they would love me. I really only wanted one person to love me, but I didn't tell him that. I just smiled and followed him inside.
Don’t look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can’t see
Me and the guys were standing around in the forum of the Garden when Chris came in, towing a girl none of us had seen before behind him. He introduced her as Kristen and told us she was one of his friends. We all introduced ourselves to her, but her eyes seemed to linger on me the longest. I pushed the thought aside; I couldn't think like that. She was absolutely gorgeous; I hoped Chris was willing to share his friend.
I’ve seen you walk unafraid
I’ve seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
Kristen stuck around for a while. I was glad; we had really gotten to know each other in the time we were together. I found out that she was trying to be a fashion designer, and she advertised herself by wearing hand-made clothing. I loved the things she came up with. They were so creative and looked like they'd taken weeks rather than hours. When we were together, she seemed really comfortable and genuinely happy. I was glad I was making her happy. Chris noticed this too; he confronted me after a game against the Devils.
"Hey Brandon."
"Hey Chris. What's up?"
"You seem to be pretty close to Krissy."
"Yeah, she's so nice and she seems great."
"Yeah? You're not planning on taking advantage of her, are you?"
"'Course not, Chris! What kind of guy do you think I am?"
He held his hands up in defense. "Don't get mad, Brandon. I just want what's best for Krissy. I didn't mean to offend you or anything." I calmed down after he spoke.
"Sorry, man. I guess I overreacted a bit."
"No worries, I understand." We finished changing in silence.
And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground
We were getting ready to leave for a road game in Montreal. Krissy was coming with us, of course; she was sort of our good luck charm. We sat together on the plane and chatted a bit, but then, when we got to Montreal, she had to leave us because we had a press conference. I knew it wouldn’t be long, but it would feel like forever every minute we were apart. Three agonizingly long hours later, I finally got to see her again.
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
We decided to go out to dinner, just the two of us. She looked so gorgeous in her strapless red dress, with her hair curled and the beautiful red lipstick she wore. She seemed embarrassed that I kept commenting on it, but I laughed and took her hand. We had a great time at dinner, and I hoped we’d have more nights like that in the future. We went back to the hotel content to be with each other.
Time… time
Won’t leave me as I am
But time won’t take the boy out of this man
When we got back to the hotel, I took her to my room. When we got there, she leaned in and kissed me. I kissed her back. It was soft and short, but passionate. She kissed me again as I pulled away, pulling me against her. I could feel every curve of her body as she pressed herself against me. Pulling my key out of my back pocket, I took her to my room for the night.
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
It’s been three months since that wonderful night, and I learned today that Krissy is going to have a baby; my baby. We don’t know the gender yet, but we’re hoping for a boy. I’m so excited, and I get more and more so with every passing week.
It’s now been six months since that wonderful night with Brandon, and we learned that I’m having a boy. Brandon was so excited about it, and I was happy to see him so happy. My stomach’s gotten noticeably bigger, so it’s a good thing my parents aren’t here. We’re eager for the baby to be born.
It’s been nine months to the day, and baby Aiden Brandon Dubinsky was born at three o’clock this morning. I named him after Brandon because I knew he’d really like that. He looks so much like his father! I love both of them very much, and I know that Brandon and I were meant to be together.
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel… luckily
Three years ago, I met Brandon Dubinsky thanks to my friend Chris Drury. Now, three years later, Chris is the best man at our wedding. We are so blessed to have each other and to have little Aiden Brandon, and hopefully there will be more little Dubinsky’s running around our household with their older brother. We have a happy life with each other ahead of us and nothing can stand in our way.
