I dont mind
where you come from
As long as you come to me
But I dont like
illusions I cant see
Them clearly
"Don't confuse me, Tom, what the hell are you trying to say?" She raised a brow at the blonde.
He let a sigh escape his lips. "I...I don't know, Hannah. I guess I'm saying that...I don't know exactly where we are as of now...and I'd like to know..." He stuttered out his sentance.
She nodded her head, a thoughtful look plastered onto her face. "I'm still confused, Tom." She stated.
He sighed once more. "Are you really going to make me say it out loud?" He looked into her eyes, making his knees go weak.
She raised a brow at him once more, nodding at him. "I suppose I am. Can't you just ever come out and say anything? Why do you always have to beat around the bush, Tom?" She looked tiredly at him.
His shoulders dropped,
realizing he could never have her. She loved another man. But he'd be
there for her when he broke her heart. And it was inevitable. It
always ended with Hannah in Tom's arms, sobbing. Why couldn't she
understand how very amazing she really was? She could be with anyone
in the world, but she was drawn to people who tore her apart. I
dont care, no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've
shown me eventually what you'll do
I dont mind
I dont care
As
long as you're here
Except the one
way he needed. Go ahead and tell me you'll leave
again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart
in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If
you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all
the same
He instantly rose from the sofa and racing to her side, and taking her into his arms. They lay there for hours, her sobbing into his shirt, and him holding her as close as he possibly could.
She calmed down, raising her head to look into his beautiful brown eyes that matched her own. She hugged him once more, before making an attempt to stand. He pulled her back down to eye level with him.
"Are you going to be okay? Do you want to talk about it?" He begged.
She shook her head, standing and
making her way to her room for the night. She never wanted to talk
about it. She just wanted to cry, and try to move on. Hours
slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
But in-between it
always seems too long
Suddenly
But I have the skill, yeah
I
have the will, to breath you in while I can
However long you stay
is all that I am
Minutes turn into hours, hours turn into days, and then she stirs. She slowly exits her room, eyes still blood shot, body weak, and hair tangled.
Tom jumps up from the sofa and runs to her side. "Is everything okay? Do you want me to make you anything?" He stands close to her.
She shakes her head, making no eye contact. He
sighs and pulls her into a hug, which she doesn't have the strength
to return. I dont mind, I dont care
As long as you're
here
He pulls her to
the living room, sitting her on the couch and holding her close as
the t.v. plays silently. Wrong or Right
Black or
White
If I close my eyes
Its all the same
The next day she stirs once more, this time with life back in her eyes. She had finally recovered. Tom was there next to her, ready to cater to her every need.
She smiled at him. "Hey there, Tom. How's it
going?" She asked casually. Tom had always been impressed how
she could be deeply depressed when she falls asleep, and be as good
as new the next morning. He admired her for that. In my
life
The compromise
I'll close my eyes
Its all the same
"I have a date tonight, I have no idea what to wear. I think I'll just throw something on. It's not really a huge deal." She smiled in Tom's direction as they drank her tea.
Tom could feel his stomach sink and his heart break in half. He could feel his breathe stop, as he choked on his liquid.
She looked at him in shock, running to his side an patting his back. "Are you okay, man? Oh my god, Tom!" She screatched.
He nodded and coughed a couple more
times. "Yeah! Sorry!" He coughed. Go ahead say
it
You're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your
scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
That night ended the same as every other night where Hannah had a date with a mysterious man: with her in Tom's arms. Tom cradled her until the sun came up, when he finally decided it was time to confess his love for the woman.
He pulled the words right from his heart, "Hannah." He took her face in his hands, holding her head up so she was looking him in the eyes. His heart was burning. He took a deep breathe. "I love you." With that, he crashed his lips upon hers, which she automatically returned.
Their kiss came to a natural end and she stared into his eyes, shaking her head and laughing.
Tom panicked. A million reasons why she could be laughing floating through his head.
"Tom." Her
voice brought him back from his thoughts. "You have no idea how
long I've been waiting to hear you say those words." She pulled
him on his feet and kissing him deeply. And I'll take you
for who you are now
If you take me for everything
Do it all
over again
It's all the same
"I love you too, Tom. I have since the day I met you."
That's all he ever wanted to hear.
