Feedback: Please? 'Twould make me happy!!! spookyspice24@yahoo.com
Archive: Come! Visit my site! Have a rousing good time!
Author's Notes: I've been toying w/ writing an angsty CJ/Danny piece to "Goodbye to You" for a while. So here it is! This isn't a song fic; "GtY" is just a good song to listen to while reading this. :) And be kind—technically this is my second West Wing fic, but the first one you'll have to wait for. Look for it next week!

This is a new development. Someone's in your seat. I don't know who it is.
I guess it was stupid to assume you'd always be there. We lose people every 4 or 5 months. But I knew one of the things I could count on was you—sitting there in the 4th row. I always spotted you first—your hair, your smile. Like a beacon, cheering me up when I needed it. I never hated your demands for answers as much as I appeared to. I liked it when you stormed into my office, yelling at me for withholding information from the American people. I liked seeing you. Hell, I loved kissing you. I wish I'd let you know.
My daddy's dying. Did you know that? He's forgetting things. Sometimes he even forgets me. I know he can't help it, but it hurts. Only Toby knows. Between this and the MS thing, my life had uprooted. Things are in flux, and I don't know what to be sure of anymore.
I need some stability, Danny. But I don't see you anymore. I guess my stability's gone.

Michelle Branch
Goodbye to You
Of all the things I've believed in/ I just want to get it over with/ Tears form behind my eyes, but I do not cry/ Counting the days that pass me by/ I've been searching deep down in my soul/ Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old/ It feels like I'm starting all over again/ The last three years were just pretend/And I said
Goodbye to you/ Goodbye to everything/ I thought I knew You were the one I loved/ The one thing that/ I tried to hold on to
I used to get lost in your eyes/ And it seems that I can't live a day without you/ Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away/ To a place where I am blinded by the light/ But it's not right
Goodbye to you/ Goodbye to everything/ I thought I knew/ You were the one I loved/ The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time/ I want what's yours and I want what's mine/ I want you/ But I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you/ Goodbye to everything/ I thought I knew/ You were the one I loved/ The one thing that I tried to hold on to/ The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall/ I will lie awake/ You're my shooting star
