Disclamer: If I owned this, would I really be writing this??
It had been a very bad week. She didn't know how much more of it she could take, but she knew she had to get her feelings out somehow. It wasn't so much what was going on with work. Work, cases, death, all of those things she could deal with. It was her partner, her damn partner, who had driven her to this point. She kept trying to go out with other men, but every time, it just came back to him. Her friend. That was what he was, her friend. Or did she want him to be something more?
God damn it Mike! Why did you have to make everything so difficult for me!
Mike hadn't done anything wrong, but it was because of him that she was at a this club. The Nightingale was a club for singers. And it was because of Mike that she was here.
If I can't tell anyone about this thing in my life, I might as well sing about it.
"Name?" asked the man behind the sign up sheet.
She hesitated, thinking. I am still in New York here. she thought There is a chance that someone will recognize me, if not my name. I have been in the papers a lot recently.
"Anna Logan". Anna for her mother, Logan for her partner.
Her name was put down, and she was lead back stage so she could sing the next number.

She walked out on to a black stage, and was suddenly blinded by a white spot. She could not see the audience, but that didn't matter to her. She walked over to the piano, and told the man that she wanted to play for herself on this piece. The piano player got up and gave her his seat. She sat down and began to play a song that she had learned from her friends who were "Theater Geeks". As she started to play, she said into the microphone, "This song is for my partner, and my friend."
Every time I've lost another lover
I call up my old friend
And I say, Lets get together
I'm under the weather
Another love has come to an end
An he listens and I tell him my sad story
And wonders at my taste in men
And we wounder why I do it
And the pain of getting through it
And he laughs and says you'll do it again
And we sit in a bar and talk 'til two a
About life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through -
How love is rare and life is strange
Nothing lasts and people change
And I ask him if his life is ever lonely
And if he ever feels despair
And he says he's learned to love it
'Cause that's really all part of it
And it helps him feel the good times when they're there
And we sit in a bar and talk 'til two a
About life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through -
How love is rare and life is strange
Nothing lasts and people change
And we wonder if I'll live with any lovers
Or spend my life alone
And the bartender is dozing
And it's getting time for closing
And we figure that I'll go it on my own
But we'll meet in the year we're sixty-two
And travel the world as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through -
How love is rare and life is strange
Nothing lasts and people change...
As she finished the last few notes on the piano, the crowed in the club stood up and cheered. The manager of the nightclub came out on stage.
"And that was Anna Logan!' The audience cheered again. The manager turned towards her. "I hope you'll becoming again next week?" he asked.
"You can count on it." she said. She couldn't be happier. She had found away to let people know how she felt, without letting that one person know.

In the crowed Mike Logan looked in awe at the woman on stage taking a bow. The song she had just sang was filled with raw emotion that he had never seen before. It had blown him away... especially the name... and the dedication. He knew that this was definitely a nightclub he had to come back to. I need to know what you're hiding Carolyn Barek.
