Rachel ripped open the yellow business class envelope that was on her table and stared at the recording device curiously. She hit the play button and smiled to hear his voice after so long.
"Hey Rach." "it's me... Finn." "So... um... I wanted to send this to you because I miss you and I hope you like New York." "But three weeks is too long, you know?" "And I feel kind of lonely." "I'm not really good with words, you know that Rachel." ("just get on with it already." "Alright Kurt shut up.") "So anyway, the Glee club and me, we put this together for you." "So hear goes nothing"
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
"Turn around Rach."
Rachel turned and looked out the big window of her rented apartment. She gasped and felt her eyes water. He was on the fire escape. Staring at her. With the biggest smile on his face. Then she ran to the window and wrenched it open. Then he gathered her in his arms and she kissed him. And she missed that kiss. She missed being in his arms. And they stood there for what seemed like hours just holding each other. Then, she looked up at him. "I hope you liked your song." Then, she kissed him again.
