Hey everyone. So a while ago, I stumbled upon a Reba McEntire phase and as I was experiencing writer's block for "I Can't Stay Away", I ended up writing a couple of one-shots based on her songs.
I don't own anything regarding the O.C. nor Reba McEntire and her songs.
"Not That Lonely Yet"
It's been a week since that faithful night, since the bonfire that marked the end of my short lived relationship with Alex. I'm at the Baitshop, sitting at the bar just staring blindly at the contents of my drink. Alex isn't working tonight and I'm left alone.
Ryan comes up behind me and asks me to dance. It's only been a week and he's already trying. One week of trying, but I reluctantly agree.
I don't mind to give you a slow dance or two
I'm sorry I'm not at my best
I know you can see I'm incredibly blue
But I'm not that lonely yet
He pulls me closer and I let him. We dance to a slow romance that's dead in my eyes, but he keeps that soft expression I've fallen for one too many times. This dance is just a dance. Another memory I'll just leave outside to dry.
I'll look in your eyes while you're dancing with me
And try to fulfil your requests
But don't ask for favours when it's time to leave
Cos I'm not that lonely yet
Ryan doesn't get it. He thinks there's still a chance. He leans forward to kiss me, but I turn away. He looks at me confused, like I'm not making myself clear. But we just keep on dancing cause there's nothing left to do.
Now don't say you want me
I've heard that before
The words weigh like stones in my head
There may come a time when I'll think of it more
But I'm not that lonely yet
He tries once again, but this time I stop. We stand frozen surrounded by an endless sea of dancing pairs. He crosses his arms, certain that I'll change my mind. I look around feeling lonely, but I simply walk away.
It's nice to be dancing to waltzes again
And maybe it helps to forget
You've opened the door but I'm not waltzing in
Cos I'm not that lonely yet
Ryan's made me realize how much I've actually changed. For once the girl who's always caved at the first escape stood her ground. He's made me realize it's really over, that I'll never go back to him. My heart belongs to Alex and from now on, it always will.
No I'm not that lonely yet
