Title: You and Me.
Rating: PG.
Summary: One shot. PB&J love always had my heart from the start. So I wrote a little poem from Claire's perspective on Charlie... and how she could never quite figure him out. But finally, on the last day she ever saw him, she finally realized. Reviews? Feedback would be brilliant. xx
Inspiration: I wrote this aaages ago, over a year- at least. It was back in my Charlie!died depression craze. :( I have a lot of things like this started. Anyway, enjoy! :)
Disclaimer: If I owned PBJ, you would have seen a lot more of it in the show. There wasn't enough, and I still want more.
But hey- thats why we write, isn't it? ;)
You And Me.
Some things could be so
complicated- I never figured you out.
That lopsided smile and
uneasy eye twinkle always
had me puzzled.
But I loved it.
You were the one mystery
I never solved, and it
kept making me want to come back
to you.
You drew me in, even
when I hated you.
A part of me always held you tight-
scared you would leave,
if I let go.
You were the one problem
I wanted to solve.
The fidgety hands that
never kept still- not for one second.
The British tongue that made me
always want to hear more.
I studied you, and
tried to work out what you
were like. Where you came from and
how your family was. What your life was like
before. If you were really the man
I thought of you as. Still,
I didn't know. You were a good liar.
There was that glare that would pass
across your face for less
than a second,
before you smiled once more.
Don't think I didn't notice.
Everyone has their demons. Even
the 'rock god' you claim you once were.
Those demons of yours, they
haunt me just as much as they haunted you,
did you know?
We became two in one, yet
I barely knew my other half.
I liked that about you, the
fact that I didn't know.
The fact that we were two complete
strangers,
that fate brought together. Sometimes
I think it was meant to be.
That we, were meant to be.
But then again, I
never knew with you. You confused me,
and made me think harder than anything.
Your dirty blonde hair lightly
falling in your face. The way the corners
of your eyes crinkled when you smiled.
Then the last time I ever saw you
was a day I'll never forget.
I'll never forgive myself either.
I never gave you a proper goodbye.
Or the goodbye that I would have wanted
to give someone like you.
But in that second where your eyes
met mine and an invisible string
seemed to keep us bound, I
realized something. The second
that our lips touched,
it all came flooding in.
Sometimes its just these moments
that make you realize
the truth. Make you realize the things
you never thought you'd see.
The answer to you was so simple-
yet so sweet.
The answer to you-
was me.
