Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
One step closer
Jake was a ball of nerves. Okay, more like completely and utterly terrified. His life as he knew it was about to change, all because of 3 letters: FBI. His undercover mission was not even close to a small, beginners one. And all this happening when he couldn't stop thinking about her.
Amy.
Let's be honest, he called her that in his head, when he watched Die Hard, when he looked across his desk at her perfect face. Shouting "Santiago" at her was a cover for the corny adoration he had inside his heart. He had finally admitted to himself that after all these years, that she was what he really wanted. And now he was leaving.
He just had to tell her. Really, he could just let it slide, let it stay hidden. But being alone, knowing he would have to see things he couldn't un-see, would be that much more bearable if he knew she knew. Even just the smallest part of his devotion.
He took the leap and spoke from his heart.

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Keep walking. Just keep walking. Her face said it all. She doesn't feel the same way. Breathe in and out like Gina taught you, that day you got beat up after second period Math. Put those tears away. You've got important things to focus on.
He stopped, his back still to her, not that far away.
"Screw this," he said under his breath. He strode the 15 feet back to her. Seeing the blush was still in her cheeks from minutes before and standing a breath away from her face, he tried to take it all in.

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer

Kissing her, feeling that connection he knew was there. It was worth every single minute of confusion and doubt. And she was kissing him back. He would deal with Teddy and that aftermath another day. But being with her. Amy. That was where he needed to be.
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
