Summary: Maybe he's waited too long. Maybe he should just let things happen for one in his life. Maybe there are just a whole lot of maybes.
On the ground
With my world
Upside down
I got a vision of your face
And I must get me out
For so many memories we've yet to make
God don't send to me your angels
I just wanna hear you say again
It was just suppose to be breakfast at his apartment between two friends, who hadn't spent time together like this in ages and missed each others company.
Maybe that's why he invited her here after one of the hardest shifts he's had in a long while.
Or maybe it's that he knows that today they've known each other 25 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 7 hours, 24 minutes and 33 seconds.
Forever love
Say you'll love
Dígame, Dígame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
If I go
I'll know
She used to dance as a living for men who came to watch her body, and even though she hardly dances like that anymore, he knows she still loves to dance.
Maybe that's why they're dancing in his living room to the soft sound coming out of the radio.
Or maybe he just wants to hold her close to assure himself that they're both still alive, that they've managed to survive.
When you smile
With those eyes
Baby it's like
You place a finger on my heart
And your lips next to mine
He's smiling gently as they sway to the music with his head resting against hers and breathing in her scent.
He could almost swear that he could feel butterflies in his stomach,
but he knows that that's not really possible.
Make me think that maybe heavens where you are
God don't send to me your angels
I just wanna hear you say again
It makes him wonder, though, as he begins to think about all the times he's ever been around her if this feeling has always been there.
Maybe it hasn't because if it had wouldn't he have realised it before now, with the faint smell of her shampoo reaching his nose.
Or maybe it has and he's known it all along but just dismissed it all those times because he didn't want to lose her friendship.
Forever love
Say you'll love
Dígame, Dígame
He watches her smile and sigh as she rest her head on his shoulder, and he thinks that she looks so peaceful with her eyes closed like that.
He doesn't think that he's ever seen her look that content before and he wonders what's going on and if…
Maybe she's happy to be here with her friend that she hasn't talked to in so long and that she's so tired after such a long day.
Or maybe she's feeling this to, this rush that he's feeling right
now has he holds her in his arms
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And if I go
I'll know
La la la la...
As she sighs again he begins to wonder this time if she knows, if
she's always known about this thing that's between them
Forever love
Say you'll love
Dígame, Dígame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And If I go
I know
The music begins to fade and she lifts her head up off his shoulder and opens her eyes to look at him.
She licks her lips and his eyes flicker down to watch her tongue as it slides along them and he thinks…
Maybe her lips are just dry and she's just trying to stop them from getting too dry as a cool breeze brushes past them.
Or maybe she wants him to kiss her like he's only just beginning to
realised he's always wanted to
Forever love
Say you'll love
Dígame, Dígame
He looks up at her and she just smiles at him softly and he suddenly thinks that…
Maybe he's waited too long. Maybe he should just let things happen
for one in his life. Maybe there are just a whole lot of maybes
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And if I go
I'll know
And maybe it's time he stopped thinking about those maybes.
Because as he looks at her he can see it in her eyes
And this time there are no maybes he just knows
She really does feel it too.
