I sat in my bed surrounded by all the notes and gifts he had given me. I missed him. A lot.
From the day we met
You made me forget
All my fears
He made me feel good and happy, like someone had noticed me for me and not for my body.
Knew just what to say
And you kissed away
All my fears
When ever I came home from a difficult case he made me feel better. I began to laugh through the tears as I remembered the face he would make to get me to laugh.
I knew this time I had finally found
Someone to build my life around
Be a lover and a friend
He was great to talk to and such a romantic, and of course good in bed. He made me feel less awkward and put me at ease around people.
After all my heart had put me through
I knew it was safe with you
What we had could never end
After my last boyfriend had ended so badly, he was there to pick up the pieces.
Wrong again.
Everybody swore
They'd seen this before
We'd be fine
Near the end he had started to get distant, spending more and more time alone. I worried but put it in the back of my mind. Now looking around I pulled back the blanket and walked up to my mirror. I looked like shit.
And you'd come to see
That you still loved me
In good time
I gathered my hair back in a bun and stuck a pencil in it. For the first time since he left I felt like calling Booth. He had been there for me, even standing at the dock while I cried watching him sail away.
And they said there is nothin' you can do
It's something that he's goin' through
It happens to a lot of men
For the first few days I thought for sure he'd come back. I mean he loved me. Right?
And I told myself that they were right
That you'd wake up and see the light
And I just had to wait till then
I really believed he loved me. He would come back for me. I even packed a suitcase so I would be ready when he realized he wanted to come back to get me.
Wrong again.
He didn't come back. So I'd shut myself in my apartment and wouldn't answer the phone. When the messages from booth began to pile up I had to resort to taking the phone off the hook.
And it seemed to me the pain would last
My chance at happiness had passed
Nothin' waiting round the bend
I thought my life was over and I would never date again. there was nothing out there for me.
I was sure I'd never find someone
To heal the damage you had done
My poor heart would never mend
Wrong again. Wrong again.
Now I realized I had been so stupid to shut him out of my life. He cared for me, something deeper that what I had with Sully. Booth had been willing to wait. I picked up the phone and dialed.
"Booth? I miss you."
