My tea's gone cold,
I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
But your picture on my wall
It reminds that it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.
Yumi sighed as she made herself another hot drink.
She looked up and smirked at Ulrich's picture on the wall. He was the only one who was able to get her out of these depressing moods and was the only one who was able to make her smile fully.
Every time he was around, Yumi saw things in a brighter light, even if he was a picture on the wall with the real one at work.
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
That I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.
Yumi worked as an accountant and every day she got threats of being sacked. She knew life would be a struggle without the income; it was just another stress in her life.
She was about to scream from the stress of work; and the bills that had arrived this morning; and the headache she had from the previous night's antics with alcohol, when Ulrich called her just to see how she was. Yumi smiled and started a chat up with her boyfriend.
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
Yumi thought about Ulrich all the way home, smiling all the way. Some people on that bus thought she was mad but others who were local knew that she was in love.
Everyday that she was with him, made her whole.
Push the door, I'm home at last
And I'm soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel
And all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now,
I wouldn't have a clue, because you're near me
Yumi slumped into their one-bed roomed house. She was wet from the pouring rain. Her clothes were drenched and were dripping. Her hair was sticking to her face. She just felt like giving up. Their car had given up on them a week ago and a mechanics fee was just too much at the moment. Ulrich heard her groan in the hallway. He got up and grabbed a towel for her. He passed her the towel; Yumi looked up and smiled when she saw him. Despite her wetness, he hugged her and gently kissed her. They broke apart and simply smiled at each other.
And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
After drying off, Yumi cuddled up to Ulrich with her head on his chest, on the couch and watched television. Ulrich out his arm around her body and placed his head atop of hers lightly. Yumi smiled. Just these little moments with him was so special to her. She might do this on a regular basis now but each time she was still squirming inside. She really did love him.
I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life
Yumi lifted her head off Ulrich's chest and looked into his handsome face.
"Thank you" She whispered into his ear.
He looked down at her with a confused look upon his face.
"For being there" she paused "and for giving me the best day of my life, everyday"
Ulrich, still confused, leaned down and kissed her.
"Always" he whispered.
She reached up for his kiss which she felt as well his trademark smile.
