Elliot picked up the phone slowly. He yawned and then said "Stabler" rubbing his eyes. There was silence for a moment and then someone sniffled on the other line. "Elliot" a woman voice said softly. "Liv sweetie? Is that you? Where are you?" He said nervously.
He
called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to
hear her say I love you one more time
And when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a
tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
And said
"Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing
that came to his mind
"I'm home Elliot" she said looking up at his big house and wiping a tear from her cheek.
I'm already there
Take a look
around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the
ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary
friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
"Where are you Liv? I'll come and get you" he said going over to the closet to get his jacket. "I'm here Elliot" she said kind of chuckling to herself. "I missed you Olivia. I love you so much."
She got back on the phone
Said I really
miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be
alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside
you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll
gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out
the light and close your eyes
"I'm home Elliot" she said again this time with a smile. He walked out of his bedroom and down the stairs. He reached for the front door and slowly turned the knob. He opened the door and looked out.
I'm
already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm
the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll
be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh
I'm already there
He rushed over to her, picked her up and swung her around. Then slowly he lowered her and when their faces were parallel he kissed her softly on the lips.
We may be a thousand miles
apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are
A tear rolled down Olivia's face and Elliot wiped it away. "I love you too Elliot" she said smiling and looking directly into those big blue eyes of his.
I'm already there
Take a look
around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the
ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the
end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh
I'm already
There
They kissed again and went inside. He shut the door behind them with a big smile on his face.
