a/n Just a little freeverse about Ric/Diane. :)
He's always been there
Your good o/l/d
friend
with his kind eyes
and wise smile
who always points you towards the sun when you're trapped in the shadows
..
It was almost

That *first* time
so l/o/n/g ago
now
when you [[ended]]
u^p in each other's embrace
warming the other's heart
You never expected to
Take such a swift turn
down a street called
LOVE
the lines b/+e/+t/+w/+e/+e/+n
f~r~i~e~n~d~s~h~i~p
and love
b:l:u:r:r:i:n:g
until you c*a*n*'t tell the
difference
and no longer mind
..
He holds you as you sleep
And you've never felt so /safe/
so -HAPPY-
in your entire little life
until this moment
..
People don't
{{can't}}
understand
that you love him
and he loves you
because he's
older
-so much older-
TWENTY YEARS
Than little y/o/u/n/g you
They talk
And laugh
and never do they think you'll

as long as you do
..
He's been =married= before
Said those vows and never quite been able to take those WORDS back
Even though you know he doesn't care
about them %anymore%
and he's ::with:: you now
The doubts creep in
e.v.e.r.y now and again
but every night
when he h(old)s you
they disappear
..
You've never had something quite this
****precious****
before.
You've always been treated
/badly/
By the men you've let in
Been {{burnt}}
Too many times
Just to let him steal your heart
Like t-h-i-s
..
It would be soso much
EASIER
To let him get away
Because your heart wants to
Let him
But your head
[[it's always the head]]
Tells you to walk away
So you
D

..
You stay friends
You and he
And he still points you to the sun
Except you see that his heart just isn't in it anymore
(((Maybe that's because it's safe with you)))
You never l/i/n/g/e/r

Moving on

He's still your good old friend
Just the good old friend you fell in love

And let get away
Something you'll always
-regret-
but never say
