A/N: Hello again! I know I'm late in updating – sorry. Here is a new little one-shot from yours truly. It's a songfic. I was listening to this song and immediately thought of Percabeth.
Summary: Annabeth is alone in her bedroom, listening to this song on her iPod, and reflecting on her relationship. She compares the song to her old feelings about Luke and how happy she's been since she and Percy got together.
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO and I do not own this song
Hope you enjoy!
It Is You I Have Loved by Dana Glover (Shrek soundtrack!)
There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile, there's a truth
In your eyes
All throughout my childhood, I couldn't get the sight of those beautiful, sea-green eyes out of my head. Thinking back on it, there had always been something about the way he looked at me that made butterflies flutter in my stomach. His perfect, blinding-white smile, that truth and loyalty shining in his eyes – it always made my knees go weak. But there was something else and now I know what it was; love.
But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is where I belong?
It is you I have loved all along
It was so unexpected, that day Percy showed up at camp. I certainly wasn't expecting that day we became friends and especially not the day we started dating. I had always thought I belonged with Luke, by his side, loving him. But maybe it's Percy who I belong with – it's definitely Percy who I love.
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
It is you I have loved all along
I used to be so unsure about how I felt, but it's not a mystery anymore – it's so clear. All these years, my heart longed for someone and now I know that, all along, while I thought that person had been Luke, it was really Percy.
There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night
Without you
I remember how Percy and I got into an argument about Tyson (A/N The Sea of Monsters). It was only because I was afraid to tell Percy about my bad experience with a Cyclops. I ran away, avoiding him for the rest of the day, and cried myself to sleep that night: I felt so alone.
But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally, this is where I belong
And it is you I have loved all along
But now, I keep no secrets from him. I know who he is – my friend, who I can trust, as well as a little more than my friend; a friend who holds my heart. Now I know for a fact that I belong with him and that I love him with all my heart – I always have.
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
It is you I have loved all along
The blindfold has been removed. It is crystal clear. Why didn't I see it before? His arms held me close; he was the home my heart searched for, to be in during the storm. It's him – he's my love.
Over and over
I'm filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes through
My veins
Once again, like every other time that I reflect on my relationship with him, I start to cry. But they're tears of pure joy. I could feel his love pulsing through my veins.
And I am filled
With the sweetest devotion
As I, I look
Into your perfect face
His love enforced my feelings of devotion to him. His face was so perfect, every time I look at it, I melt. All these feelings overwhelm me.
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
All along
Yes, no matter what I used to think, then was then and now is now. There is no denying it – and why would I deny it? I love Percy Jackson and he loves me. He is the one I have loved all along.
