A/N: This is a little writer's block breaker for me. "Wrapped up in You" is causing me problems, so I'm taking a break. Hope you like this little ditty!
"I used to carry this big old world
On my shoulders and back
I used to lie inside my room
Wondering where I'm at
I felt a chill running through my veins
And wondered: "Would I be saved?"
I felt the ice building in my soul
Would it melt away?"
Mac lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling. 'What is so wrong with me?' she thought. 'I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders, and I can't get it off.' She shivered as ice cold memories ran through her mind. Some were sad, some were of anger, some were just plain bad. But then she saw him. He was there, holding her, wiping her tears. She smiled.
"He's a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
He's the sunlight
Shining down on me"
Mac rolled over and looked at the digital clock at the bedside. Although she had her internal clock, Mac was so out of it that she had to look. '2:46! Damn!' Mac rolled over again and closed her eyes again, but thoughts of him kept running through her mind. Happy, wonderful thoughts of him.
"I used to worry my life away
Counting every dime
Shutting out the ones I loved
Never finding the time
And then one day I was overcome
By loneliness and despair
But deep inside I thought I heard
"Lean on me, I'm here"
Mac remembered how she shut him out, how she couldn't just open up to him. But then she remembered the night Webb faked his death. She stayed with him, saying she wanted to protect him, but in truth, she didn't want to be alone. She remembered how she cried, and how he wiped the tears away. She remembered when he left JAG, and she cried, and he just hugged her. She remembered when Mic left her, and she called him. He said he wanted her to come to him. He was there for her, even though Renee showed up because her father died just moments before she did. Then, when she showed up at his door after she found out Webb was dead. He asked what he could do, and he was truely concerned. She knew that he did love her, although he didn't say it.
"He's a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
He's the sunlight
Shining down on me"
'He does love me. He really does.' Mac smiled at the thought as she stood and walked to the kitchen for a glass of water.
"I pulled the burden from off my back
And tossed it into the wind
I streched my arms towards the sky
And let my life begin"
Mac realized that he was the one that held her heart, that he always had. She knew that she had to tell him. She just knew. She picked up the phone, oblivious to the time and dialed his number.
"Hello?" his groggy voice flowed over the phone lines.
"Harm." Mac took a deep breath.
"Mac? What..?" Harm rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked at the red digital display beside him.
"Harm, I just want to say that I know, I'm sorry and I love you too." Mac listened to the silence on the other end.
"Mac...How did you know? I never said it."
"It's easy, I just remembered everything you did for me. I read between the lines. Between the words you did say."
"Mac...Sarah...I do. I do love you. More than anything." They spent the rest of the night talking. Re-living good memories. Erasing the bad ones. At 7:03 A.M. she hung up the phone, and she realized the weight was gone. It was gone. She had let it all go. And it felt so good.
"And like a tree, I have measured up
Best when I've been cut down
And like a tree I have touched the sky
With my feet on the ground
He's a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
He's the sunlight
Shining down on me
He's a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
He's the sunlight
Shining down on me, yeah
Shining down on me
Shining down, Shining down
Shining down on me"
