Maura was laying in her bed, restless from the day's events, and from her current thoughts. It was the middle of the night, but Maura couldn't keep herself from worrying about Jane yet again.
Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh huh.
One of Maura's favorite Pearl Jam songs popped into her head. It seemed to fit the situation perfectly.
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh huh.
As a forensic pathologist, Maura knew that everyone died in the end, but she tried hard not to think about it when it came to people she loved.
Oh, I'm a lucky man to count on both hands; the ones I love. Some folks just have one. Yeah, others, they got none, uh huh.
Maura thought of Jane and her hands. Jane might not have liked her scars, but Maura thought they showed everyone her character. She could trust those hands of Jane's with her life.
Stay with me...Let's just breathe.
As a cop, Jane endangered here life daily. Maura could only ask of Jane to just keep on breathing, if only for her.
Practiced are my sins, never gonna let me win, uh huh. Under everything, just another human being, uh huh.
Life would always get in the way of Jane's happiness. She may have appeared so tough all the time, but Jane still needed some kind of love.
Yeah, I don't wanna hurt. There's so much in this world to make me bleed. Stay with me...You're all I see.
Maura and Jane belonged with one another, in every sense of the word. But Maura wouldn't be able to bear it if Jane spilled just one more drop of blood.
Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you?
Maura loved Jane and only Jane, even if Jane didn't quite know it yet.
Well, if I didn't I'm a fool, you see. No one knows this more than me.
Maura hadn't gotten the chance to tell Jane of her feelings, and she knew that if she didn't speak up soon, Jane might never know.
As I come clean, I wonder every day as I look upon your face.
Maura saw Jane's face every day and read every crease on that beautiful skin, and she saw the toll that her detective work took on her body.
Everything you gave and nothing you would take, uh huh. Nothing you would take; everything you gave.
Jane always sacrificed her body for the job, and never accepted anything for her commitments to the Blue Line. She was dedicated; everyone knew that.
Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? Well if I didn't, I'm a fool, you see. No one knows this more than me.
One day, Jane would shed a lot more than a little blood. Maura might not be able to save her. No one could beat the odds so many times. But Jane needed to know how Maura felt or she would never forgive herself.
As I come clean, ah-ah.
Maura felt she belonged with Jane; the world would soon know it.
Nothing you would take, everything you gave. Love you till I die; meet you on the other side.
Even though she knew she was repeating herself, Maura knew Jane was her soul mate for all eternity. She only hoped that the "life" part of forever would stretch as long as possible.
These were the last thoughts going through the Maura Isles's mind as she fell asleep thinking about the love of her life.
