Hey peoples! I have, after much contemplation, decided to do a song-fic, but it's not the idea I had in my poll on my page awhile back, this is another song I thought of. Oh, and can you guess what pairing it's for? And thanks a million to my awesome beta, Serodezha!!!

What Can I Do?
I lay in my bed, thinking about him. About the fight we just had. Not the first and not the last.
I haven't slept at all in days
I couldn't go to sleep. What was wrong? But I knew, oh, I most definitely knew what was wrong.
It's been so long since we've talked
I hadn't seen him in forever, and here he goes, starting up about what I wore that night. The outfit wasn't that showy, was it?
And I have been here many times, yeah
I wasn't expecting him. He could have at least told me he was coming back, but why now?
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
Was it really my fault? I didn't know. All I knew was that he had changed, but that didn't stop my love for him.
What can I do to make you love me?
Or did it? Had I really changed that much in the few years we were apart? No, he changed, not me
What can I do to make you care?
And yet, some small part of me inside wished that I was wrong. That I betrayed his trust, and he was just expressing himself with his disgust.
What can I say to make you feel this?
I knew what I had to do.
What can I do to get you there?
I got up, out of my self misery, and went to find him.
There's only so much I can take
He opened his door and stared into my face, his cold, loveless eyes were just a disguise to what he really felt. "What do you want?"
And I just got to let it go
His attitude hurt me. I shook off
the cold comment and went on. "Look, I'm sorry about tonight. I
didn't mean for it to happen! It just…I
don't know. But I'm
sorry, isn't that enough?"
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
He glared at me "You never mean to do anything, ever! How can I trust you if you keep doing things behind my back?"
If I don't try and I don't hope
"Behind your back?" I screamed at him "You were gone for three years! How do you think I felt never knowing if you were dead or alive?"
What can I do to make you love me?
He lowered his eyes "I thought you would wait for me." He confessed slowly.
What can I do to make you care?
I was numb, angry, hurt, sad, and confused all at once. I did wait for him, didn't he realize that?
What can I say to make you feel this?
Then I realized, he wasn't mad about what I wore last night, he was mad about who I was with.
What can I do to get you there?
I so badly wanted to tell him, that it was all a big misunderstanding, a mistake, but before I could say anything, he slammed his door shut.
No more waiting, No more aching
That night, I slept on his doorstep, as if to replace all the times I had mislead him, and all the time we spent apart while he was saving the world
No more fighting, No more trying
But he didn't come out. And in the morning, I saw him come from the side of his house, and walk out. Walk out on me.
Maybe there's nothing more to say
I sat up and stretched, and I too, walked away.
And in a funny way I'm calm
I expected to be sobbing my head off, wishing I could take it all back. But I didn't.
Because the power is not mine
And as I walked down the streets of Ba Sing Se, I realized something.
I'm just gonna let it fly
One day, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a year, he too would realize himself that it was a mistake, and he would come back, back to me.
What can I do to make you love me?
But I would wait as long as I had to.
What can I do to make you care?
Because I love that stupid airbender with all my aching heart.
What can I say to make you feel this?
And, no matter what may come, I would always love him. Now, only he had to realize that.
What can I do to get you there?
Funny, how time goes so fast when you don't realize it, and then it's too late to take it all back. If I could, I would take back last night, and maybe, right now, I would be in his arms again.
And love me…
