I can't believe it took me so long to find the Torchwood section here! I love Torchwood and I always thought this would be a good song for Jack. Please read and review!
Captain Jack was sitting in his office and was laughing with everyone. It was fun to be with them all. Until they all got up and left him. He was used to being alone. In a way, even when he was with them he was excluded. He saw how Owen and Tosh were getting closer and closer. And how Gwen would run home to be with Reese. They didn't know what it was like to fall in love so many times and then only have time itself take his lover away. He sighed and turned on the radio hoping for comfort but this song made the pain come back. He thought back to one of the most painful memories of leaving a loved one. When he left the real Jack back in 1941. He wondered what his lover was thinking after he left. He listened closely to the song.
Your fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images
He thought of them holding hands and beign so close with him.
You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick
He thought of how sad he looked when Tosh kept yelling that they had to leave.
Well, I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
These words, they were so close to Jack it hurt. He had to just keep listening.
We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images
He thought of Jack walking over and holding out his hand. He remembered taking it and slowly getting up to dance slowly across the dance floor.
And when you left, you kissed my lips You told me you would never, never forget These images No
The moment he had to leave and right before he left his went and passionately kissed him.
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
The chorus of this song was just so perfect to what he felt. It was painful but he just needed to hear this song again.
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?
Jack realized that he would always have this pain. His lover was gone and now he had to live with the memories. While his lover would never have to know this pain. He closed his eyes and softly sang alone with the chorus.
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
Jack sighed and turned off the radio. He just looked up at the ceiling as tears slowly started to fall down his face.
Well, how was it? I hoped you liked it and I may write more in the future.
