Almost Honest

So in the meantime
You'll be resting on my mind
For the last time
I will leave myself behind
In the evening
Raise a glass and tell some lies
Make a pass, impress another girl,
She was easy on the eyes

She was easy
And so was I

My reflection
In the window when I ride for Chicago
She is on the other side
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love

Well I was almost honest
I was almost honest

Been a long time
Since I've lay with you in bed
Conversations, full of words you never said
I got your message
But I didn't hear the ringing bell
I gave into the loneliness
But I didn't give them nothing else

Which direction
Down this highway that I ride to Atlanta
She is on the other side
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love

I was almost honest
Well, I was almost honest

Yeah, Oh oh oh Hmmmmm

My reflection
In the window when I ride
Could not save us
But I swear to God I tried

Take a picture
Write a letter to my love

I was almost honest
But I was almost honest
Cause I was almost honest

Derek Shepherd was not the type of guy to fall in love. Ever since his first wife Addison he swore that he would never fall in love again. Seattle was his fresh start, until he met Meredith. She took his heart the first time he saw her. They had a great couple of months being a couple. But then it all came crashing down, Addison showed up.

It took him ages just to get Meredith to talk to him, but when she did they only words she could get out were "I'm leaving, don't try and find me,"

Derek never understood why she would do this to him. Addison and he were divorced. He just never got round to telling her that, when he turned up at her house that night Izzie said that she was gone all she left was a note.

Derek,

I am sorry for leaving you, but you hurt me when you never told me about your wife. I thought we were past the stage of secrets. The thing that hurts the most was that tonight I was going to tell you that I loved you, no change that I love you with all my heart. Its just I need time to think to process it all, but if you love me the way I love you, you will give me time and not try and find me because if you do then I will keep on running.

I love you so much.

Meredith.

You could tell she had been crying because of the smudges on the paper.

That night Derek drowned his sorrows in joe's, he was empty.
