A/N: Chris/Lorelai set to James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover." I own nothing!
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Chris couldn't see where his marriage to Lorelai had failed.
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
Could he let the town judge him for their marriage?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
He could see that if he could just get her away from Luke, they could have a relationship. But he saw the end of that before Paris. He'd known.
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
Chris knew he had forced her hand in his proposal. She hadn't wanted it until he insisted that they belonged together.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
He felt that they belonged together because of Rory.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care.
If Lorelai would only care about him, they could have succeeded in marriage.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
Chris hadn't known how to be an adult until he followed Lorelai's example.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
He remembered all of the wonderful days they'd spent together. She was bewitching, and he couldn't help himself.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Lorelai was downright intoxicating to him, especially when they'd dated in high school. They had both had every lecture in the book, but it hadn't stopped them from crossing the line.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Chris knew that Lorelai was the only one right for him.
I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be.
He wished she could see how well they fit together.
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I've been the father of your child.
Chris knew, deep down, that he was using Rory as a bargaining chip to get to Lorelai.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Chris surveyed their broken marriage, their ended relationship, and knew that he would have to discover how to move on, because he had to. Lorelai already had.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Chris had begged Lorelai to reconsider, but her decision was final. He knew, though, that it was ultimately for the best.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
