Okay, so Angel's birthday is a couple weeks away, but I couldn't wait to post this. And I wanted to do it before she updated You Are My Life...hee-hee. Anyway, I'm going to be posting more of her B-Day present as her birthday gets closer. This is Chapter One, song is Word's I Couldn't Say and the couple is John/Janie from You Are My Life. Enjoy, read and review:)

Chapter One: Word's I Couldn't Say

Couple: John/Janie

In a book- in a box- in the closet

In a line- in a song I once heard

In a moment on a front porch late one June

In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

She left him standing there on the front porch to his L.A. home, and the moment she left seemed to pass by so slowly. The voice in his head whispering for him to make the right choice, and say it.

There it was at the tip of my fingers

There it was on the tip of my tongue

Here you were and I had never been that far

There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms

Janie was everything he wanted and she was always right there, whenever he needed her; whenever he wanted her. Those three little words danced on the tip of his tongue, beckoning to come out, needing to come out. Ever since his breakup with Melina, he had never gotten to the point of wanting to say it. He had the opportunity weeks ago, hell, even months ago.

And I let it all slip away

But being the opportunist was Adam Copeland's job. He had stood there and let her leave.

What do I do now that you're gone

No back up plan no second chance

And no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

So now she was gone. Gone from his house, from anywhere he could see her, but she wasn't gone from his mind. Oh no, there was a heavy burden she left and he knew he probably wouldn't get a second chance. There was no one else to blame, but himself and he knew that. And now, he couldn't get those three words out of his head.

Theres a rain that will never stop fallin

There a wall that I tried to take down

What I should have said just wouldnt pass my lips

So I held back and now we've come to this

And it's too late now

His world was falling apart now. He couldn't get her out of his head. The California native had tried his best to break down the walls that he built around his heart when Melina left him. What he should've said wouldn't leave his lips, and now they were both heartbroken. All because he couldn't take that wall down and let the remedying words flow.

Should of found a way to tell you how I felt

Now the only one I'm telling' is myself

Now, as he realizes it, he really should've found a way to tell her. If only she didn't make him so…speechless. If only, if only, if only; those were the thoughts that plagued his mind. Now, the only one he was telling was himself, and as he stared out at the rising California sun, the words he should've said passed his lips.

"I love you, Janie."
