This includes a song by 3 Doors Down that I love, yes it's a more modern song than this time, but it fits, you'll see...
Sitting on those steps, in the summer rain, darkness penetrating the gentle downpour, he thought. Of everything... everything he loved and hated... everything condensed into one thing, one person... his first love.
He started to sing to himself, a song he knew fit the mold...
One more kiss could be the best thing
One more lie could be the worst
All these thoughts of never resting...
Damn, what was that next line? Oh, well. He knew almost all of it... one line couldn't hurt. Not like it hurt her. She had been lied to, and kissed, all by him. And she didn't deserve a damn thing she had gotten. Including the sloppy liplocks.
In my head there's only you now
And this world falls on me
In this world there's real and make-believe
And this seems real to me...
She had believed it was all real. And she was crushed when the news broke out. Yeah, he loved her, but he had never told her that he did. He never told her who he was, what he was like. All she had of him was a name and a cradle of lies. "Jimmy, I can't believe you'd do this to me!" she yelled, and slammed the door in his face when he came to here with the truth. The bracelet he had given her lay in his hand once more.
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where i stand
You love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
He missed her already and it had been a week. She had ignored him everywhere she went, and strangely Murphy's Law had come into effect and they were meeting indirectly, everywhere. She was all over the place. And he envisioned her with him, in his arms, accepting his apologies...
"Hey."
She had come. She had actually showed up. "What are you doing here? You'll catch cold. Get back inside."
"I like a summer rain." The words came out croakily, unsurely.
"I see. There's a lot of mystery to it, isn't there?" she asked, a beautiful smile unfolding on her face.
"So... are you here to say something?"
"Gee, what a question. Are you ready to accept my forgiveness?"
He stood up and hesitantly came towards her, the rain taking him hostage. "What?"
"I forgive you." She put his arms around his neck and kissed him passionately, burning with energy and heat. He embraced her and put one hand on her back, bringing her closer to him. The water became heavier, soaked them both. When they broke apart to look at each other, she whispered,
"Tell me who you are."
Let me go...
