How To Save A Life by The Fray
She walks into her office to find him sitting at her desk, feet propped up on some papers.
"Get your feet off of that," she orders. "It's a case file."
Gingerly he removed his feet from the desk and grins.
"I'm happy to see you too, Bones."
She comes behind him and prods him in the back until he gets up.
"Ok, ok, I understand."
He walks around the desk and collapses into the other chair and puts his feet back up. Off her looks he puts them back down.
Step one you say we need to talk
"I think we need to talk about us," she says.
"Us?"
"Yes, our relationship."
He walks
"Yes, well I am sure that would be very meaningful and deep but we have a case," he dodges.
"Please," she inhales, "I need to say it now. Please sit back down."
He sits.
"You and I both know our relationship has gotten past colleagues or partners," she starts. He interrupts.
"It has?"
"Yes, it has," she sighs, "and it's not working. We are close friends, so whenever we have a dangerous case involving each other it becomes emotional. We are letting our feelings cloud our judgment."
He smiles politely back at you
"So, are you saying we should stop fraternizing outside of work?" his smile wavers but doesn't drop.
You stare politely right on through
"No," she looks away. Not wanting to see his reaction to what she says. "I don't think we should see each other again, at all."
She looks up to see his smile disappear.
Some sort of window to your right
She looks away. Feels hollow.
"Oh, ok," he stands. He's hurt, "I'll go."
As he goes left and you stay right"Ok." she says.
Between the lines of fear and blame
She knows that she hurt him. She hurt herself. But it was the right thing to do. Wasn't it? She thinks about what she said, about their feelings clouding their judgment. That was true. But would it hurt more to not see each other at all?
And you begin to wonder why you came
Was it the right decision?
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
She walks along the street, oblivious to the people passing her, and thinks. She feels empty. He was the one person that could make her smile at her worst. Why had she pushed him from her life? Why had she been so stupid, so ignorant?
Somewhere along in the bitterness
She was wrong. She barely knows where her feet take her. But she likes where she ends up. She raises a fist to knock on the door in front to her. He welcomes her in and laughs at how she changed her mind. How silly her idea was.
"Couldn't keep away, could you?" he smirks. She laughs too.
And I would have stayed up with you all night
She releases that even if having him in her life could mean more heart-break, she would was willing to risk it. Because he makes her happy. He makes her feel safe.
