Another day is going by

I'm thinking about you all the time

But you're out there

And I'm here waiting

Well, she's not coming here, and that's for sure. Damn, I thought maybe she would come and I'd take all her clothes off and. oh, man.

And I wrote this letter in my head

'Cuz so many thing were left unsaid

But now you're gone

And I can't think straight

I wrote her a letter in my head. "Dear April, Look, I'm sorry for being a perverted freak and making fun of Rent and you and stuff. Forgive me? I wove you. ~Chris" But I didn't send it because she'd probably slap me.

This could be the one last chance

To make you understand

I'd do anything

Just to hold you in my arms

To try to make you laugh

Somehow I can't put you in the past

I'd do anything

Just to fall asleep with you

Will you remember me?

'Cuz I know

I won't forget you

I'd do anything for her. Anything, just to spend one night with her all curled up in my arms. I would make jokes she'd appreciate. I like making her laugh, but I don't do it very often. Now that she's gone, I want her more than before. I just can't forget her, cause like I said, I'd do anything just to have her fall asleep with me.

So now maybe after all these years

If you miss me have no fear

I'll be here

I'll be waiting

If she misses me, she can just come back here. I won't leave the house until April is back, in case she comes looking for me.

This could be the one last chance to make you understand

And I just can't let you leave me once again

I'm dialing her number. Ring-ring-ring-ring and "Hello?" "Hello? April it's Chris." "Go away." "No, wait." * click * Damn, oh damn.

I'd do anything

Just to hold you in my arms

Try to make you laugh

Somehow I can't put you in the past

I'd do anything

To fall asleep with you with you ya

I'd do anything

There's nothing I won't do

I'd do anything

To fall asleep with you

I'd do anything

'Cuz I know

I won't forget you

*Ding Dong *

"Come in!" *ding dong * There's only one person I know who does that. April! "APRILL!!!!!!!!!" I answered the door. "I'm a pushover. So sue me." She stuck out her tongue. "No, I won't sue you. Can I kiss you instead?" "Go ahead." No slap. Wow. So I kissed her. And again, and again, until she gasped jokingly that she couldn't breathe. *************************************

It's years and years later. Years. There are a ton of us in my parent's old house. April, and me, and our kids, Annie, Max, Ben and Elizabeth. And it's been 6 years since I fell asleep without April.
