Title: For Now
Author: Josephine (tobyjo44@hotmail.com)
Summary: Tess POV, pre-Crazy
Disclaimer: I don't own them. Too bad really… I can come up with better
plot lines that the Roswell writers… (IMO)
Author's Note: I love Tess, don't diss the girl. She's an angel.
Thanks: To Allana, who is a really incredible writer and beta reader! I love
you, babe. Also- to Emilie De Ravin for being the most awesome actress
ever, and for playing Tess so well that I would learn to love her.
Some lyrics used are from Majandra Delfino's rendition or "In The Air
Tonight." (The song was originally written and performed by Phil Collins).
Others come from Everclear, Semisonic, Savage Garden, Lenny Kravitz,
Sonic Floor, No Doubt and Shawn Mullins (I'm not sure if that's actually
his name). I mean no disrespect to any of them by using the lyrics. .
Hello there. I'm waving at you, but you look away, pretending that you
don't know me. For now, all I am is the strange girl across the grocery
store, staring at you and waving my fingers in hopes that I'll catch your
eye. For now I am just a girl with striking blond hair and blue eyes that
you can almost see clearly now from this distance.
I am so sure that I must know you from somewhere… I just cannot discern
where exactly that would be. For now, you are a stranger, a handsome boy
across the grocery store from me, looking at the tobasco sauce. For now,
you will have to be content with sneaking glances my way while I wave,
and call your name in my mind.
I have the distinct feeling that this moment is a beginning (every new
beginning is another beginning's end), and for now, all I can have is that
feeling because you are ignoring me, and heading down an aisle so you are
blocked from my sight. I feel crazy- I want to follow you (I want to know
you, I want to see your face). You are as drawn to me as I am you, but for
now, you are avoiding the feeling because it is too new (you're so new), too
foreign for you to deal with.
I understand. I can wait (I've been waiting for this moment for all of my
life). For now.
Everywhere I go (I know… I keep you with me my darling) I find myself
searching out your face. I would know you anywhere after the grocery
store encounter. You don't realize it, but you have a very memorable face.
I think that I remember you from some past life… Nasedo tells me that for
now that is of no concern to me. I try to ignore him.
You know that you remember me too. A part of your mind remembers the
curve of my cheek better than you know your own. I know your face well (I
can't stop staring). Striking black hair, combed across your noble forehead
in spiky bangs, down to beautiful orbs of eyes that speak an essay with a
glance. The hazel permeates my memories. A nose is in the center that is
decisive, and yet caring, curving down to a mouth that hardly ever smiles.
I would die to see you smile again (I wonder if I'll ever see you again)
I am new in this town- there is no way someone like you would ever look
my way twice. Especially when you already have a perfect life (and all I
wanted were the simple things, a simple kinda life) - I would only
complicate it. I would only enhance it. For now you are blind to the fact
(that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down) that we are
meant to be. We were loves long ago, and I remember (I remember, don't
worry… how could I ever forget?). We were truly beautiful once… beautiful
together (she's hanging all her hopes on the stars).
But for now I am alone with my dreams, and you alone with your perhaps
perfect life. Do I dare and make an entrance? For now I am not so sure…
For now…
