Her Town
Written and Sung by James Taylor
She's been afraid to go out
She's afraid of the knock on her door
There's always the shade of a doubt
She can never be sure
Who comes to call
Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend
Anyone at all
Anything but nothing again
Oh it used to be her town
It used to be her town too
It used to be her town
It used to be her town too
Seems like even her old girlfriends
Might be talking her down
She's got her name on the grapevine
Running up and down the telephone line
Talking 'bout someone said someone said
Something 'bout something else
Someone might of said about her
She always figured they were her friends
But maybe they can live without her
Oh it used to be her town
It used to be her town too
It used to be her town
It used to be her town too
Well, people got used to seeing them both together
But now he's gone and life goes on
Nothing lasts forever...oh no
She gets the house and the garden
He gets the boys in the band
Some of them his friends
Some of them her friends
Some of them understand
Lord knows this is just a small town city
Yes, and everyone can see you fall
This got nothing to do with pity
I just wanted to give you a call
Oh it used to be your town
It used to be my town too
You never know til it all falls down
That somebody loves you
Somebody loves you
Darling somebody still loves you
I can still remember
When it used to be her town too...

She lay on her bed...staring up at the ceiling as if it was
the only thing that existed. But even then, she was staring
straight through it as if it wasn't there...
"Dimando..." She whispered. "Why did you leave me?"
All her tears had dried up...so much time had passed...so
much heartache.
"You said you would love me forever..." She whispered.
"What happened? Was it something about me...?"
She closed her eyes....flinching as a knock came from the
door. She could never tell who it would be. So many
people had come by...with their fake sympathy...their fake
pity. She didn't want their pity. She didn't even want
their company. It was all so depressing.
With a sigh, she stood up and opened the door. Her eyes
widened slightly at who it was. "Mamoru...um...hello...would
you like to come in...for some tea, maybe?" She stuttered,
and cursed herself for it. Every time...Every time she saw
him it seemed as though her entire body acted on it's own...
He smiled at her...a geniune smile. "That would be nice..."
He said, running a hand through his dark hair. "So..how
have you been, Usagi? Everyone is worried about you..."
Usagi blinked, glancing his way as she fixed some tea for
him..."I'm fine." She whispered.
Mamoru sighed, and sat on the couch, waiting on her to finish...
On the coffee table was a bottle of pills...and a bottle of
alcohol. He frowned. Usagi... He thought angrily.
She came back into the room, and smiled at him...a fake smile.
But it was still there. He had heard from Rei and Minako, that
nothing could get a smile out of her. Nothing....but he had
promised them...that maybe...maybe he could help her.
Usagi had been so depressed lately...ever since...ever since
Dimando had left...It had been the biggest news in town for
the last few months. And he hadn't really had a chance to
talk with Usagi since it happened...no one had. It seemed as
though she had begun locking herself up inside...
"...You can tell them I'm fine, Mamoru." She whispered, setting
the cup of tea in front of him. "And you can tell them that they
can stop talking about me any time they want. The sooner the
better."
"Usagi...you know they care about you..."
Her eyes flashed dangerously. "Like hell they do. You don't
think I notice how the room gets quiet the second I enter it...
or that they change the subject when they think I'm there...or
better yet.....do you think I don't notice the way people glare
at me...as if *I* was the reason for it all...that...that...that
Dimando left!!!"
Mamoru stared at her, shocked. He had known she had placed
the blame on herself...for the divorce...for everything. And he
too had seen those same glares...When he had had his own
divorce not a half year ago....
"Usagi..." He whispered, reaching his hand up to carress her
face.
She jerked away. "I don't want your sympathy, Mamoru..." She
said angrily, turning away.
He grabbed her arm, turning her to face him. "Usagi! This has
nothing to do with pity! I..I just wanted to give you a call..." He
whispered...face close to hers. "This used to be your town...It
used to be *my* town too....You never know till it all falls down...
That somebody loves you...." His lips were brushing hers gently.
"I love you..." He whispered.
She stared at him, tears in her eyes..."Mamoru..." And she sobbed
into his shirt.
"It's okay Usagi..." He whispered in her ear, stroking her hair.
"Darling...somebody still loves you..."
He could still remember...when it used to be her town too...
