It Might Be You
(Stephen Bishop)
if I found the place,
would I recognize the face?
something's telling me it might be you.
Life he led was a lonely one. Harsh, but true. From as far as he could remember, he'd never had any delusions about meeting some girl, settling down, or getting hitched... Nah, that life - it wasn't his to live. And for a long time, he believed that. Heck, he believed in it so strongly that he was pretty sure that if, by some bizzare chance, love ever found him, he wouldn't recognize it even if it hit him in the face.
It was the same for her, he knew. (damn shame, he used to think, that a woman like 'Ro should ever trade hoping to find love for fighting for the damned Dream...)
Maybe that was why it took them so damn long to get their act together, he thought distantly. They'd both given up on love for so long, they hadn't seen it creeping up on them until neither of them could deny what was so plainly staring them in the face any longer.
Ororo stood before him, hands clasped together, awaiting his answer with tentative hope in her eyes. He shook his head and wanted to laugh at the picture the two of them must make, how much time they must have wasted just dancing around each other.
Well, whatever. They'd wasted enough time as it is - he wasn't going to keep her waiting anymore.
disclaimer: I've never seen "Tootsie", so I hope you weren't expecting any references to it. I just really like this song*
I figured I should just... get all the logan/ororo I end up writing out of my system. They keep writing themselves into my wordpad and I keep mindlessly making playlists for them (seriously, I have so many RoLo theme songs I don't even...)
*...yes, my iTunes has a lot of schmoopy, sentimental, wedding-receptiony songs. problem?
