Let You Go
Jess listened to the radio; the murmur of words was lost on him. He had told her to leave; he was the one who didn't want her. He was the idiot.
There's a place off Ocean Avenue,
Where I used to sit and talk with you,
We were both 16 and it felt so right,
Sleeping all day, staying up all night,
Staying up all night.
Jess hadn't had a relationship since Rory. Sure, he'd gone a few dates but nothing serious. He contemplated calling her, but pushed that out of his mind.
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street,
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet,
We were both 18, and it felt so right,
Sleeping all day, staying up all night,
Staying up all night.
The only thing on Jess's mind was Rory, Rory Gilmore. He had loved her and he was almost positive he still did.
If I could find you now
Things would get better,
We could leave this town,
And run forever,
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yeah, yeah.
He looked out his bedroom window and stared down the street, to the hotel where she was. He crinkled his eyebrows and ran a hand through his dark black hair.
There's a piece of you that's here with me,
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by,
I can make believe that you're here tonight,
That you're here tonight.
Nothing seemed to make since anymore, every since she had left, no, since he had left her. But that was years ago, too many years ago. Jess was only eighteen and Rory seventeen.
If I could find you now,
Things would get better.
We could leave this town,
And run forever
I know somewhere; somehow, we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me,
And take me away, yeah
He let his hand rest on his desk and looked at the first couple of chapters of his new book. He called it Nothing Matters Anymore. He was sure it was about Rory. He hadn't had an idea for the book words just poured out of him.
I remember the look in your eyes,
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me not tonight,
Not here,
Not now.
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
We'll be together for one more night,
Somewhere, somehow.
He pushed the thought of Rory into the back of his mind. He turned the music up, just so he could forget. He turned on the TV and lied down on his bed. Jess sighed, he tried to fall asleep but he couldn't.
If I could find you now,
Things would get better.
We could leave this town,
And run forever
I know somewhere; somehow, we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me,
And take me away, yeah
All Jess was doing was tossing and turning. He was honestly trying to sleep, but he just couldn't. He was in pain, in deep pain. And there was nothing he could do about it.
