Tell me that you love me one more time
Before you leave, before you leave
Wrap your arms around me hold me tight
Before you leave, before you leave
He liked watching her sleep, when he couldn't sleep. She was always the calmest when she was sleeping. He played with her hair as he watched her sleep now, it was longer and she was curling it and now she had bangs. Her sleeping face was her most beautiful face. He loved this face her mouth was open in such a way that it looked like she was singing. Jane slipped his left arm under Teresa's body and wrapped his right arm around the rest of her naked body and breathed in the scent of her hair.
Whisper to me softly in my ear
Before you leave, before you leave
Tell me that you'll miss me when you're not here
Before you leave, before you leave
Patrick got up from the bed a couple hours later; he walked around Teresa's house wandering from room to room like a ghost. He thought about how beautiful she was, he loved being with her, when they made love every noise she made became the most pleasant thing in the world for him. Whenever they were together she chased away all his demons. And that's what worried him that his demons would become too much for her and he agonized over the fact that she might leave. He wondered if he should leave, so that he could pretend to protect her.
When you get to where you're going
Would you call and let me know you're ok?
'Cause I'll be thinking 'bout you
Won't you ease my mind and let me know you're safe?
He walked towards the bedroom leaned his head on the doorway and watched Teresa sleep. Patrick imagined her leaving; he could see in his mind her telling him it was too painful for her to keep their relationship going and that she couldn't support them both anymore. He could feel a lump forming in his throat he realized how much pain he was causing her when he would leave and when he stayed. He steeled himself from crying, he didn't want to cry. "Patrick." From Teresa's bedroom he heard his name, it was almost a whisper, and he realized she was talking in her sleep. The sheets on the bed were moving around and he realized she was reaching for him in her sleep.
The weathers turning, don't forget your coat
Before you leave, before you leave
Listen close, there's something you should know
Before you leave, before you leave
Patrick didn't go in even though Teresa was calling him and reaching for him in a state of weakness. He wondered what he would do if she wasn't there, he would probably self destruct even more quickly than he was now. He would have wounded himself more if she wasn't around anymore. She was calling his name now even more, he couldn't resist anymore.
The darkness that shadowed you was mine
It was never yours at all
The light behind your eyes that used to shine
Gets brighter as you walk away
Once he came to her side of the bed she immediately reached for him, latched on and refused to let him go, he smiled and let himself be pulled back into the bed. She hadn't really been asleep, she had been calling his name because she gotten scared and wanted to know where he was, she realized she desperately needed him, it was vital that he stayed with her. When he hadn't come the first time she called his name she had started to cry silently, because she was worried he would never come back. Once she had pulled him back into bed using a death grip she cursed herself when she realized he would be able to see the tear stains on her face. However he just soothed her back into sleep, stroking her hair and holding her tiny fragile body tightly.
Tell me that you love me one more time
Before you leave, before you leave
Wrap your arms around me hold me tight
Before you leave, before you leave
