I don't own the characters or the show. Or the song.
Chapter 8.
The two people sitting beside me were unwilling to trade places with me. They were both businessmen types, I won't be surprised if they had the names John or Michael. I didn't bother to ask them. Clu might of asked questions and would of tried starting a conversation. But Clu is dead and Ezekiel doesn't butt his head into others affairs. When the sit belt sign becomes unlit I go to the tiny, always odd smelling bathroom. I remove my shirt and look at myself closely in the mirror. I knew I had lost some weight, just wasn't aware it was this much. Jeez I must admit I looked pretty bad. Nothing I can do about it right now though. I clean my torso the best I can without splashing water on my pants or the floor. Then the deorent is applied, I must admit I felt much better. And finally after I ripped off the tag I put on the shirt. I could figure out what to do with the old shirt later. People are starting to knock on the door so I decide to head back for my seat. And just in time for a drink and small snack.
At this point I remove the cd player and the cds from my pockets, there huge pockets. Flip to a cd at random, put in machine and hit the hit the shuffle button, and wait for the music.
The longing in my heart has stirred a faded memory
Of a young heart beating fast behind the willow tree
I was counting out loud, I only peeked a time or two
And the only purpose in my life was finding you
Singing Ollie, Ollie, everybody free!
Now was I chasing you or were you chasing me?
We all grow up and put away our childhood games
But deep inside I wonder if we really change
'Cause I'm still seeking, though I've learned to hide so
well
And I can still remember how it felt
Singing Ollie, Ollie everybody free!
Will I ever find someone pursuing me?
And then you caught me by surprise
I found my tears are in your eyes
I hear my heart inside of you
At last I've found someone who
Can free my soul
And love me too
I can't believe we hide so long and run so well
When all the while we're aching to be caught and held
But it's only in surrender that our freedom comes
And so I run abandoned to your waiting arms
Singing Ollie, Ollie, everybody free!
I belong to you and you belong to me!
Because when you caught me by surprise
I found my tears are in your eyes
I hear my heart inside of you
At last I've found someone who
Can free my soul
And love me too
God I love that song! It reminds me of Fiona and our relationship so much. I would really like this song played at our wedding, that would be so appropriate. I open up my bag of trail mix, close my eyes and continue listening to Michael W. Smith, while thinking about my girl. About how much I love and miss her. Then the most wonderful words I have heard in days are spoken.
"Please put your seats and trays to there full right up positions. We will be landing in approximately 10 minutes."
* The song is called Everybody Free by Michael W. Smith. It appears on This Is Your Time.*
