SIMPLE AND CLEAN

I watched as he slept in his bed. He was so handsome and protective, and I loved him. But I had to leave him. I had to go. I had to leave his side. I kissed his head and walked out of the apartment. "Good-bye, Mulder," I whispered softly as I pulled open the door of number 42. A tear glided down my cheek, but I ignored it and walked to my car.

I sat, with my hands on the steering wheel of my silver car. I felt my eyes well up with tears, blinding my blue eyes. I kept driving, though; I had to keep driving. Lately, Mulder had given me a lot of things, and I couldn't stand to be with him. Mulder was too good for me. Only last night he had told me that he loved me, and told me not to leave. He told me that he felt simple and clean when he was with me and could never let me go. When Mulder said that to me, I felt so very special, like I meant something to the world. But I couldn't accept what he said. I replied that I loved him too, but I couldn't accept it, and that he might understand why I was saying this later and I didn't think that life was quite as simple as he said. His face was so sad after I had told him this. I felt bad, but couldn't tell him quite how I felt. So I left.

As I drove to my apartment, I began to think. Maybe life was just as simple as Mulder had said. I had no way of knowing if he was right. I did wish one thing though. I wished that he would hold me tighter than ever before and tell me that it was okay. That the future was bright and not to just accept it, but fight it. And that the morning would hold wondrous awakenings if we just waited. I soon realized that nothing was like it was before.

I kept hoping that he would wake up and phone me and tell me that he loved me again. I wanted to apologize, and have him hold me. But the phone never rang and I kept driving. I kept driving until I reached my home. I had walked away and he could never reach me again.

Sorry about the shortness. It's a very short song. Please R & R. Peace out.
