Title: It Is You (I Have Loved)
Author: I am Moo
Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie McGuire or the song this is based on. This song by Dana Glover is not mine, I'm just using the wonderfully fitted lyrics and adapting them to Lizzie. I also don't own the other song, I Can't Make You Love Me which is by the totally awesome Bonnie Raitt. All bow down to the goddess of sappy love songs.
Author's Notes: This is just a little fic to get my brain working for my other in-progress fic Stranger Things Have Happened (make sure you check it out). Happy reading! ~Moo
~*It Is You (I Have Loved)*~
~*There is something that I see*~
~*In the way you look at me*~
"Hey Gordo!" called Lizzie McGuire as she walked toward her best friend of 15 years. She was in the ninth grade at Hillridge and it was there third day back from summer vacation.
As Lizzie walked toward Gordo, he just stared at her. She was beautiful. There was no hiding it now, he loved Lizzie. Problem was - she didn't love him. Well, he couldn't be really sure about that even. She was perfect, he thought again as he looked at her walking down the hall to him.
'Why is he staring at me like that? He has this look in his eyes whenever he looks at me... I've never noticed it before...' thought Lizzie as she walked toward him.
~*There's a smile*~
~*There's a truth in your eyes*~
'He looks at me like I'm the only thing he cares about. Wow, that's a powerful thought...where did I come up with that?' she though. 'You didn't come up with that, it's what you see...' replied a little nagging voice from the back of her head.
"Hey, what's up?" she asked, having reached his locker which was right next to hers. Up close, his eyes told even more than from all the way down the hall. She saw love, fear, and apprehension in them, along with the normal happiness of seeing her everyday.
Brushing against him while reaching into her locker, she felt a chill go up her spine. 'Ok, what in the hell was that?? That's definitely never happened before!' The little nagging voice was back. 'Yeah, not until you realized you liked Gordo!'
~*Could it mean this is*~
~*Where I belong*~
She though about that while she was getting her books out, barely aware Gordo was talking about something, probably telling her there was bound to be a pop quiz in bio or something like that.
'Is it true?' she thought to herself. 'Do I really like Gordo? I mean, I've thought about it but never seriously...I mean, I saw him as my husband once but -' she stopped mid-thought. 'Shit! I've thought about him as my husband! HUSBAND! That can't be normal! Wow, maybe I really do love Gordo...'
~*It is you I have loved all along*~
Since this discovery, Lizzie went through the day in auto-pilot, barely doing much of anything. She probably failed the foretold pop quiz in bio and wasn't really sure what she got for lunch. 'Hope it was something non-toxic' she thought in the aftermath of her discovery.
~*It's no more mystery*~
~*It is finally clear to me*~
~*You're the home my heart*~
~*Searched for so long*~
All the signs were there: the way she felt when Gordo looked at her, the way he could always comfort her when she went through a break up, the way he always made her day just a little bit better just by being there.
'Wow,' she thought, 'How could I have missed it? I am so in love with Gordo.'
~*And it is you*~
~*I have loved all along*~
Walking home after a long day at school, Lizzie sat down at her computer and turned it on. "You've got mail!" her computer announced to her. Getting ready to click the 'delete' button in anticipation for all the junk mail, she was surprised to find one from Gordo. Skipping past all the other mail, she click on Gordo's. It had the subject line: I Can't Make You...
She quickly scanned the e-mail once, gasped, and then re-read it slower.
I can't make you love me if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel something it wont.
Here in the dark, in these final hours,
I will lay down my heart.
I'll feel the power, but you won't... no you won't.
Cuz I can't make you love me,
If you don't.
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see.
The love you don't feel, when you're holding me.
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right.
Just give me till then, to give up this fight.
And I will give up this fight.
Cuz I make you love me if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Here in the dark, in these final hours,
I will lay down my heart....
Lizzie, please meet me at the park around 8:30 tonight please. This is something I've had to do for a long time. I love you Lizzie. I know you don't love me, but just give me one chance. Tomorrow it'll all be forgotten but there's just one thing I have to do tonight. Please meet me.
Gordo
She re-read the letter several more times. Above were the lyrics from one of her favorite songs. Never before did she think anyone would say them to her. She would meet Gordo tonight alright - it would be a night worth remembering.
~*It's no more mystery*~

~*I have loved all along*~
