Daniel just sat on his bed after the song was done just thinking and staring at the letter in his hands. He didn't know what to do. He had no idea that Sam felt like this, but he knew that he had to do something. So with tears in his eyes that threatened to fall, he went over to the desk, got a piece of paper and pen and started writing.

After he was done, he put the letter in an envelope and walked to Sam's lab. He met up with her half way there. He gave her the envelope and CD and left to go home for the night. Sam took the things and headed to her quarters on base to grab a few things before heading home. One she got home, she opened the letter that Daniel gave her, wondering what it was for…

~*My Thoughts of You*~

Dear Sam,

I'm not really sure what to say, which is odd because I always seem to know what to say in diplomatic situations. I guess I just have a problem with discussing my personal feelings with anyone. And I know that you know that better than anyone. I didn't realize at the time that you noticed how I changed before ascending. I guess that it makes me feel good because I thought that you guys really weren't paying enough attention to me… and now I realize that I shouldn't have thought that, but I did. I now realize the extent to which you always went to make me fit in. You always did this for me.

When I saw you on Abydos, I just didn't know what to think. I was shocked that Jack and everyone else came though, but then I saw, well rather, heard you and your excitement over the DHD. I wasn't about to stop you because I know how I was when I first saw it. I saw a familiar spark in you that was also in me. I remember how confused I was when Jack introduced you as captain and you introduced yourself as doctor. I had no clue what to call you, so captain doctor seemed good at the time. I saw the look on your face when I called you that, you just didn't care about anything else that day except science, so I could of called you anything and you wouldn't have cared.

You helped me so much when I came back to Earth when Shar'e was taken from me. I really don't know what I would have done without you. You helped me deal with my loss and help me fit in. So after we knew for sure that we were a team, I went and looked up information on you. I know, I probably shouldn't have, but I did. Even though you were an air force captain and your dad a general, you still love the science part of it and I respect you for it. I know that your first priority is the Air Force, but I love it when we get together and discuss science stuff. It was then that I felt I had you all to myself, because I knew that no one else could understand either of us.

I could easily have, probably did fall in love with you the day I met you. How ever I could not tell you. But I felt that there was never a good time to tell you, first Shar'e, then Martouf, and finally Jack. I know that he has feelings for you, but I don't know how you feel about him. But then it can't be true because you told me that you love me. God, I've waited forever to hear those words from you, I was starting to think that I would never hear them. I love you, Samantha. So much, I only wish I told you before this. I'm so sorry about the feelings that you went through while I was gone, I really am.

I hope that we can figure this out. By the time that you get this, I'll be at home. So if you need to talk to me, catch me there. I hope to talk to you soon.

With all my love,

Daniel

Sam sat on her couch not really knowing how to feel. It was all here, he loved her. She looked at the CD that was with it, and stuck it in the player. She noticed it had only one song and that the lyrics were included. She pressed play and sat back down to listen to it. After the song was done, she grabbed her coat and headed to Daniel's apartment.

"Anywhere"

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me

And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free

I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you

And at sweet night, you are my own

Take my hand

[CHORUS:]

We're leaving here tonight

There's no need to tell anyone

They'd only hold us down

So by the morning light

We'll be half way to anywhere

Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I

No one knows who we are there

All I want is to give my life only to you

I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore

Let's run away, I'll take you there

[Chorus]

Forget this life

Come with me

Don't look back you're safe now

Unlock your heart

Drop your guard

No one's left to stop you

Forget this life

Come with me

Don't look back you're safe now

Unlock your heart

Drop your guard

No one's left to stop you now

[Chorus]
