~*~We've always been the best of friends

no secrets and no demands~*~

Lizzie watches Gordo helping Miranda with math homework thinking about the years of their friendship. They'd been friends for 18 years their entire lives.

~*~but suddenly from somewhere out of the blue

I see a different light around you~*~

But suddenly Gordo seemed different, Lizzie couldn't figure out what it was about him that 18 years into their friendship she hadn't seen, but there was definitely something different about him, if only she could pinpoint what it was exactly.

~*~one thing I haven't told you

I just want to hold you and never let go~*~

Maybe it was the fact that for the first time in their friendship Lizzie wasn't telling Gordo something, she usually told him everything. A couple weeks ago she had realized that all she wanted to do was wrap her arms around Gordo and never let him go. A feeling she had never felt so strongly for anyone, even Ethan Craft.

~*~I need to know

how do I get there from here~*~

And suddenly all of Lizzie's thoughts were consumed with how to make Gordo understand how her feelings had changed for him.

~*~how do I make you see

how do I tell you what my hearts been telling me~*~

How was she supposed to tell Gordo that suddenly she was in love with him? More in love with him than she had ever been with anyone else.

~*~lost in you loving arms that's where I wanna be

how do I get there ~*~

Compelled to finally do something to tell Gordo how she felt she walks over to him just as Miranda is about to go home. "Gordo can I talk to you before you leave?"

"Sure Lizzie what's up?" Gordo questions once Miranda has left.

~*~you probably think I've lost my mind

taking this chance crossing that line~*~

Gordo stares stunned at Lizzie's confession, "I don't know what to say…"

"I know," Lizzie nods, "that was my general reaction too. You probably think I'm crazy…"



~*~but I promise to be truer than true

lost in your loving arms

that's where I wanna be

you know I love you

how do I get there~*~

"Gordo I love you more than anything I needed you to know that. I need you to know that I want to be with you in your arms forever."

~*~the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line

but I'll climb any mountain you want me to climb

the perfect combination is your heart and mine~*~

"Lizzie I…" Gordo still stares stunned at Lizzie.

"I know, it's surprising, but I do love you and I am going to do anything to prove it to you."



~*~darling wont you give me a sign~*~

Lizzie stares intently at Gordo waiting for him to say something, anything. But instead of saying anything Gordo moves forward slowly kissing Lizzie softly on the lips and pulling away whispers, "I've been waiting for you to wake up and realize that I was right here."
