Finding Courtney
Chapter 8: It Must Have Been Love
Make believing, we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart but in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm and it's a hard winter's day, I dream away it must have been love, but it's over now it was all I wanted, now I'm living without it must have been love but it's over now…
"Hey Courtney, before we leave, can I meet this Jason guy? I'd really like to thank him." Courtney's mom said as they stood outside of the car.
"NO!" she yelled quickly, not meaning to be so loud.
"I mean, I said goodbye and he's asleep and has class soon so we should just let him rest don't you think?" she said with a convincing smile.
"Well, okay then." Her mom said with a suspicious look on her face.
"Let's go then," she said, anxious to get out of there before he woke up.
They got in the car and listened to the radio. Some stupid bubble-gummy pop song was on, Courtney changed it quickly. On the next channel was George Michael's song Careless Whisper. She liked it and left it there. But with the next song, she thought that her heart would explode as she got farther and farther from Jason.
It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
From the moment we touched till the time had run out
She closed her eyes and let some tears fall. She then leaned her head against the cold glass of the window and gripped the t-shirt on her lap. *I should have known that it wasn't just a temporary thing. It must have been love.*
Make believing, we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I've turned to water
Like a teardrop in your palm
And it's a hard winter's day, I dream away
She wrapped her arms around herself and pretended that they were his arms. She then started first to think of the times that they had really shared and then started to pretend that they were still together and all the things they would have done. First it was them sharing ice cream at an amusement park, then it was taking a long ride at late sunset in Spain on his Motorcycle. Then it was them getting married and their first dance. Then it was them dancing in the rain. She felt limp and weak like water.
It must have been love, but it's over now
It was all I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love but it's over now
I'ts where the water flows, its where the wind blows
It must have been love but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but its over now
From the moment we touched till the time had run out
Yeah it must have been love ..
Yes, there was no way of getting around it. It had been love. But now it's over and she can never go back and she will never get that dance in the rain.
