Here Without You

It had been about almost 2 months after Kim had written her letter to Tommy telling him the news that she had found someone else. She still felt terrible about lying to him, but had no choice. She wanted him to be happy, and the best way she knew how to make him happy was to let him be free. She loved him, but the long distance relationship was so hard for her, and him alike. Florida was great, she loved the weather there and she loved the fact that she was following her dreams. It had taken a lot for her to get there and she didn't regret anything about it. She sat on her bed reflecting on where she was now, and what she had to do to get there. In her quiet reflection she remembered her friends back in California. Tommy stuck out in her mind. Out of all of them, he was the one whose support meant the most to her; and he gave it willingly. Even though she denied it to herself, and would deny it to anyone that asked, she still loved Tommy. She threw herself backwards, now lying on her back staring at the ceiling. The radio played softly as Kimberly drifted to sleep...

A hundred days have made me older, since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me...

Back in Angel Grove, Tommy walked into his room and threw his stuff on his bed. He checked his email, in hopes that she had sent something. Anything, just to tell him that she was okay, and happy. He missed her dearly and part of him hated himself for letting her go. Tommy fell into the chair, drained from a hard days work. There was nothing from her, but he decided that he would send her a message. The two of them always used to talk, and he figured that even if they weren't going out, that they would still be friends. And he didn't plan on bringing up any past histories either. He just wanted to know how she was and to tell her that everyone was missing her. Even thought that meant mostly him. They always used to talk; even about the smallest things. He had had a hard day; they had almost lost and if it wasn't for zordon, they definitely would have. He wanted to tell her about it, he needed someone to tell and she still knew what he was going through. She was a ranger at one point too, and could be trusted. She knew how hard it was to keep it a secret, and how hard it was to be a hero. ..

The miles just keep rolling, as the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated, but I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me

Tommy had finished the email. He wrote at the bottom "P.S. I still love you, and I always will, No matter what." He read it over and put the mouse over the send button. He quickly moved the mouse from the send button to the exit button after reading it again. A message came up asking him if he wanted to save the message. He clicked no, and thought about what he almost sent to Kim. He thought of when she had left. He went to the airport with her to see her off. He wished her the best of luck and gave her a kiss on the cheek, then telling her to call him when she arrived. The night before she left he had told her that he loved her and that he would always love her, no matter what; just as he had typed in his email to her...

Everything I know and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love...

I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me...
