I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
Oh but baby most of all
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
And make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss the colours that you brought into my life
Your golden smile those blue green eyes
And I miss your gentle voice at lonely times like now
Sayin' it'll be aliright
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss those times, I miss those nights
I even miss our silly fights
The makin' up, the mornin' talks
And those late afternoon walks
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
Lorelai had spent the entire day in bed. Sookie had picked Gigi up early to take her out with the kids for that day to give Lorelai sometime to herself. But she didn't want to do anything. Talk to anyone. She just wanted to think.
It had been a month since the funeral, a solid four weeks. In all that time the pain hadn't subsided, it was still so raw, so... real. Christopher was gone and there was nothing else she could think about. It hurt, real bad, and she was starting to feel she wouldn't get through it.
She needed Rory, but they still were barely talking. Lorelai thought that Christopher's passing would bring the two of them together. They needed each other now.
And Luke! Lorelai needed Luke, but he wasn't around. Well, he was always around. He'd come by everyday, with food, and toys. But she wasn't noticing him, not really. Her mind was on Christopher.
She was crying herself to sleep at night, she couldn't believe the pain in her heart. A long time ago she'd given up on anything between her and Christopher, but now that it was final she couldn't put the what if's out of her mind
What if they'd gotten married when she was pregnant?
What if they'd gotten together when he showed up ready to commit?
What if Gigi had never entered the picture?
What if?
When the telephone rang it made her jump. She hadn't picked up since that fateful day, she always phoned back. But she was being silly, Christopher was dead. He was gone now, she couldn't get that phone call again.
"Hello?"
"Lorelai?"
"Dad, what do you need?" she asked. She heard a sigh on the other end. "Dad, dad, what is it?" she asked when he said nothing.
"Are you sitting down?" her father asked. Lorelai began to shake.
