"One"
Danny felt tears merge with anger and hurt. As he walked back from his "20" minutes lunch with CJ, he felt worse than he had ever felt.
Was it all a lie? Was he fooling himself? Would she never really let him in? He had never loved anyone like he loved her. God, he had never really loved before he met her.
And he knew he or anyone else for that matter didn't need to look very deep down to see what she really wanted. She wanted him, she needed him and she loved him! Why wouldn't she admit that?
Upon returning to his apartment he sat down on the edge of the bed they had shared. His hand slowly traced her side and he lay back and starred up into the sealing.
His eyes felt heavy and he quickly dozed off. Exhausted from the sheer disappointment he had felt when he realized she was still doubting his, her and their love.
After waking up he took a shower. As the water hit him he felt the anger still evident within him. Was this supposed to be this hard? After waiting almost 8 years for her kisses, touched and possible love he wanted more, he wanted all of her. Not only a quick and chaste kiss like this morning.
She kept putting the press, the President, the administration, transition memos, the President elect and anything else in sight between them. He had to make her understand that they could do it, that they could make it. But he also knew that she herself had to admit that her life as CJ Cregg was over and her new life as Claudia Jean Cregg, possibly Concannon, was beginning.
All he wanted was to hold her and convince her through his touch, kiss and actions that he loved her and that they could and would make it. Turning of the shower, the last angry feelings washed away with the water. There was only love and a desperate hope that she would soon realize how good they were together. He missed her as soon as she was out of sight or reach. With her he felt complete.
Pulling on a pair of jeans and a dusty light green blouse, he decided to fix himself a drink. Just as he felt the smooth liquid slide down his throat, warming him from the inside out, there was a loud knock on the door.
Life was about to get better.
"Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One
One"
