A/N: Hey, folks! I'm back again. So many of you guys requested a second oneshot with Olivia's point of viewthat I decided to write it. While choosing a song, I realized there were several other songs I wanted to write songfics to, and I made the decision to make this story into a collection of songfics (that's why I changed the title to "Finzioni Di Canzone", Italian for song fictions). But instead of me choosing the songs, I decided to let you all choose the songs. All you have to do is review leaving the song title and artist you want to see a songfic for. Keep in mind that I only do Elliot/Olivia stories so don't request any songfics for another ship. So get reviewing! Oh, and by the way, the song is "Far Away" by Nickelback :)

Summary: "I thought that when I came home, we could be together. I thought that we could give it a shot. I want to give us a shot." EO. Songfic.

Far Away

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait

Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I never left, if I never went undercover. Maybe you would be holding me right now. Maybe you would be wiping away the tears that are freely falling from my eyes. Maybe you would notice that I'm standing right behind you, watching you kiss her.

Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left

Though it's hard to see with your bodies pressed so close, I can see that this woman is beautiful; more beautiful than I'll ever be in your eyes. And frankly, Elliot, I only want you to see I'm beautiful.

'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long

I miss you now more than ever. Sure, you're only standing a few feet away from me, but your heart is drifting away from me and toward her while my heart is slowly crumbling into nothing.

I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

I thought that when I came home, we could be together. I thought that we could give it a shot. I want to give us a shot.

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand

But apparently, I'm too late. This woman, whoever she is, has obviously captured your heart. It pains me to see you with her, but more than anything I love seeing you happy. Only this time I wish you were enjoying a weekend with your children rather than standing outside your apartment building swapping spit with this woman.

I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up

I don't even notice the fact that I'm wearing a t-shirt in the middle of fall. I don't notice the cold currents whipping at my face. I can't notice anything but you and her.

'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long

You really don't realize it, Elliot, but I'd give anything for you. I'd give anything to see you happy. Clearly, this woman makes you happy so I guess I'll have to give it up…give us up. But that's just it: I don't want to give us up. I don't want to give up hope, not that I ever had that much. Back then, I figured you'd always be with Kathy, and that I'd never even be remotely close to being with you. But when you got divorced…I hate to admit it, El, but I was glad. Don't get me wrong, I hated watching you go through pain, but it gave a small glimpse of hope that I did, in fact, have a small shot of being with you, if any.

I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

God, you don't know how much I missed you. You don't know how badly I wanted to see you. You don't know how I counted the seconds until I would see you again. You don't know how terrible I felt for not saying goodbye when I left. You don't know how much I cried at night, wishing you were with me. You don't know how badly I wanted to feel your arms around me, to get lost in your blue eyes, to hear your voice. You really don't know, Elliot.

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long

The time I was gone seemed like an eternity. I thought maybe a little time apart from you would do me some good. Do us some good. It appears that although it really didn't do me any good, it did you some good. And that's the only thing I truly want.

But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say

I'm not sure how long I've been standing here, or how long you've been kissing her. Seconds? Minutes? Hours? I just know it's been too long for my liking. I'm too preoccupied thinking of ways to maim this woman to realize that you're calling my name.

"Liv? Liv, oh my god, is that you?" He asks, placing a hand on my cheek. My body tingles as it always does when Elliot touches me. His face falls into a deep frown when he feels the tears staining my cheeks. "Liv, what's wrong?" I bite my lip, trying to stop any more tears from falling as I glance over his shoulder at her.

"Olivia, please…what's wrong?" I look back at Elliot again, who's staring at me with such great concern, I can't hold back the tears that are welling up and I let them fall again.

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long

He pulls me into a tight embrace. "Hey, it's okay. It'll be okay." I can see that my tears are drenching the shoulder of his dress shirt, and I pull back slightly. "Elliot, I…I missed you." He smiles gently. "I missed you, too."

"Elliot, I need to tell you something."

He nods.

"I lo-" I stop myself as I notice the blonde, Elliot was just kissing, again. "I can't. I, I've got to go." I ease out of Elliot's embrace, suddenly feeling a lot colder, and turn to go back to the car. I begin to briskly walk back to the car when I feel a familiar grasp on my arm.

"Hey, what the hell is going on?"

"Elliot. I can't. I can't ruin what you've got with her." It's then that Elliot realizes I saw him kissing that woman. He looks down, ashamed. "Olivia, I-"

"You don't have to tell me anything, El. It's okay. I understand." I flash a fake smile and nod slightly. "Liv, please…I can explain."

"Elliot! Just stop, okay? Just stop trying to fix us. It can't be done, we've been shown that time and time again. It'll never work between us, Elliot. Even though I love you so damn much, we would never be able to work, Elliot! Just let me go already!"

So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving
Hold on to me and
never let me go

Elliot's jaw is dropped and I suddenly notice that I admitted I loved him mid-rant. "Olivia? Did you just-"

"Is everything alright, El?" The blonde woman comes forward and stands next to Elliot. "Uh, yeah, I think so, Dani." Dani, that's her name…

I back away slowly and run the rest of the way to the car. The wind is rushing in my ears so loudly that I don't even hear Elliot call out that he loves me too. I drive away from Dani, from Elliot, from New York as fast as I possibly can.

"Goodbye, Elliot."
