Song: Said I Loved You…But I Lied (Don't be fooled by the title, it's a love song!)

Artist: Michael Bolton

Nameless Love

Said I Loved You…But I Lied

You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

He wrapped his coat around her shoulders, warming her instantly and sending a smile to her face. They walked along, her head on his shoulder and his arm around her waist. He couldn't figure out how something so great had come into his life. How could someone so unbelievably perfect even exist, much less be in his arms? He couldn't describe the feeling he got inside when he saw her. His heart swelled up with love and pride. That's my girl…she's mine… they wouldn't have it any other way.

She snuggled close to him, enjoying the warmth of not only his jacket, but also his arm around her and the love she could feel. His love for her practically poured out him, and she could feel it pulsing through his body. She couldn't live without him, and she knew it. She didn't want to try. She didn't even want to imagine her life without him in it. It was a nightmare that haunted her, but she knew she didn't have anything to fear.

Said I loved you but I lied
Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

They reached their destination, his house. They walked up the sidewalk to the front door and inside. They reached the living room and sat on the couch, wondering what to do. The silence wasn't tense, strained, or uncomfortable in any way. They were just enjoying the peace they had while it was there. As they sat there, cuddled close on the couch and lost in each other's thoughts, he thought about his feelings for her. No, it wasn't just love. Love could never feel like this. Love was insignificant compared to this feeling.

He put in a movie and then went back to her, pulling her close to him. She smiled inside and out. She couldn't hide her feelings. He could read her like an open book. No matter what was going through her mind, he knew. If she had a bad day, without her even telling him what happened, he would take her into his arms and whisper into her ear, "It's okay, baby." That rush of electric energy went through her every time he whispered into her ear, and he knew it, too. Never before had there been a couple more perfect for each other.

With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the oneHe tried to express in words what he felt, but he just couldn't. How could words fully explain what he felt for her? How could just words show her how he felt? They couldn't. Words carried no emotions. Words, no matter how fancy or complex, could tell her what happened in his heart when she was near him. She was the one he was supposed to be with.

Her life had been nothing without him. He had given her a new light, a new way of viewing the world. It was like she hadn't been living until she met him. She hadn't seen the good things in life, she hadn't seen the bright side of life. Now, with him in her life, she was not only viewing the bright side, but experiencing it. Her good feeling was inexplicable, unable to be comprehended by those who had never loved so dearly, but she knew that her endless good mood was because of his touch, his kisses, simply him.

Said I loved you but I lied
Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
Cause loved could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

He adjusted himself on the couch so he could look at her beautiful face. He whispered to her, "You know something?"

"Huh."

"I say I love you…"

"Yeah…"

"But I'm lying."

She sat up, her heart shattering. She pulled away from him and gasped out, "What?"

"I keep saying 'I love you' to you…but it's not true. What I'm feeling inside is more than love. Love could never feel like this. That 4-letter word can't even begin to describe what I feel when I look at you. I can't say, 'I love you' because it's just not true."

She smirked, relieved, and said, "So if you can't say you love me, what can you say?"

"I more than love you."

"I more than love you, too."

Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you...But I lied

A/N- Yay! Another chapter! Whoop! I'm still looking for song suggestions, and a few have reviewed their suggestions (thank you, by the way) which are on my list to check out! Please let me know what song you want to see in here! I'd be happy to check it out! As one reviewer for "College Years" (my other SLOZC fic, which most of you found this story through that one!) said, "I like you a lot less knowing you like country." Maybe not an exact quote, but close? I hope so. Anyway, I don't JUST like country, you know. This song is like, classic rock. I am a proud eclectic, meaning I like EVERYTHING! Not kidding! Country, pop, R&B, rap, jazz, rock (all forms- alternative, classic, hard, mid) EVERYTHING! I'm not such a fan for gospel, but I like some of the songs we sing at church. Well, I hope you like this chapter, it took me a while to get down. Things are repeated a bit, but things are getting deeper. This is starting to turn into an actual story, more than just a bunch of oneshots grouped together, so maybe I'll take this relationship a bit further…maybe…let me know your thoughts! Right now I'm grounded and updating is a little scarce, but please bear with me as I do my best to overcome this! (Just because I update doesn't mean I'm back on, it just means my parents were nice and let me use this little storage thingy to transfer stuff!)

Love,
