She's waiting for someone
Who could turn her life around
For someone who could make her feel
The way she used to feel
But he never comes
"You are so lucky, Olivia!" Alex exclaimed as she admired the vase of roses adorning Olivia's desk. Olivia nodded, but she knew different. The man she was seeing wasn't important. And all the roses in the world wouldn't change the fact that he wasn't the one.
She's dating, but no one
That she cares to talk about
And all the flowers in the world
Don't amount to much
When what you want is love
She'd give anything and everything
To fall in love
Just this one time she'd like to find
What she's been dreaming of
"Why are you always complaining, Olivia? With your looks, you could have your pick of any guy!" one of her friends pointed out. "But I don't want just a one night stand! I want someone who'll be there! Is that so much to ask?" Olivia demanded. Her friend only shook her head.
Well she could find someone to hold her
But that wouldn't be enough
Cause she'd give anything
To fall in love
Now she's looking just like
She'd rather be someplace else
Staring 'cross the bar
"He's still not here!" Olivia exclaimed. She had given this guy her number in an elevator, and he had promised to call. She was beginning to think this might lead somewhere, but she knew when to cut her losses. This guy had stood her up.
Lost in herself
Will he ever come?
She felt a tap on her shoulder a few minutes later, and she looked up. "Hey, Liv," her partner, Elliot Stabler, greeted. "Hey, Elliot," she muttered. "Expecting someone?" he asked, sitting down beside her. "Was," she corrected. They sat in comfortable silence for several minutes. "So, why are you here?" Olivia asked suddenly. "You weren't home, and I needed to hear a famaliar voice. This is your third home," he joked. "Why do you need to talk?" she asked. He exhaled, looking at her before he answered. "Kathy gave me divorce papers this morning," he admitted finally, putting his head in his arms. She gasped, then scolded herself. She had been so preoccupied with herself that she had not seen that something was wrong with the most important man in her life. At a loss for words, she made the only comforting gesture she knew. Edging closer to him, she laid her hand on his back and gently rubbed it. After a few moments, he raised his head and spoke quietly. "My marriage has been over for years. We just stayed together for the kids," he admitted softly. She continued to rub his back, as if to encourage him to continue talking. "The truth is, I'm in love with someone else," he whispered.
And she'd give anything and everything
To fall in love
Just this one time she'd like to find
What she's been dreaming of
Now she could find someone to hold her
But it wouldn't be enough
Cause she'd give anything
To fall in love
Her heart raced as he gazed at her with his cerulean eyes, now clouded with pain and uncertainty. "That's good. I'm happy for you," she lied. He continued to stare at her. As the rap song that was playing ended, and a slow song began, Elliot grabbed Olivia's hand and dragged her onto the dance floor. As the music played, he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. Swaying to the music, he leaned over and whispered into her ear. "It's you, Liv. It's always been you."
She's gonna keep on making wishes
She's gonna keep on bein' strong
She won't settle for less than true love
She's gonna keep on holding on
She stared up at him, her chocolate eyes meeting his cerulean eyes. And for a moment, time stood still. Their lips met slowly, and in that kiss, she discovered a new truth, or maybe something she knew all along. The perfect man did exsist, and he was right there, in her arms.
She'd give anything and everything
To fall in love
Just this one time she'd like to find
What she's been dreaming of
She could find someone to hold her
But it wouldn't be enough
Cause she'd give anything
To fall in love
She'd give anything
To fall in love
In love
THE END
