There's something I can't quite explain
I'm so in love with you
You'll never take that away
And if I've said it a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You'll never take that away
There was one thing Remy LeBeau thought he'd never do: fall in love. Yet, here he was, so in love with a girl that she completely consumed his thoughts. He woke up and thought about her, he went on missions and thought about her, hell, he even thought about her as he dreamed.
The best thing about this, the girl actually loved him too. He was convinced that he would still love her even if she broke his heart. He loved his Rogue and he would tell her this frequently.
"Have I told y' dat I love y' lately?"
"Only 'bout a hundred times today."
"Expect m' t' tell y' even more 'fore de day's over. I'll always love y' an' no one can take dat away from us."
So expect me to be
Calling you to see
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile
"Chére?"
"Remy?"
"Y' doin' okay?"
"Ya just saw me this morning."
"I know, but I wanted t' make sure dat y' okay, since m' not dere t' see for m'self."
"That's so sweet, Remy."
"Chére, I got a question."
"Yeah?"
"Do y' love me?"
"Ya know that Ah love ya."
"I know. Jus' love de way dat sounds comin' from y'."
"Chére?"
"Yeah, Rem?"
"Do I try too hard t' make y' smile?"
"No. Havin ya around makes me smile."
Remy couldn't help but smile at this. He loved the frequent conversations they had like this when he was on missions that she wasn't included in.
I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping, are you dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
"Chere?"
"Hmm?"
"Were y' asleep?"
"Yeah."
"Were y' dreamin?"
"Mhm."
"Were y' dreamin 'bout me?"
"Actually, Ah was."
I'm one lucky homme for such a belle fille t' pick m'.
I thought that the world had lost it's sway
It's so hard sometimes
Then I fell in love with you
Then came you
And you took that away
Before Rogue, the world had lost it's appeal for Remy. He'd swindled most of the poker players he could find. The girls that constantly fell for him were nothing, just one night stands. Every day was the same old thing. It was boring really. Remy had found it hard to fid anything that could really hold his interest.
All that changed when he fell for the mysterious girl with the white streaks in her hair. The world had meaning again. His life finally had more of a purpose than to steal this or that.
It's not so difficult
The world is not so difficult
You take away the old
Show me the new
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I'm on this phone
A hundred miles from home
I'll take the words you gave me and send them back to you
The world wasn't so hard, he had found out. When you had someone with you who stood behind you, it became almost easy. Maybe it was the lifestyle change that had come along with her.
Gone were the meaningless flings, having sex for the sake of having sex. Gone was the late night poker games with men that too drunk to realize what was going on. Gone were the days of thieving and cheating death. And gone were the mass amounts of alcohol and cigarettes consumed.
Rogue had shown him a man deeper than that. A man that actually gave a damn about other people. She had shown him that there was a good person in him rather than the one with many vices that people generally saw and associated with him.
Even now, a couple hundred of miles away from home, Remy was the same as he was around her. Her words were playing in his head, wanting him to be better, if for no other reason than her. Her mere presence could make him fell weightless.
I only want to see
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile
"Y' sure y' okay by y'self?"
"Yes, Remy. For the last time, Ah'm fine."
"I could come back if y' aren't."
"Remy, I love ya, but yah gonna drive me crazy." Rogue's affectionate tone took the sting out of the words.
"So y' do love dis old Cajun."
"'Course Ah do. Ya the love of my life."
"Dieu, Rogue, y' don' know how much I love hearin dat."
"As much a Ah do. And 'fore ya ask, no ya not tryin too hard."
Remy chuckled. Luckily he didn't have to resort to telling stupid jokes to try to get a smile out of the woman he loved most of the time. It killed him when he called and couldn't hear that tone of voice that let him know she was smiling. He'd give up his happiness in an instant to make her happy.
I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping, are you dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
"Hey, belle."
"Hey, Rem."
"Were y' sleepin?"
"Not this time."
"I was gonna ask y' if y' were dreamin 'bout me, but…"
"Ah still was dreamin 'bout y'. Daydreamin, at least."
"What did I do t' deserve y'?"
"Same thing Ah did to deserve ya."
