"If You Could Only See" By Tonic
Stella, the woman Clint had met at a bar about a month ago, was great. She was pretty and smart, but she wasn't Natasha. Clint tried at first to push those thoughts away but they proved to be much more difficult than he liked. Slowly, Stella forced him to stray away from Natasha and he had allowed it. However, It all fell apart the day Stella, in a bout of jealousy, had demanded he stop talking to Natasha. Something inside of him broke and the argument was not pretty. It was then that Clint realized he had no real feelings for the woman.
If you could only see the way she loves me
After all they've been through
Then maybe you would understand
All the times they shared together
Why I feel this way about our love
The times they risked their lives for each other
And what I must do
Stella couldn't keep them apart.
If you could only see how blue
Natasha was his everything
Her eyes can be when she says
She wouldn't say she loved him
When she says she loves me
But actions speak louder than words
Well you got your reasons
"You're with me not her Clint!"
And you got your lies
"I care about you!"
And you got your manipulations
"I love you Clint!"
They cut me down to size
He just stared at her.
Sayin' you love but you don't
She was lying to him
You give your love but you won't
And that was it for him.
If you could only see the way she loves me
He wanted Natasha
Then maybe you would understand
He wanted their connection they had back
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
He turned away from Stella
If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
He wanted Natasha's beautiful spirit
When she says she loves me
He wanted the loyalty she had for him
Seems the road less traveled
Shows happiness unraveled
He had taken a chance on Natasha before
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
It'd proven to be the best decision he'd made.
That's what you gotta do
It was time to do it again
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Stella begged him as he grabbed his things
You're stretching out your arms
To something that's just not there
He could see right through her lies.
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
And he'd been lying to himself as well
If you could only see the way she loves me
He left her apartment and ran to his car
Then maybe you would understand
He needed to get to Natasha fast
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
He needed her to forgive him
If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
He needed her in his arms
When she says she loves me
Needed her by his side
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
He couldn't believe how stupid he had been
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
Cursed himself for not seeing it all sooner
If you could only see the way she loves me
He jumped out when he arrived
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
Instead of the elevator, he ran up the stairs.
And what I must do
He saw her when he reached the top
If you could only see how blue
He walked rushed over to her and kissed her
Her eyes can be when she says
She smiled beautifully when they pulled away
When she says she loves me
So this request came from Black Widow and Hawkeye OTP who wanted a continuation of the last chapter where Clint realizes he wanted to be with Natasha all along. I hope you and everyone else enjoyed :)
