Stephanie POV
Joe was still asleep. I was watching him. He looked peaceful. I wanted to love him. I wanted him to be the one. I'd make him happy, I'd make my family happy, and I'd make the town happy. I just couldn't get my mind off Ranger.
Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know
Everyday I find reminders. I tried. I believe that I really tried with Joe. For years I've been trying. I've wanted him to be enough, but he never was. I'm being unfair and I'm hurting him. I think he knows; maybe he doesn't…
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What do I do? if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Ranger always made me feel better. He blows my mind and makes me feel completely safe. He's saved my ass more than once and never complains or scolds. I'd give him all of me, if he'd have me. Instead, after our one night of wonderment, he sends me back to Morelli. It broke my heart. I've never felt so unwanted. Why didn't he want me? The kisses never stopped, the help never stopped… why is his fear of me so great?
You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of a winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test
I need to leave Joe, but how? It's not like we're fighting and our Italian tempers are flaring. The contentment is there…it's just not enough. I can't believe it's gotten to this. I never wanted to hurt Joe like this because I do care about him.
He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What do I do? if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...
I'm afraid. I'm afraid to leave a sure thing for someone who might not want me. I'm afraid to take the chance again. I opened myself and he turned me away. I admit I've been hiding a bit… I don't want to face the rejection again.
You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know
I walk downstairs. I sit on Joe's couch and stare into the darkness. I see the flash of headlights and go to the window. The car drives by and I get a pang of disappointment. I curl up on the couch and pull a throw blanket over me. There is a noise in the kitchen and I feel a familiar tingle. I climb over the back of the couch and see him. He takes me in his arms and I collapse against him.
"I knew you'd come for me"
Cause when I'm with him (Ohhhhhhhhh)
I am thinking of you (Ohohohhoh)
Thinking of you (Oh!)
What do I do? if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay...
I woke up on the couch… could it have been just a dream? It was so real. I was so sure he'd come.
