AN: My second-last update before I go on holiday. The song is "When She Loved Me" from "Toy Story 2". Reviews and requests are still welcome, though with requests I may not fill them all. I would also like to apologise again to superfelix for the whole "yodelling" thing. Really sorry.
So the years went by.
I stayed the same,
but she began to drift away.
I was left alone.
Still I waited for the day
when she'd say, "I will always love you".
I wish I could name the day. If partnerships are like marriages, the day the spark died. When you don't want get up because it means another day of married life; I hear it usually happens when people retire, from knowing too much about the other half. I just remember looking up one day and seeing that look on Eames' face – she was wishing I would just disappear. Maybe she just knows me now? Knows that I'm really worth spending time with.
Maybe I should have just screwed up the partnership the right way while I still had the chance?
