Here's the next bit, after Insensitive & What is this It also fits after 5 O'Clock Plane. And this one of mine, which is also told from Appy's POV, fits right here.

Hello my friend, sure has been awhile I don't know where the time has gone, but I've really missed your smile It's been too long I got so much to say, that I don't know where to start Ever since we went our separate ways There's been a big hole in my heart Why are you here? Why now, after all this time? I've gone back to being "Boxey's father" and "the Commander's son". Given up being Apollo of "Starbuck-and-Apollo". It hurt like Hades, but I did it.. (But) as I recall, it was you that said goodbye Now you're asking me to give it one more try I know, you think I broke up with you. But that's not the way I remember it. When I asked - okay, okay, accused - you, you just got up and left. You could have defended yourself, you know! You could have gotten angry. But you didn't. And now, somehow, even though it hurts, I'm drawn towards your flame again, like a feather-bug, about to be burned up. Maybe it's better than freezing to death alone. Well only time will tell If you're gonna stand beside me through both heaven and hell I wanna know that you're behind me But only time will tell If what we have together's gonna last forever more And so my friend, I hope you understand It's hard to put my trust in you 'Cause I'm afraid you'll leave again We were both stretched so thin. But, you see, that's when I really needed you - and you weren't there. Even when you were with me those last few times, I wasn't sure that you were *really* there. And then, when I told you I couldn't take it any more, and I wouldn't tell you what you already knew, you didn't even look surprised - just nodded and said, "See ya around," and ... left. No more secrets, Starbuck. No more cons. No more hiding. If I do this again - frak, *when* I do this again - I'm gonna be on my guard all the time. Can you live with that? With my suspicions? I want to believe, that you've finally seen the light That you've missed my love and you want to make it right But only time will tell If you're gonna stand beside me through both heaven and hell I wanna know that you're behind me But only time will tell If what we have together's gonna last forever more Was I wrong? Maybe I overreacted. *You* came to *me*. That can't have been easy for you. Things are rough for me just now. I need you. I can't talk to anyone else. Not like I can to you. But I need to know you'll be there for me. I got no way of knowing what the future's gonna bring So I'll just listen to my heart Cause it's never lied to me And what is meant to be Only time will tell If you're gonna stand beside me through both heaven and hell I wanna know that you're behind me But only time will tell If what we have together's gonna last forever more Time will tell Do you believe in me Time will tell If we're gonna be together Only time will I want a love to last forever Time will tell Only time will tell Lords, Starbuck! We could die any cycle - either one of us or both. I don't want to go filled with regret that I didn't take what you offered. I want us to be together forever. No, don't promise that. Don't promise anything. Just love me.
