London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)
Performed by Heather Nova
/I'm coming, I'm coming home to you
I'm alive I'm a mess
I can't wait to get home to you
To get warm, warm and undressed /
It�s 12:30 AM and I�m making my way over to the Forman�s. This has been routine for me. I get up at like 12:20, I realize I�m alone and I go to Steven. His room is more of a home to me than this entire house. I just want to be in his arms, and for him to take all this shit away. He does it the best.
/There've been changes beyond my dreams
Everybody wants me to sing
There've been changes beyond my grasp
Things I'm sinking in /
I would have never thought that Steven and I would come to be where we are at. Sure, a couple years ago I was obsessive and wanted him to like me, but I never actually thought that down the road, we�d be as serious as we are.
I have changed a lot. I�m not some little naive girl anymore. I�m not as shallow. I�m not so needy. I don�t get hardly ANY presents from Steven, and I�m fine with it. I�m use to it. I�m use to us. I�ve sunk into him and these changes. And it�s great.
/So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do /
I carefully open the basement door and sneak in. He leaves it unlocked for me because he knows I�ll be coming around. I make my way towards his room.
DAMMIT! I just ran into this stupid little lego thing. What kind of idiot leaves it in the middle of a room?
I continue my way to his room. I walk over to his bed and smile; He looks so cute when he sleeps. I decide not to wake him and slip into his bed. But he wakes up anyway.
�Hey babe.� He says, opening his eyes, �Where have you been? I�ve been waiting for you.� He sounds so sleepy.It�s so cute. He�s so cute...
�Sorry.�
He smiles and leans in and kisses me. We kiss a little more, but then we settle in for the night. Wrapping his arms around me, I let out a sigh. All the shit that was going on; my dad in jail, my mom leaving me...he made it all go away.
/And when somebody knows you well
Well there's no comfort like that
And when somebody needs you
Well there's no drug Iike that /
�Jackie.� He says softly.
�Hm?� I nuzzle my head into his chest.
�How are you?�
�I�m ok...� I turn so my back is too him. I hate talking about me sometimes. It makes me feel uncomfortable...but...not so much around him. I just don�t want him to see my face. Even though I cry in front of him and only him, I try my best to keep it in.
�You know I know what your going through babe.� He runs his fingers through my hair, sending chills down my spines, �If you want to talk about it, go ahead.�
�I�m just...I don�t want people to worry about me. You know, Mr and Mrs. Forman, Donna. And I really don�t want them to feel bad for me. I don�t need pity.�
�I know.� He kisses my neck, �I felt the same way.�
�And I miss them. I miss my dad, and I miss my mom.�, I let out.
His arms tighten around my waist, �That�s normal Jacks.�
�I feel really alone right now. Like, I have no family left. It�s just me, in that house. And...I just feel small and tiny, and alone.�
�Your not alone, Jackie. You have me.�
He knew I needed that; to hear that; to be held. He knew that, because he knows me. Normally, if I was upset, my dad would just buy me something. That never really made me truly happy. But Steven knows how to make me happy. And right now, I�m happy.
/So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Keep me keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do/
I hate leaving this bed in the morning. Sometimes, I don�t. We just lay down here and when someone comes down, I just hide. As soon as they leave, we go back to laying down with each other. We don�t, have sex,or anything. We just lay there with each other and talk. Of course there is the occasional make out sessions, but afterwards, I don�t leave. I love being with him; I love him.
/And where l'm home, curled in your arms
And I'm safe again
I'll close my eyes and sleep, sleep
To the sound of London Rain /
It�s my favorite place in the world; in his arms. I feel so safe. Closing my eyes, I feel can feel his breathe on the back of my neck, and I know he�s falling asleep. There this little thing he does...well anyway, yeah, I know when he�s about to fall asleep. I go to bed knowing that when I wake up, Steven will be there for me.
/So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Keep me keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do/
Nothing heals me like him. Steven is the cure for all of my pain, all of my tears. He�s the only one who gets me. I could never open up to anyone else, like I do with him. He knows what I�m going through, and he�s going to stand by me because he knows what it�s like to be abandoned, and he won�t let that happen to me...I know he�ll never leave.
