Thank You

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

I'm running late again this morning. Make a cup of tea, fly through the shower, drink what I think is hot tea quickly and spit what turns out to be cold tea into the sink. Note to self: Turn kettle on next time. I double check my diary and gape at it in shock. I should be at work right now. I'm halfway to the bus stop in the pouring rain, unable to see three feet in front of me, when I remember I 've forgotten my gym gear.

And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

Back at my houseI can't find my workout shorts *anywhere* I'm frantically scrabbling through my dirty washing, when I remember - they're on the line. Wonderful. I peer out the window but the damned rain makes it impossible to see anything other than - you guessed it - rain. As I turn around, a framed picture of the Three Musketeers as we were known catches my eye. Just looking at his grin makes me feel better and his words "It can always be worse" sound in my head.

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again

Getting drunk on a Sunday night is fine, as long as you don't have to work on Monday morning. A sudden recollection of the unpaid bills sitting on my bench makes my head pound harder. I'll get home to no gas, no electricty, no phone and if I'm really lucky, no water. The bus leaves the stop ten seconds before I get there, which means I'm going to be late... again. I may as well not go.

And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day

And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad

I'll get there and discover the boss wants to talk about my contract. It's up for negotiation and knowing my luck, I'm not gonna get signed again. That bitch my ex is now married to will be full of snide comments and implying that I'll be gone before the show tonight. I'm ready to just go home and his number flashes up on my caller ID. Hearing his voice again brings a smile to my face and I relax instantly.

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Sometimes I think that I haven't given him enough credit for everything he's done for me. Just seeing him again makes my day, especially when we hang out and joke around. Even though he moved on, when it comes to us other two , it's as though nothing's changed after all these years. It's as though we haven't changed, not one little bit.

Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through

Then you hand me a towel and all I see is you

I get back home and roughly shove the door open. I've just run from the bus stop in the still pouring rain and I'm cold and wet right through. Now I know there'll be no water and no gas. I'm about to put my fist through the wall, when I hear that laugh I love and have missed so much. He hands me some warm towels, straight out of the dryer as he reminds me that I gave you a spare key. Suddenly something occurs to me and it's like all the lights have gone out, because the only thing that's visible is him and that smile that he reserves for me.

And even if my house falls down, I wouldn't have a clue

Because you're near me

I throw myself at him and hug him tightly, resting my head on his chest. As always he calms me down and brings a much needed smile to my face. I swear, the entire world could implode right now and I wouldn't notice. As I look up at him, he brushes the hair out of my face and kisses me gently. I kiss him back and as the kiss ends, I wonder why I never realised how much I loveShawn before. He looks at me and I know exactly what he's thinking. We both start laughing as I wonder what Hunter's going to think about this.

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Everything with Shawn seems so new and special. It's the same old stuff we've done before, but it's different somehow. Nobody can hurt me, I'm so happy. Hunter hits the roof when he finds out, but I don't care. I can't believe I've known Shawn for so long, and never realised how incredible he was before now. He's always been able to make a bad day wonderful for me. I must remember to thank him for that.
