Author�s notes: Um, the whole thing might seem a little jagged and probably won�t �flow� too well. Thing is, I was desperate to write a fic, and this was the only thing that came. So, yeah, it�s going to be crappy.
What If It�s Me
You say you gotta take off
Meet the one you�re meant to meet
�I have to go.�
Four little words, and they stabbed him in the heart. He wanted to beg and plead with her to stay, to not leave him. But the words refused to form, and he could only stare.
But she didn�t move. �He�s waiting for me.�
He continued to stare, hoping that she would see in his eyes what he couldn�t say out loud.
�I�ll�I�ll see you later.�
You say you have to move on
And you can�t do that with me
But still she doesn�t turn to leave. She does lower her eyes from his gaze, as if ashamed. �I�m not sure if I love him, but I have to find out. I have to�I mean, we�we didn�t�� She trailed off.
He, too, turned away, unable to keep looking at her. It was hurting. He never thought it would end this way. Was it ending? He wasn�t completely sure.
�I never thought things would get this�complicated between us,� she said.
I say that you might regret
That you don�t know what it means
He finally speaks. �But it did.�
�It was never supposed to.�
He could only repeat himself. �But it did.�
I say that you won�t forget
What we had so easily
When words had failed him during all the other times such an occurrence had happened, they were now tumbling out of his mouth in a jumble of thoughts and feelings.
�Damnit, it did happen! We fell in love with each other, and that�s not something you can just throw away and pretend it never happened. That we never happened, because we did happen. You�re right, it was never supposed to happen. We were just going to partners, friends, and that�s it. Nothing more, right? But it happened, and we had something. Now, you just want to just throw it away for some hunch that maybe he feels something for you?�
Once you make the wrong move
We can�t be right again
He had to stop, the next words lowering his voice. �That you might feel something for him.�
Once you say that we�re through
We�re through, that the end
�I�� She had no reply to his sudden outburst.
What if it�s me the one in your life?
What if we lose forever just to realise?
What if it�s me?
Now that he had started, he didn�t want to stop. Not until she had heard what he had to say. �We�ve been together�awhile now. We had something, but we had decided that maybe it wasn�t real. But I think we were wrong.�
He paused, waiting for her to look at him again. �I think we were meant to be.�
You think you know what�s missing
Cause you don�t find it in me
Now it was her turn to be at loss for words. Although she had always suspected, hearing his thoughts out loud made her feel�something. Something she had been trying to push away for a long time.
Without much conviction, she said, �You�re wrong.�
I think your mind is guessing
When you�re supposed to believe
He knew her, much more than she realised. �No, I�m not.�
He looked closely at her. The nervous way she was biting her lower lip, then the way she lifted her head proudly, and the way her hands curled against her side. He knew her every reaction, and what each one meant. She was trying hard to not believe a word he was saying.
�And you know I�m not.�
I don�t know what you�re gonna need
If I wanna get you to stay
�What do you want me to do?� she asked, a tremble in her voice.
�Stay.� Finally, he was able to say the one word that really mattered, the one word he had always wanted to say.
�But�he�s waiting for me��
I don�t know how it�s gonna be
But I know it�s safe to say
If I was just once in your life
I could always be one more time
�I�ve been waiting for you all my life. I found you, but then I gave you up. Not again.�
Tears had started to form in her eyes, and they slowly slid down her cheeks. She quickly wiped them away. For the first time in a long time she was finally able to be honest with herself. �I don�t want to go.�
Yeah you just might wanna think twice
Cause once you�re out
You�re out and that�s the end
Five little words, and they sent his heart soaring. He wanted to kiss her, to hold her and assure her that she had made the right choice. But he didn�t move, unsure of her next words.
But she said nothing.
He took a hesitant step towards her, offering his hand to her. �Then don�t.�
She smiled at him, placing a hand in his and further decreasing the space between them. She had made her choice. The right choice. �I won�t.�
He had to be certain. �Are you sure?�
She nodded, never having been more sure in her life. �This is a new beginning for us.�
