I Never Told You That I Can't Take Another Disappointment
"You put the music in my heart."
I knew his voice was shaking because he knew he had taken advantage of me seeing the good in everyone. But it was something he had realized and that took some growth. He begged,” There’s got to be something I could do to make you feel better. Do you want me to sing for you?”
I nodded, trying to calm myself down. He hesitated before he stood up and got the acoustic guitar from the corner. I scooted more towards the bus wall and Ben sat on the table with his feet sitting next to me. I looked up at him with my teary eyes as he began to strum the chords to Someone, Somewhere.
“Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home.
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
It was you that told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
And how you sang with the band in Memphis
It's hard just to be strong not knowing if I've done you proud
I like to imagine you smile when you hear my songs
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
A letter home and I know we don't speak much
And we both know I'm not keen to but I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm okay don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own.”
I noticed him searching my eyes. I sniffed and moved to sit beside him on table. He placed his hand palm side up on his knee and I looked at his hand. I placed my hand in his.
He whispered,” I love you Alexandria. I really fucking do. I don’t like seeing you like this.”
My voice cracked as I replied lowly,” I love you too Ben…”
His right hand shook as he placed it under my chin and rested his lips against mine.
