part 4
One Day You Will - Lady Antebellum
“FBI guy?” I want to know but I don’t want to know. Our relationship has always been one best hidden in corners and brought out on dark nights. I want to be with her. I want to have her always in my arms, but I know that can’t always be the case.
“His name is Craig. He’s sweet.” And I can see what she’s not saying, behind her eyes. This is a relationship she can take home to mom and dad. This is a man that she can show to the world. She can hold him up, say THIS IS HIM, and be proud.
“He’s not good enough.”
“Rigsby is jealous.” As if that matters.
“What about me?” I ask. We shouldn’t be doing this, but we are.
“I’m here with you right now.” She placed a sort kiss on my lips, but I couldn’t kiss her back.
“Why?”
“I love you. I just…you know. I can’t take you home. We can’t go out. Don’t get me wrong, I like sex as much as the next girl, but sometimes I want more.”
“And I can’t give you that.”
“He’s just a fling. He doesn’t mean anything.” She is on my lap, and I want to believe her, but we’ve been together too long. I know her. This man, this FBI guy, is going to steal her from me. This man is going to take from me what little bit of life I’ve managed to rebuild. And I am powerless to stop it.
I am a coward. I hide in the darkness. I crave the ease of a no strings attached relationship. And this is what I’ve got. Sex and hugs and love but no time out. And I’m going to loose her.
