Summary: If I came To Your House and Blew A Kiss Your Way, I Wrote Down On Your Door Step In A Black Felt Pen, Thirteen Hundred Assets You Have Over Him
Notes: So this is part three... The band is a samll Brisbane band called Ellinton, they are a beautiful band, and the song is Between Faith And The City Lights. And while I do realise neither of these are as good at the original A Lovers Complaint, I just think the songs fit =]
It has been two months since Gabe has seen William. He decides he needs to do some cleaning. Seeing as though that was always William’s job, and now the place was filthy. So he gets up and starts to through some rubbish out.
Once the lounge room was acceptable, he went to the bed room. The was a lot of boxes under his bed, from when William moved in, and it was mostly some stuff he never got to unpacking. But he still needed to vacuum under there. Pulling the boxes out, Gabe carefully lifted them onto the bed.
Then a video titled 'My Love Gabey" fell out from one of the boxes. Walking back to the lounge room, he put it on
You and me all alone in the weather,
"it's certainly never rained this hard!"
Gabe listened and smiled as he watched the video, William dancing in the rain when they went camping during Autumn.
Creatively I drew a picture on some paper,
I drew our names and in the middle was a heart.
Gabe laughed, and actually smiled for the first time in what seemed too long, when he saw himself so proudly show William his picture.
When William got back to his flat from his job working in a dinner, he headed straight to bed. Feeling particularly lonely that night, He reached under his bed to find the bag of photos he kept there.
I have a bag full of Polaroid pictures,
here's a funny one of us in the snow.
do you remember driving ours to get there
and when we did we wanted out of the cold?
He smiled at the memory, and how much Gabe loved the snow. That was the best winter holiday he had ever been on.
If I came to your house
and I blew a kiss your way,
would you come out?
Gabe couldn't help but wonder. He can't deny how much he misses William. Bilvy. his Bilvy.
I wrote down on your door step
in a black felt pen
thirteen hundred assets
you have over them.
I love you and I want you back.
William is almost in tears. He does want Gabe back. It hurts being so far away. But it was hurting more to be face to face and seeing him in pain. Because of William.
Here's a cute one of you with your hair up,
here's another on of us by the beach.
I can't remember ever getting so sunburnt,
love is a wonderful thing
Gabe continued watching more videos he had found. Laughing at all the good times they had, like getting sunburnt on their summer holiday, all because William didn't want to go in until they had seen a dolphin.
until your standing all alone in the weather
and every intelligent remark you should make
is obviously not making things better.
So he finally walks away...
William feels so stupid. He can't even remember what lead him to... to... well... you know...
I left a number, note, my address and all my plans.
I prayed to god he would love me back
William thought about the note he had left, and what was on the back of it. So it's not like Gabe can't find him. But then again, why should it be up to Gabe?
Gabe can't for the life of him, figure out what went wrong. Maybe it was all in his head. But it cant be. Williams gone.
But he's still not here!
If I came to your house
and I blew a kiss your way,
would you come out?
I wrote down on your door step

I love you and I want you back.
William packs his clothes and anything else he holds dear. So really anything of Gabe's. He messed this relationship up, so he should be the one to fix it.
I love you and I want you back.
Gabe packs his clothes. Not many, just a back pack. he doesn't plan on grovelling.
Irrespective of ho much it means to fall in love,
it's always a great idea until the heart break comes
and Changes your mind,
like it did to mine!
Gabe thinks to himself as he gets into the taxi he had just hailed. But love is always more important then self pity. William is more important.
William got off his flight and done the usual check out thing. Taking a deep breath and releasing it before stepping out the front doors.
If I came to your house
and I blew a kiss your way,

Gabe pays the driver before climbing out of the taxi and making his way to the entrance. He can feel the butterflies already. With his head down he continues to the doors.
William looked and praised whoever that there was a taxi there. He a called the driver over who helped him with his bags. In their haste however, they didn't realise one lonely bag still on the curb.
Gabe made his way inside and to the first ticket lady he saw. While he was waiting for his transaction, he looked out side though the big glass doors and saw a cab driver loading bags into his taxi, but forgetting one little bag. A bag that looked way too familiar. Looking up as the driver climbed into his seat, Gabe saw him there. William, his long coat drawn tightly around him, and long hair in his face. His heart stopped.
He ran as fast as he could back the way he came. he could see the car driving away. Once he was out side, he took off in the direction the taxi went.
William sighed and sat back in his seat. Trying to think of what he could say to Gabe.
"WILLIAM!" Gabe tried calling out after the car, once it was again in his sights.
William looked up. He looked around and out the windows. He must be hearing things.
"WILLIAM BEHIND YOU!"
William shot his head around to look out the back window. is jaw dropped.
"Stop the car. STOP THE CAR!" William now shouted at the driver who did. Seeing as though it was a red light anyway. William climbed out of the car and hit the ground running.
Gabe shed himself of his back pack and continued to wards his love.
As soon as they meet they both broke down. Entwined in each other. Gabe softly kissing Williams ear, cheek, neck and where ever he could reach. Both muttering the words...
"I love you and I want you back."
