I Came Back

--  Influence #17:  I was never a Joey-Pacey fan.  So here's how I would have had Dawson's Creek end.  I suppose this is also my tribute to Kevin Williamson, who in a very real way, made me think I was smart when I was a teenager (I wasn't--see old LJ entries if you don't believe me.)  --

"I Came Back"

I was sitting with him

I was sitting there

And he made sense

He was sitting right there

Making all the sense in the world

But I left

I left him

And I came here

I hopped on a plane

Like an idiot

Leaving behind common sense

And I came back to you

I came back

Because you infuriate me

You make me yell

When nobody else

Makes me yell

You permeate my life

I think of you when I look at eggplant

You're so ingrained in me

That vegetables make me think of you

Every symbol and object

Has a story that relates to you

I came back

Because you read my mind

Because he can do a million sweet things

He can do whatever I ask

But with you

I don't even need to ask

I came back

Because I want

I want more than anything

For you to want me

I stood up in front of people

And sang a stupid song

An overdone song

From Les Miserables

Just to see if you would look at me

And think--

Wow...

I'd have climbed a mountain

I'd have climbed eight mountains

To get a 'Wow' out of you

I came back

Because when I'm with you

I'm me

I'm really me

I'm not the person I should be

I'm just who I am

And I can settle into that

And relax

And not try to be better

I can be the lousy

Self-centered

Melodramatic person that I am

I find myself laughing with him

About the stupidest things

And I don't want to laugh

About stupid things

I don't want to laugh at all

Not unless you're the one

Making me laugh

I want to watch movies until four am

I want to see that pendant lying against your bare chest

When I wake up in the morning

I want to move your hair away from your face

I want to climb through your window

And see you lying in bed waiting for me

I want to raise children with you

In a house by a lake

Where people use big words

And have big hearts

And don't get freaked out

When people climb through their windows

I want to come back to you

Every day

For the rest of my life

Wherever I am

Whatever I'm doing

I want to come back to you

He was amazing

He was perfect

He made sense

But I came back

And I don't plan on leaving again
