Author’s Notes:I wrote this for my medie. A few times in life, people are blessed with good friends. I count her as one of my chief blessings. For all the years she’s dealt with me, for all the loyalty she’s given me, for all the battles she’s fought for me… a little songfic doesn’t seem like much in return.
Summary: This is a songfic using the Sara Evans song, No Place That Far.
No Place That Far
by Christina A.
I can’t imagine, any greater fear
Then wakin’ up, without you near
And though the sun, would still shine on
My whole world, would all be gone
But not for long
I stand and watch her as she moves across the room. Sometimes I can’t believe that she and I have found our way to one another. In a world full of darkness, Cordelia Chase has become my light. So many mornings I have woken up alone, so many nights I have fallen asleep by myself. Empty bed, empty room, empty heart. And now, I can’t imagine a world without her in it. I would lose everything if I lost her.
If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you are
There’s no place that far
She sees me watching her, and says nothing. Just smiles at me. Being obsessive by nature I can’t help the way my emotions clench. I’d say my heart did, but it doesn’t beat. But it’s true… the words in that chorus. The only thing that would stop me from seeking her out, from being with her, would be for the world to stop spinning. And we all know that isn’t going to happen.
It wouldn’t matter, why we’re apart
The lonely miles or two stubborn hearts
And nothing short, of God above
Could turn me away, from your love
I need you that much
She just waggled her brows at me. She knows what this song does to me… how much I equate the words with how I feel for her. We disagree… it’s bound to happen in any healthy relationship. And I frustrate her, my tendencies to be tight-lipped about things… I don’t share well and I’m often not forthcoming. But she understands. She accepts me, as I do her. It’s a solid foundation that our relationship is built upon. I need her like I’ve never needed anyone.
If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you are
There’s no place that far
Again, it comes back to this. It really doesn’t surprise me that it does. After all, it’s what I’m best known for, so it suits me. I watch her intently. I store every move of hers in my memory. Years from now, I will remember THIS moment…. THIS time, and I will love her forever.
Oh if I had to run
(if I had to run)
If I had to crawl
(If I had to crawl)
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you are
There’s no place that far
Baby there’s no place that far
I’m going to cross the room to her as the last of the chords fade away and take her into my arms. I’m going to hold her, listen to her heartbeat, and feel her breath against me. I’m going to kiss her and tell her just how much I love her. And no matter what the future has in store for us… I am going to be there for her. Because there is no place that far… that can keep me away from her.
