"Mulder, get down!" Bullets ricochet against the wall
as I dive, I should have listened to Scully and laid
low, crawling, but I wanted to run.

Something's come between us since her sister died;
one more thing that we don't talk about as we hurt,
and it's like a torn sleeve pulling wider, sewed up
with clumsy bright red yarn. We're losing each other-

And I hit the ground.

Blue eyes deep inside my brown, she helps me up and
I'm forgiven. Ours is a stormy kind of love but her
hand's in mine, and it's still the sweetest thing.
