E-mail comments at: KrystynMIB@aol.com Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow III - It'll Be Okay Scully darted to her car through the heavy rainfall. Funny, she mused, it was like the mood she was in. Dark, dreary, and with the rain she could finally cry... She hastily opened the blue sedan's door and climbed in. She had had probably the worst day of her life... "Hey Scully," It was Mulder's usual cheeriness.. yet his voice told her something was wrong. "Hi Mulder..." she said cautiously. "What's new?" "Umm.. we need to talk." Her stomach had sank... those were the fateful last words to anything. And now... he was gone. He had quit the X-files.. the FBI... He'd given up his life. She was part of his life. She'd sat in stony silence while he had told her how she'd be better off without him. She just sat there as he walked out of the door for the last time. Scully snapped her mind to the present situation. She turned on the ignition and the radio blared to life. She turned it down low. She didn't say anything to Mulder.. except "I'm going to continue the work." Mulder just looked down at his feet. He was deserting her. Its time to let you go Scully's ears perked up as she heard that. She just had to let him go. Its time to say good bye She didn't say good bye.... she didn't want to. There's no more excuses There was no excuse... why was he deserting her like this... She hoped it wasn't for that brunette he'd been dating.. God, that would be a shock... No more tears to cry After he had walked out of that door.. It felt like a part of her died. She cryed until there was no more tissue. There's been so many changes He had distrusted her from the beginning.. and not like she trusted him any more.. but now they knew each other better than anyone else. All along you were the one He'd had always been there... he'd risked his life for her.. she had done the same.. All the time I never knew She had never realized how much he had meant to her until the door shut I want you to be happy That's all she ever wanted for Mulder... for him to find the truth and be happy You're my best friend And more than that.. he was on the same wavelength as her.. they always knew what each other was thinking... they were soulmates Its so hard to let you go now After all they had been through.. She was missing a piece of herself All that could have been She had never really examined it.. but what could have been?? Why was Mulder pushing her away? I'll always have the memories She had so many good memories of them together... 5 years of partnership, of learning each other She'll always have you Samantha would always have Mulder to be there.... but now Mulder wouldn't be there for her Fate has a way of changing Just when you don't want it to How true... they had come closer to each other in the last year... and this was it? She didn't want her friendship to end... Throw away the chains Let love fly away Till love comes again It'll be okay Would love ever come again??? Life passes so quickly These past 5 years had flown by so fast... We gotta take the time You'll miss what really matters Right now she was missing Mulder's friendship more than anything... the X- files, the FBI, she could just send that to hell... Mulder is what really mattered to her.. I spend my life searching The past 5 years had been a search.. for what?? For some truth that she still hadn't found For what was always there Mulder had always been there for her... but he said.. "It'll be better if we go our own ways.. not talk for a while.." He just severed their bond like that.. Sometimes it will be too late It seemed like it was too late now... Mulder was probably on the plane to California...3000 miles away.. gone Sometimes it won't be fair It wasn't fair that he could just leave her like this... How could he do this??? Throw away the chains Let love fly away Till love comes again I'll be okay How many times had she told Mulder "I'm fine." and she knew she never really meant it? How many times had she brushed off his concerns?? I'll be okay He was gone now.. no one to talk to... I'll be okay Would she really be okay?
