Chaos Rules When We're Apart

::Chaos.

When I'm not with Mulder the world is chaos.  Not 
the usual disorder of chaos, but a closed in sort 
of chaos.

The passion that he brings out in me is trapped 
inside, turning me into a cold person whose soul 
is trapped behind walls only he can scale.

He knows how to bring my soul out.  He knows how to 
make me feel, make me feel happiness, make me feel 
wonderment, make me feel young, make me feel bright 
and new again.

He makes me feel loved.

I want to be loved.  I want to be with him.

I want to go home.::

::I try to get to him, but it is not easy.  There are 
things blocking the path.

People telling me that he's not worth it, that I'm much 
better than him.  That he doesn't deserve me.  That he 
doesn't need me at all.

But it's not true, I know that.  I know he needs me 
like I need him.  Like we both need air to stay alive.  
He deserves me, he deserves love, plain and simple.

Then there are the more immediate blocks.  The people 
whispering behind my back about how I am a cold fish, 
how I have no emotions.  I know that is not true.  I 
know I can feel and I can love, and it's thanks to him.

Soon I will be with him, the one who makes me feel.

Soon I will be home.::

::I reach my apartment, but he's not here yet.  I'm 
not worried though, I know he will be here soon.  I 
know that he needs me too, now more than ever after 
spending this day apart.

I sit down on the couch and wait, my body almost giddy 
in the knowledge that soon he will be here, soon we 
will be together again.

I can't wait.

Soon I hear the door lock clicking and I turn around 
to see him there, and he's smiling.

I feel myself smiling back, smiling back in that open 
smile destined only for him.  The smile that knows I'm 
expressing my true feelings, that I'm happy, that I can 
feel alive again, that I feel loved.

My legs move from under me, and I'm walking over to 
him.  His arms begin to open in that invitation that 
makes me let down my barriers even more.  I feel my 
body mold to his and I know that this is right.

I press my lips to his and as my eyes close, I feel 
my passion emerging once  more.  I'm with him.::

::As we kiss that kiss that kiss that makes me feel 
alive, I can only think of one thing.::

::I'm home.::
