Seven Years
**********
By: Lydia, 1999
Point of View: Mulder, post 6th season
Even now, in darkness unwelcoming
I feel your warmth, and the knowledge that
Truth holds no place for lovers or friends.
To find our way now, is to know the way home
I need what you bring to this unusual coupling
The skeptic in you keeps my belief aware.
The end of a quest is illusion, foreboding
And the missions end has become a goal less desired
...leading to a goodbye I never could bear.
Reaching the end, as light of day stretches
Seven years culmination and I fear the result
Denial takes root, as we each search our hearts
Knowing the untimeliness of an acknowledgment now
Even now, in darkness undending
I long to feel your warmth, and the knowledge that
Truth might have a place for friends as lovers
Belief in the end, that it might justify waiting
...leading to a farewell that we might have to bear
