'Faith of the Heart' by Russell Watson is not mine
//It's been a long road, getting from there to here. It's been a long time, but my time is finally near//
Damn him! For eight years I have held myself back from reaching out for him. Eight long years!
//And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing's in my way//
I only started seeing Pete because I thought it would help me get over him, finally move on from the out of reach...That didn't work!
//And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna hold me down//
I'm with the wrong man, not that I'll ever be able to get with the right man...oh screw the Regs! He's here tonight, in his well fitting tux, taking my breath away, maybe...
//Cause I've got faith of the heart. I'm going where my heart will take me. I've got faith to believe. I can do anything. I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I've got faith; I've got faith, faith of the heart//
I decided before coming out tonight that I wouldn't do anything stupid, even if that means getting slowly drunk with Daniel sitting in a corner somewhere. But seeing him now, I know I will, I'd tell him, tell him I don't want anyone else but him, that there has never been anyone else. Which is why I'm pretending to listen to Dr. Something-or-other explaining a theory or something while I scan the room...
//It's been a long night. Trying to find my way//
He sees me.
It's now or never. I wave and smile at him. He...he turned to leave. Damn him!
//Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day//
I wait for a chance to cut the scientist guy off and excuse myself. I can't believe he just ignored me like that! How dare he just walk out when he hasn't even talked to me yet? Walking after him I see his car drive off.
//And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky. And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind//
I start the long walk to his house. So he's jealous of Pete, why shouldn't he be? Pete's lovely and all but he's...he's just not Jack! I have it bad; so bad I can't stand it anymore. I have to tell him tonight, tell him everything.
//Cause I've got faith of the heart. I'm going where my heart will take me. I've got faith to believe. I can do anything. I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart//
Screw Pete, screw the Air Force, I just want to screw Jack O'Neill! Okay, there's his house, the hall light is on and his truck is parked in the driveway. I'm so nervous, cold, wind swept and nervous.
//I've known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days. But now the winds I feel are only winds of change. I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain//
I knock on his door praying that he answers it-scared that he will.
//But I'll be fine//
A shadow moves in the doorway. He unlocks the door and opens it.
"Carter, what are you doing here?"
I'm frozen to the spot; I can't talk. Dammit!
"Did you walk?" He asks looking for my car. "You didn't even wear a coat? God, Sam you must be freezing." I nod my head slowly as he pulls me in to his warm, cosy house. I lean into him to share his body heat; he's so warm.
"Why did you come Sam?" He asked wrapping his arms around me freezing shoulders.
"Well, maybe it's the alcohol talking but I have to tell you that I am in..." OMG!!! He's kissing me! Oh wow! His lips are so soft and his tongue is...wow!
He pulled away to breathe. "That is exactly what I came for!"
//Cause I've got faith of the heart. I'm going where my heart will take me. I've got faith to believe. I can do anything. I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I've got faith//
I've got Jack!
//It's been a long road//
