Sometime after the island, Kates locked away in prision and has been for years, but Sawyer still cant forget about her. 'I Cant Unlove You' By Kenny Rodgers.
Postcards and letters
And pictures made to last forever
To be boxed up and tossed away
Knickknacks and souvenirs
In an afternoon, they're out of here
They'll disappear without a trace
But what they mean to me
Can never be replaced
Sawyer wasn’t and emotional man, he didn’t get attached to anything or involved with anyone. That was until the island. Until her.
Lifting the backseat of his truck finding the secret hiding place that lay beneath he found what he was looking for, he lifted out the battered old suitcase, worn with time and memories, and opened the clasp. He dusted away the thin layer of sand away from the top of the objects inside, funny how it comforted him now – it had been only a month ago he had been delighted at the thought of never having to see it again.
He knew, with a light smile, that if anyone knew Sawyer had kept such a thing they wouldn’t believe it, they would say that it wasn’t him at all… he supposed that they would be right, it wasn’t him anymore, he had changed, he had been changed by her.
I can't unthink about you
I can't unfeel your touch
I can't unhear all the words
Unsay all the things
That used to mean so much
I wish I could unremember
Everything my heart's been through
And finding out it's impossible to do
Oh, it's no use
I can't unlove you
He started to take all the things from the case, the suitcase that had once been his ‘stash’. Everything in it reminded him of her, some of the things she had never seen, touched or spoke of… yet they still reminded him of her. He picked up a small bottle of vodka with a small smile, there was nothing in the bottle, but that didn’t matter it wasn’t the vodka he wanted, just the bottle. The bottle had been hers, the night they had played I never, the night he had first admitted to the murder he had committed, the night he had lied to her.
He had said he’d never been in love, but the truth was that right then, he was in love – with her.
Intestates and old songs
Like time they go on and on
I guess I could learn to do the same
I could wake up without you
These two arms not around you
Tell myself it's meant to be this way
No matter how I try somethings I can't change
Then he picked out a tape, ‘The Best Of Phil Collins’ that had been hers of course, he’d given it to her, but in return she had given it him, just before… before they took her away. He blinked back the tears furiously, Sawyer wasn’t a man who cried – but when it came to her he wasn’t Sawyer, he was James.
His heart had broken the day rescue came, people around him cheering and celebrating, he was happy himself until he saw her broken face. The walls he had slowly broken down were put back up in a second, her face became guarded, he could almost sense her brain working, thinking of a way she could run.
I can't unthink about you
I can't unfeel your touch
I can't unhear all the words
Unsay all the things
That used to mean so much
I wish I could unremember
Everything my heart's been through
And finding out it's impossible to do
Oh, no
Oh, it's no use
I can't unlove you
She had been sent down for fifteen years. Fifteen. It had been five years since he last saw her. He had gone to visit her, but she looked so defeated, so worn… that wasn’t Freckles, that was some alien. She had told him, in tears, to move on and find someone else because she would never be out of prison, he had refused, saying that he never could – and he couldn’t.
There wasn’t a second he didn’t think about her, feel the ghost of her touch on his skin… on his lips. The more he thought about it the more it hurt, but he couldn’t forget.
The more he tried to forget the more he remembered.
The more he tried to move on, he stayed behind.
The more he tried to unlove her, he loved her even more.
I wish I could unremember
Everything my heart's been through
And finding out it's impossible to do
Oh, oh, it's no use
I can't unlove you
Ok, so I do have one or two ideas of my own right now, but any ideas anyone else has are welcome!
Please review!!
