Everybody wants to be understood

Well I can hear you

Everybody wants to be loved

Don’t give up

Because you are loved- You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up)

That horrible day when he’d seen her with her arms curled around her knees in a hospital bed had been one of the worst days of his life. As she had taken him through the night’s events he’d fought so that his hands didn’t show the tremble brought on by rage and powerlessness and he hated himself and the rest of the team for not seeing any signs.

She’d been so unbelievably brave, but even then he could see her cracking. The bruises and the cuts would fade, but he knew that some scars went deeper than the surface. After she was released from the hospital he could see it in her. Though she was stronger after pulling through, he could see her questioning herself.

He knew her well enough to know that she was wondering if she’d ever be whole again. He knew she was terrified that she would never be able to fully trust again, that she’d never be able to find happiness again. He knew it wasn’t the right time, but what he wanted more than anything else was to tell her not to give up, because there were so many people who loved her; because he loved her.

Note From The Author-- If you're a Josh Groban fan you'll notice these aren't in the order they're on the CD. Mostly they're in the order that I wrote them. Part two will be up soon with all of the Josh's wonderful foreign language songs from the album Awake.
