Hi,

Usually, when something with my name shows up here, it's long, devious and procedural (hey, it's what I do).

This started running around in my head last night, so I decided to let it out (the only way I'll get any peace). I think of it as the key elements of Mick and Beth's relationship up through 12:04.

I don't own any of the characters (CBS and Joel Silver do) and any quotes from the series are made with the utmost respect for the authors.

I think it's a drabble, but since I'm not entirely sure what a drabble is....anyway, I hope you like it.

Rating is PG

If

If you didn’t trust me…

Would you have taken my hand

Scratched and bloodied

Let me take you away

If you didn’t trust me…

Would you have come to my aid

Shot and dying

Kill to save me

If you didn’t trust me…

Would you have sought me

Through your tears

Would you have bled for me

Despite your fears

If you didn’t want me…

Would you have touched my world

Kissed me shyly

Then run back to yours

If you didn’t want me…

Would you have taken the chance

Offered yourself

Knowing the price

If you didn’t love me…

Would you have forgiven my sins

Kissed guilt away

Your angel again

If you didn’t love me…

Could you see past the monster

Lost and alone

And see the man

Who’s loved you so long

Oh DS, this was truly beautiful!
Now, haven't you got some procedural stuff to write for the greedy and insatiable hordes, including me?

coco,

Thanks and I'm glad you found it....I don't profess to be a poet (you know what I write), but this was just something that popped into my head one day. I was trying to pick out the key images or phrases from each of the first half of the series, where the relationship between Mick and Beth develops from a not-so-chance meeting to the discovery of the Guardian Angel's identity.

Lovely!!

janicevictoria and mitzie,

thank you both so much! This piece developed as I was thinking about how Beth's trust had been gained so long ago, then then Mick's established after Lee-Jay was shot. I started thinking about how their relationship developed over the course of the show, picking out the key change in each episode through 12:04. Trust led to want, then to love.

Moonlighter,

Thank you and you're very welcome....sometimes the muse waxes poetic....I just try to keep up!!

Lovely, Karen.
