~We Build~
// It's bigger than we thought / It's taller then it ought to be / This pile of rubble and ruins //
Staring at the pile before her eyes, Jaina sighed. When Jag had said there was alot of junk, she didn't know he meant all this. Through the scrap metal and wood, she could barely see the estate she and Jag would refurbish.
// The neighbors must talk / It's the worst yard on the block / Just branches and boards where walls stood //
Jag guided Jaina through the forest-like mess to the estate. it looked like a shack. The roof was falling down and all the windows were shattered. She turned around for a moment and saw a few by standers looking and wispering.
// Did it seem to you / Like the storm just knew / We weren't quite finished with the roof / When it started? //
A drop of rain distracted Jaina from her work. Looking down from her workspot on the roof, she noticed the by standers leaving as it began to rain. She climbed down the ladder and stood before a little girl with an umbrella. She handed Jaina a rain poncho before taking off.
"Thank you!" Jaina called into the rain where the girl vanished.
// So we build / We build / We clear away what was to make room for what will be / If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer / I'll hold it still if you climb the ladder / If you will, thenI will build //
Jag ripped off the old boards to replace them with new ones. He held the nails steady as Jaina hammered. She held the ladder for him as he climbed up to the roof. After she came up, they retiled it together.
// On any given day / We could simply walk away / And let someone else hold the pieces //
She had done so many things in her life but this was by far the hardest. Jaina felt so much like giving up. But she knew she couldn't.
// The lie we tell / Say's it's better somewhere else / As if love flies south when it freezes //
Apparently when Jaina didn't feel like going on, it was best to leave her be. He had put his hand on her shoulder and she'd shaken him off before walking back up to the house. He hung his head.
// What I'm trying to say / In some clumsy way / Is that it's you and only you //
She clumsily tripped over a brick and in an instant Jag was there. He caught her before she hit the ground.
// So we build / We build / We clear away what was to make room for what will be / If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer / I'll hold it still if you climb the ladder / If you will, thenI will build //
Jaina stood in front of the estate. All of the rubble had been moved. It had taken weeks, but the house was beautiful. Newly planted roses bordered the fencing and the "For Sale" sign. The smile on her face spread as she got into the speeder with Jag. Sparing the place one final memory glance, they took off to their home and their daughter.
// What I'm trying to say / In some clumsy way / Is that it's you and only you, not just for now, not just today / But that it's you and only you for always //
*Finish*
