She comes home to me after a hard night's work
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird
Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me
Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me
Like, who are you anyway
And what are you doing to me?

Leo stared up at the sky from the Golden Gate Bridge. The elders were calling him again, but he was ignoring them. He was too busy. Busy thinking. Thinking about her. He couldn't think her name anymore. It hurt too much to. When she had hit him it had been a shock. She actually tried to hurt him. He'd never expected that. Although, he wasn't sure what he had expected, he had tried to kill her for fucks sake. But he went back and told her that he loved her! Like that would make everything better. It had just made things worse. Leo didn't know when he had fallen in love with her. It just happened. A tear rolled slowly down his and he heard the jingle again.

"I'm coming, keep your robes on!" he snarled upwards and orbed out, in black orbs.

She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings,
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's flying above me every day
Every day of my life

"Leo!" one of them roared at him, "You fell in love with her!"
"Who did you hear that bullshit from?" Leo asked, not meeting their burning gaze
"From you Leo! You told her! You fell in love with her!" The elder looked at the rest of the panel, they nodded and all raised their hands. Leo knew what this meant.

"No! Don't!" he screamed, but they didn't listen to him, the bolts were already shooting out from their fingertips.

Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them
She carries the chains of a million decisions
That weren't even hers to begin with anyway
But she carries them all
All the people around her
Never even notice that she's very, very tired

Piper lay in her bad at Paige's. Her eyes were still red from the tears. Why had he come back? And told her that? She was moving on! After him! She rolled over, burying her face into her pillow. The image and sound of Leo singing was burned into her mind and would go away. Why had he sung that song? She didn't feel anything in their kisses. Yes you do.

Why had he said he loved her? It made everything so much harder. The tears fell faster. Leo. She had been falling for him. She was sure of it. She hadn't even felt this way about… That was when Piper thought of Jeremy. God knows where he was. But he would be ma, and when she saw him next…A shiver went down her spine and she snuggle deeper into her pillow.

Just then she heard a little high, jingle kin of noise and a small flash of light. When she rolled back over to see, there stood a man, about the same age as her. He was mixed race with deep blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Piper asked him, confused
"I'm Darryl Morris, your whitelighter."
"My what?"

She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's rising above me every day
Every day of my life
