I can feel her breath as she's sleeping next to me

Sharing pillows and cold feet

She can feel my heart

Fall asleep to it's beat

Under blankets and warm sheets

If only I could be in that bed again

If only it were me instead of him

Niall could remember the day clearly. The day Grace told him goodbye. The fight had been petty, but it was the final straw. Grace hated the way it ended between the two, but she had moved on. She was happy again.

Does he watch your favorite movies

Does he hold you when you cry

Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts

When you've seen it a million times

Does he sing all your music

While you dance to purple rain

Does he do all these things like I used to

"Grace! Come back!" Niall shouted out of the open door. "No! Why should I?" Grace snapped. "Because I love you!" Niall sobbed. "Then why are you doing this?" she shrieked. "I..I don't know.." the small lad whimpered. " I hate you! I hate you so much!" And she took of running.

14 months and 7 days ago

Oh, I know you know how we felt that night

Just your skin against the window

Oh, you took it slow

And we both know

It should have been me inside that car

It should have been me instead of him

In the dark

Grace wanted Niall back, but she was happy with her new guy. Niall though tried everything to forget her, it just didn't work. The two of them had been in love, and now it was like she had forgotten everything they did.

Does he watch your favorite movies

Does he hold you when you cry

Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts

When you've seen it a million times

Does he sing all your music

While you dance to purple rain

Does he do all these things like I used to

Niall strode over to the familiar house. He knew this wasn't going to get her back, but he had to try. He opened her mail box, and slide the hand written letter in. He sighed as he closed the metal door, and turned to walk away. At least he had tried.

I know love

Happens all the Time, love

You're on my mind, love

And that happens all the time, love

Grace walked over in time to see Niall's blond hair walking away. A look of confusion passed over her soft face. Twirling a piece of her dirty blond hair, she opened the door. The bracelets that decorated her wrist jingled. She ran inside a soon as she saw the letter. She fixed the glasses that covered her hazel eyes, and began to read.

Will he love you like I loved you

Will he tell you everyday

Will he make you feel like you're invincible with every word he'll say

Can you promise if this one's right

Don't throw it all away

Can you do all these things

Will you do all these things like we used to

Oh, like we used to

Dear Gracie,

I know this won't fix anything, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I know your with someone new, and you love him. I just had to apologize for the way things ended. It's not my fault, and it's not yours. We were over and we just needed a way to say it.

I'm still trying to move on, but I know you don't want me back. I just wish we could still be friends. Now when you see me, you just ignore me. I want my best friend back. Know that I'm still here for you, even if you hate me. I'm always going to be your best friend. I know you don't really want to talk to me, so I guess I'll go. Just know I'm deeply sorry.

With love, Ni
