Song: “You Are the Best Part of Me” by Neil Diamond
My baby's Cryin' on a Saturday night
She thinks that nothin's ever gonna go right
But she'll make it
And we'll make it
There's no way that
I'm leavin' the best part of me
It’s been hard this year. Nothing went right and we’ve been through so much pain. Now everything is out in the open. Antonio knows the truth, and he’s not taking it well. I understand his pain better than anyone. I know what it’s like to lose Sheridan. She is so upset that she hurt Antonio, but it’s for the best. There are no more lies. We are free to be together.
There was a time I wanted out on my own
I even thought that I'd be ok alone
But oh, baby
I know, baby
That I'd be walkin'
Away from the best part of me
There were a few times this year, when I couldn’t take it anymore. I was tired of the lies and tired of not being able to be with Sheridan. I was ready to walk away. I wasn’t going to fight with her anymore, if she wanted to stay married to my brother then what could I do about it. After one night away from her, I realized just how wrong I was. I can’t live without her. There was no way that I could live my life without her.
You are the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, your the part
That allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always
known
You are the best
Part of me
I don’t think I ever really realized what love was, until I met her. Nobody had ever gotten under my skin the way she did. Even when we were fighting, something about her just got to me. I would have never admitted it, but I couldn’t wait to see her, even if it was just to argue some more. It took me a while to realize just how hard I had fallen for her. I know now that she is my soul mate, and that I can’t live without her.
Love isn't easy and
It's not always kind
Sometimes you only
Have to make
Up your mind
That you can make it
and you can make it
I know I made it
By keeping the best part of me
It’s been a rough road for us to get where we are today. Between her families threats, the imposter, losing her twice, her marrying my brother and our own stubborn pride it seemed impossible for us to make it. We are here though. Together and happy. All we need to get by is the other.
My baby's cryin' 'cause she cant run away
And if she could it wouldn't last for a day
And she knows it
And I know it
It just shows that
She is the best part of me
Sheridan wants to leave. She thinks she has caused everyone too much pain. I know and she knows that she could never leave. It would hurt too much. Being separated from one another is like a physical pain and we’ve had too much pain already. We have everything to stay together for now though.
It's true baby, your the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, you're the part that allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always known
You're the best part of me
Yes, you are the best part of me
She’s stopped crying now. As I wrap her in my warm embrace, I know that this is right. Nothing has ever felt more perfect. A cry startles us both and we break apart. Our sweet little boy is crying to be fed. He’s so tiny, but he is absolutely perfect. Our little boy. It’s so hard to believe sometimes, that we have a child. As she puts him to her breast to feed him, she gives me a secret smile. I go to the bed and sit with them, watching in awe as our son eats. Gathering them in my arms, I know that she is a part of me. She’s the best part of me.
The End
