You’re the keeper I wanna keep
A keeper worth loving
A keeper always beautiful to me
I should’ve told you we’re worth keeping
We’re something worth keeping
Love so worth keeping
Wish you would keep me…
If I could give you anything
I’d want to live in your eyes
I want them on me…in me
I want them where you can see me
I should’ve told you you’re the one
Because my body remembers yours
Even with my heart a hurting
I still wanna keep you
Because my body remembers yours
I still want you to be waiting for me
I should’ve told you you’re the one
I should’ve told you you’re my keeper…
I should’ve told you you’re my keeper…
I should’ve told you you’re my…
Keep-er

Five hours later.
“You werea natural at hockey from day one, Calum. But you didn’t start out a superstar goalie. That took years of hard work, of finding your weaknesses and working hard to overcome them. If you can do that, there is absolutely no reason why you can’t apply the same logic, the same perseverance to your emotional intelligence as well. And Billie sounds like just the person who will love you as you try. As you practice. As you learn to offer her your heart as well.” My mom’s soothing words settle over me as I mull them over.
“Thanks Mom, for the wise words. Appreciate you talking to me.”
“I know you do, son. I love you.”
“Love you too.”
I hang up and flop back onto my bed, mentally exhausted but with my mind still stirring.
After spending hours going over the song and far too keyed up for sleep, I’d called my mom just to hear her steadying voice of reason.
