Valentine

Mimi Lockhart DiMera looked at the letter from yet another angle. She had looked at it from several but had yet to find anything. True that one mite find such behavior odd, but if you had lived through the drama of the town of Salem.

i'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
i don't know what you're expecting of me


One could dismiss her behavior as intelligent and vigilant. Mimi looked over at her husband, he seemed to be reading. To the untrained eye, but to Mimi's trained eyes he was both mentally undressing her and keeping an eye on the letter. Mimi sighed it was time to bite down and open the letter.

put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that i take is another mistake to you


If only to find out what he wanted so they could counter his plans what ever they were. Strangely she didn't have a bad feeling about the letter. That was weird anything connected to him should give her a bad feeling. But by the same token Rex and Cassie were a part of him. Which meant where had to be something inside the man that was worth while.

It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind

Mimi knew that despite everything Rex and Cassie needed to have him back in there lives. But they were rightfully scarred to allow him back in. Only to get burned yet again, by his insane revenge needs. Putting a hand to her swollen belly, Mimi felt her baby kick.

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everybody can see these scars


Now the question was would the baby get to know her's or hiss’s grandfather. The whole idea was scarry, but in the over all picture of things. Mimi knew that no matter what Tony DiMera was a part of their lives.

It's easy to fall, and easy to crawl
When you taste a little and you want it all
You close your eyes and hold on tight
When the wrong one loves you right


Mimi offend found herself wondering about the man. Just what had driven a once wonderful man so wrong. How could he be both the wonderful man who had been a friend to so many. Only to have fallen so far down into the abyss. Mimi pondered this question many times over. Only one thing was clear, the damage his father had done to him was deep and had left scars that time would not erase.

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear


Maybe just maybe if he was shown that he could have a second chance despite all the crap that had happened. Tony DiMera could realize that no matter what he did have family that loved him.

I've found out a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you


Warts and all, that he would not have to protect himself against every single little thing. That he could open up the doors that he had hide his heart behind. Tony could go back to being the man he wanted to be. Not the man his father had turned him into.

but i know
i may end up failing too
but i know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you
