Requests are open. PM me the character and plot. I don't own the song. All credit goes to those involved.

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If its just you and me
Trying to find the light

You and Ethan had met while on a case. The pair of you had hit it off instantly. You had flirted all night. You had ended up in bed together. In the morning, he had gone to D.C. for work and you had been transferred to Indonesia. You had fallen for Ethan and he had fallen for you. However, the pair of you seemed to always miss each other. You were never in the same place at the same time. When you had been in the same place, you had tried and failed to end up together. Love had bloomed between the pair of you. So, when you had managed to be in the same place you tried to not waste any of the time you had.

Like ships in the night letting cannonballs fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fists fly from my mouth as it turns south
You're down the driveway
I'm on the couch
Chasing your dreams since the violent fifth grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
'Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away
Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drain
Your pops stayed the same and your moms moved away
How many of our parents seem to make it anyway
We're just fumbling through the gray
Trying to find a heart that's not walking away

You and Ethan managed to keep your love alive. You met up in places that were often near your places of work or wherever you happened to have your missions. You wanted to be more than ships in the night. Loving Ethan like this meant that you may never end up together the idea you were roughly ok with.

Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far
From so close

You walked down the halls of the IMF. Past Ethan who smiled at you and slipped you a note. Where and when to meet him.

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If its just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night

You danced all night with him. Knowing that your love was real and while it may not last it was perfect from the start to the end.
