Camila looked at the text and smiled.  He forgave her.  It was enough for now.  She lay in bed and felt a calmness come over her.  It might take a little while, but she had a good feeling about things now.  There were no misunderstandings between them anymore, he knew she wanted him, she knew he wanted her, no bogus boyfriends either.  What would happen, would happen.

She was busy the following week with the release of her collaboration with Mark Ronson, which she had recorded in February.  She was nervous about Shawn hearing it.  Because it wasn't her music she hadn't sent it to him in advance like she usually did, so he would have heard it the same as everyone else.  She had been feeling pretty emo when she wrote it, it pretty much answered all the songs he wrote for her on his last album, and she wasn't sure what he would think.  Mark had written the music and had asked her to write the lyrics.  She had told Shawn about it during the dance rehearsal so he knew it was coming.  She just didn't know what he'd say.

I'll try to pass the night away with somebody new
But they don't have a shot when I compare them to you
It's too late, too late
Baby, I know I'll never find you again
Find you again

Baby, baby, I
Walk in the late night
Looking for your eyes
Put up a fight to find you
Lose it every time
You were the last of your kind
All of the blame's mine

And I remember you told me
That we could work it all out, don't you worry
And now the tears in your eyes make it blurry
But if you say, "Try again", I'd be ready
I'm ready, yeah

I'll try to pass the night away with somebody new
But they don't have a shot when I compare them to you
It's too late, too late
Baby, I know I'll never find you again
Find you again

Have mercy on me, please
I messed up to the third degree
This crush is kind of crushing me
I do therapy at least twice a week
There's a you-shaped space in my bed
Always you-shaped thoughts inside my head, like

I keep pushing them right into you
La Cienega, where I remember you

And I remember you told me (told me)
That we could work it all out, don't you worry (yeah, yeah)
And now the tears in your eyes make it blurry (oh)
But if you say try again, I'd be ready
I'm ready

I'll try to pass the night away with somebody new
But they don't have a shot when I compare them to you
It's too late, too late
Baby, I know I'll never find you again

Find you again, Find you again, Find you again, Find you again
Find you again (it's too late), Find you again (it's too late)
Find you again (it's too late), Find you again (it's too late)

I'll try to pass the night away
(Find you again) with somebody new
(Find you again) But they don't have a shot
(Find you again) when I compare them to you
(Find you again) it's too late
Too late
Baby, I know I'll never find you again
Find you again

She was sure she would hear from him, they had been texting every day. They were keeping in touch and each day the messages were a little longer and a little more personal.  She was at home and he was in Toronto when she got the message.

I heard the song with Ronson

          OK what did you think

Very cool, you sound amazing.

          It's a good dance tune

Come on Shawn, mention the lyrics.

Interesting lyrics, where did you get the inspiration?
