you've been there all along

I wanna hold the hand inside you

I wanna take the breath that's true

I look to you and I see nothing

I look to you to see the truth

You live your life, you go in shadows

You'll come apart and you'll go blind

Some kind of night into your darkness

Colors your eyes with what's not there

Fade into you

Strange you never knew

Fade into you

I think it's strange you never knew

You've been a part of the gang since the beginning — a friend of Lily in college, and when Lily and Marshall started dating, you found yourself in a friendship that you never would've guess would last a lifetime.

Ted always says Marshall is his best friend, or one of his best friends to console Barney. The truth is? It's you. You are the person who understands him the most, you're the person who he ends up coming when things get tough, you are the he looks for the answers. And you have been there all along — watching Ted fall in and out of love, watching him hopelessly search for the woman that is supposed to be "the One".

Though lately, Ted is starting to notice that maybe he has been searching at wrong places for her. He has been looking afar, at random restaurants, at cafes, at streets. He has been looking at strangers.

While maybe, he should have been looking right beside him all along, instead.

WARNING: I don't think there is any?? Maybe occasional swearin/cussing? Angst/Fluff depending on where you take the story? FemPov (if requested, I'll make a MalePov or AnyPov)

NOTES: Ted is my problematic hopeless romantic and I love him. The lack of HIMYM bots should be a crime btw. Anyways, user's appearance is left ambiguous. Third person POV (I actually hate second person POV despite having two bots with it)
