I highly recommend to listen to: Starlight by Muse

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Steve Rogers didn't have much. He had memories that were fading in the rapid stream of contemporary life, people whom he would never see again, the morality that had nothing to do with the modern world and a broken heart, which was desperate to find love and comfort. The Avengers initiative didn't give him a lot of satisfaction, though he liked to be helpful and save lives of innocent people. But who would save his own?

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Being a ghost from the past, Captain was searching for something that he still couldn't find in his new life — true friendship and someone whom he could trust. The modern world seemed so insincere, dishonest and questionable to him and Steve needed someone so badly, someone who would be his guiding light even in the darkness of misunderstanding and nostalgia.

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

There were too many new faces around him, and it was complicated and unnecessary to remember all of them. However, there was a face he couldn't forget. In fact, it was one of the reasons for him to keep returning to the Avengers Tower.
Steve met you in one of the countless hallways that were forming something like a large labyrinth on each floor of the building. He was looking around, trying to figure out where he was, so Captain ran into you with no intention.
"I'm so sorry, ma'am," he quickly apologized, looking at you and forgetting how to breathe for a few seconds.
"No problem, sir," you smiled, making his heart beat even faster. "Are you lost?"
"Not anymore," he thought to himself, while saying: "Yes, I'm afraid. Would you be so kind to help me with directions, ma'am?"

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Captain knew it was his chance to feel the life anew, and he didn't want to miss it. So he was sure to ask your name and talk with you all the time you were leading him to the assembly room. He didn't want to stop at this point and, planting a soft kiss on your hand, he wished to see you again as soon as possible.
It happened. You couldn't deny your own affection to the soldier — it seemed so natural to like this brave, attentive and adorable man. He immediately fell in love with the way you spoke, moved, smiled and, most of all, laughed. Steve appreciated so much that you treated him like an ordinary man, not a museum artifact. Suddenly his life wasn't meaningless, his actions were not reflexive, days were not identical anymore. He wanted to deserve you, be good enough for you, though it seemed nearly impossible to him. But he would never stop trying since you became the purpose of his being.

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

After a few months of friendship and frequent meetings, he finally had enough courage and confidence to ask you out on a real date. Of course, you were more than happy to accept his invitation. Greeted by a bunch of wonderful flowers and admiring compliments, you were feeling yourself like a princess next to him. It all seemed like a beautiful fairy-tale, and the prince was more than perfect.
The wonderful evening ended with him walking you home, a long talk and a lot of laughs. You never actually wanted it to end, so it was a pity to say goodbye. Turning to face him, you saw a shy smile, full of love and hope.
"May I?" he quietly asked, looking into your beautiful eyes. You nodded with a smile.
Steve leaned in slowly, never taking his eyes off you, and your lips interlocked. He was so careful and sweet that it made your heart melt and your body tremble a bit.
When you broke the kiss, Captain carefully pulled you closer to his chest, wrapping his strong arms securely around your waist and burying his face in your hair. You were smiling happily, realizing how deeply in love you were and feeling how fast his heart was beating. Even though the words hadn't been said yet, it was clear for both of you — it was the beginning of something beautiful and life-changing.

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold
