A Story Told Through A Song
Disclaimers: In the anime world, this type of fiction is called “song fic”. The song featured below does not belong to me. It’s Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt. ^_^
She knew it was over, in her mind and in her heart, she has acknowledged the fact that there was no reason to stay when there’s nothing left behind.
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
Memories flashed through her mind, smiles given, laughter shared, tears shed, everything that mattered seemed to be slipping like sand through lax fingers.
So I took what’s mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won’t stop there,
I am here for you if you’d only care.
Can love ever really end, she wondered. Can it be forgotten like old lessons and childhood dreams? Or does it become a part of you, so intertwined as if stained through your skin?
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
At this point, when you’ve said goodbye, does the past intimacy shared even count for anything? When you remember the meeting of lips, the feel of skin and against skin, will it cause you sorrow or a bitter smile? How will you ever forget his touch, his taste, his warmth, his smell?
I’ve kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I’ve been addicted to you.
So to forget, she’ll say goodbye over and over again, until one day, after saying goodbye so many times, the pain will have faded.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
