Someone Like You
By the Almighty SporkGoddess
Had she fallen asleep at last? If she had, it hadn't lasted for long. She saw the window that wasn't too far from her bed, noting that the sky was still musty, as it always appeared aftermidnight. Normally all that Allenby would have seen was the dank, dark color; the lack of light.
I peer through windows, watch life go by
Dream of tomorrow, and wonder why
The past is holding me, keeping life at bay
She'd always hated the night sky, hated having to lay there in the stillness and the blackness and reflect upon what she always tried to ignore. That, like the dark sky, her life was empty and absent of light.
I wander lost in yesterday
Wanting to fly, but scared to try
But tonight, everything seemed different. Why had she never noticed the tiny stars that appeared to be everywhere? Why had she not seen the misty clouds that made her feel as though she were in a snow globe? Was it just her, or did the moon seem especially bright tonight?
But, if someone like you
Found someone like me
She felt her lips turn up into a smile as she realized that somewhere, the moon was shining down upon him as well. She wondered if he ever took the time to notice the sky, if maybe she'd had the same effect on him and he was looking at it right now with the same wonderment.
Then suddenly, nothing would ever
Be the same
She'd always been alone. The days were easy enough to get by, but she'd never liked the night because it made her feel alone. Just like she was...
My heart would take wing And I'd feel so alive
How could someone make her feel this way? She was unable to sleep, unable to stop thinking about how lucky she was to live in this beautiful world.
If someone like you found me
... to live in the same world in which he lived, as well...
So many secrets I long to share
All I have needed is someone there
She tried to push it out of her mind; tried to remind herself that she was alone and always would be. But she couldn't stop thinking about his eyes, about their warmth, about how it felt when all that he did was smile at her.
To help me see a world I've never seen before
She must really be alone, she thought wryly, if meaningless things like that meant so much. Anyone can smile at you… yet... when he did it... somehow it was different.
A love to open every door
To set me free,
So I can soar
It made her feel optimistic, truly alive; like her meaning in the world mattered and that she could do anything that she tried... just as long as he kept smiling at her.
If someone like you
Found someone like me
She really should have felt empty, being alone in her cold bed, emptiness and longing instead to be in his gentle embrace. She should be sad, and wistful, shouldn't she?
Then suddenly,
Nothing would ever be the same
He didn't make her feel like a government experiment. He didn't make her feel like a Gundam fighter. He made her feel like a girl, like a woman, like herself... like Allenby Beardsley.
My heart would take wing
And I'd feel so alive
If someone like you found me
She kept hearing his voice, kept seeing his face in front of her. She had a feeling that were she finally be able to sleep, she would dream of him. His eyes, his smile, and the way that her name sounded when he spoke it, with his cute Neo-Japanese accent.
If someone like you
found someone like me
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same
"I am Allenby Beardsley." She realized. "A friend of Domon Kasshu."
My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive
A friend, and nothing more. Still, it was nice to even be able to relate herself to him somehow.
If someone like you
Loved me...
She just wished that she could say that she belonged to him, and not Neo Sweden.
Loved me...
And then she knew that she would finally have found her place, her meaning; her endlessly brilliant sky. And it would never fade...
Loved me...
Just as long as he kept smiling at her.
Author's Note: I always wanted to do an Allenby songfic to this song, and today Lea Salonga's lovely rendition of it inspired me to finally get to it. I guess that I've really warmed up to Allenby, huh? Oh well! I'm considering doing another musical songfic, this time for Rain... so keep your eyes open for that one. Hehe.
I hope that you enjoyed it! It feels good to be back in the G Gundam songfic biz. ^^;
