Dedication:
Niki, dear, I'm a failure because I must write slash, but I tried really hard not too. Just I did. I'm sooo sorry. I hope you like it anyway. The song is amazing.
Jordan- Because you read all my shit, and you rock. Thanks for being such a great friend.
Marlene- Sweetheart, no matter what. Everything I write I think about you. Always.
Author Note: Songfic. Song is Now or Never by Josh Groban. Wonderful.
I watch you now in the silence of the morning dawn. The way you curl to the pillow that use to be me; the way you call out in your sleep. You look so peaceful, yet pain every now and then streaks your face. Sometimes I wonder what exactly it is that you're dreaming and why I ache so much observing it.
I watch the morning dawn upon your skin
A splinter in the light
It caught and frayed the very heart of us
As I sit upon your window seal, I think back into the past we shared. All the laughed and smiles that broke slowly upon my leaving. Do you miss me, Naruto? I like to tell myself that you do; that you can never love someone like how you loved me. But in truth, it's only a way to hide the fact that with my choices I can no longer have you.
It's been hiding there inside for all this time
How a sure thing winds up just like this
Clockwork silence only knows
We are enemies now. You are a ninja from Konoha, and I am one from sound. Though it is no ones fault. You can not blame me for my choices, looking into my past the way you have. That is one thing I always admired about you Naruto; that you could never hate. You only saw us, and now you see you and me. But on these nights I visit you, we are one.
And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
Tick tock, tick tock. The clock marks the hours that have past since I arrived and count down the minutes before I must leave. I must never let you know when I come or when I go, because I would be giving you hope for another life you can not have.As I look outside, being greeted with the morning light, I know. It's now or never, but I have choose now.
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never
I look over to you still sleeping without a care in the world and I can't help but smile lightly. I've been coming far to often to see you anymore; I'm trying to hard to stay when I know I cannot. I shattered the bound we had, and I must keep it that way. I must say goodbye for now, and break the happy ending we never achieved.
Sleeping anxious still at 3 am
We're trying far too hard
The tattered thought balloons above our heads
Sinking in the weight of all we need to say
Why's and what if's have since long played out
Left us short on happy endings
It is time for me to leave, for you will be waking within minutes. You always do, looking around like someone is there, but I never am. It's you and me at night, and only you when you wake, but please remember it's no ones fault. I will continue to come even when you move on, for you are my life. That ache I feel must be because I cannot be with you, because I feel it when I 'm gone. It's now or never.
And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never
Never is what I choose.
