Someone Like You
I heard that you're settled down
Lucy van Pelt had grown up; and so had the rest of the Peanuts gang. She was in college, studying to be a real psychiatrist; she had also moved away to the Big Apple; New York. It was one more year until she graduated. She had heard from an old friend, Peppermint Patty, (or, now that they had grown up, Patricia), that Schroeder, her childhood love, had settled down, and found a good job. He turned out to be Patty's new apartment neighbor (Patty lived in New York City too). She had called Lucy up on the phone. They talked; but Lucy wanted to know more.
That you found a girl
And you're married now
Lucy was also surprised to hear that he was also newly married. She was half shocked and heartbroken. Patty said that his wife was a journalist, and that her name was Ashley. She loved Beethoven music, and appreciated it a more different way than Lucy ever did.
I heard that your dreams came true
Patricia also told her that Schroeder became a proffesional piano player. Lucy smiled. It was always Schroeder's dream to become a famous musician like Beethoven, his lifelong idol since he was a child.
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
Lucy learned that Ashley had actually made Schroeder famous with her article writing for a music magazine. Lucy rolled her eyes at that.
Old friend why are you so shy
It ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from life
Then she asked for his address and wrote it down. Lucy pulled her grey coat on and journeyed to his house. She finally reached his apartment door and knocked on it. A very pretty blonde with blue eyes and light brown highlights in her hair answered the door. Schroeder came up behind her and Lucy blushed. He was so handsome. She introduced herself and then let Schroeder explain to Ashley, shyly. Lucy was puzzled. Was he embarassed? She couldn't tell. But he surely didn't want to talk about her.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but
I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it
I'd hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over
By the looks of their faces, she guess that she was uninvited. She hated the thought that she was imposing on them, but they asked her to stay for dinner. She looked at Schroeder when he wasn't looking at her and thought, It isn't over yet.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg I re-member you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead
Lucy smiled and thought about when they were children. She would never, ever let those memories go.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
You'd know how time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
At dinner, Schroeder and Lucy reminiscenced about when they were kids and talked about the Peanuts gang, school, and other things. Lucy was grateful that Ashley didn't mind a bit. In fact, she seemed like she wanted to know more and more about Schroeder's childhood. Lucy guessed he didn't tell her much about his childhood.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but
I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it
I'd hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over
Lucy still felt like she was imposing on them, but stayed because the couple had asked her to. When Ashley left to get something out of the kitchen, Lucy stared deeply into Schroeder's eyes. He seemed to be avoiding her because he turned away. But she could never forget the things he told her.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg I re-member you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead, yeah
Lucy checked the time. It was late. If she slept this late, she would be late for her classes. She sighed and said she had to go immeadiately. She waved goodbye, and wished them the best. Lucy was deciding on whether she should pass by Patricia's apartment, but left instead. On the walk home, she thought about a number of things.
Nothing compares no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes their memories make
Nothing would compare to the time she spent with Schroeder, even if there were many bumps on the road along the away.
Who would have known how
Bitter-sweet this would taste
Lucy thought about there first meeting in years. It was so bittersweet.
Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg I re-member you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead
Lucy decided she would have to move on. Schroeder had moved on, she why couldn't she? She was still in love with him, of course. But she had to be strong. Lucy held her head up high, the walk home freezing cold.
Never mind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me I beg I re-member you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead
She did it! Lucy was going to move on. She would find someone like Schroeder. Lucy wished the best for him in her head, and thought silently, Don't forget me, Schroeder. "I'll remember you forever," she said, in a whisper. He was her first love; she could never forget that.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
"I love you."
~So, what did you think of it, huh, guys? This is the first time I've ever mixed a song and a story together. Pretty long one-shot, I know. I just thought it would be awesome to make something like this. REVIEW PLEASE! Arrigato and Sayonara,
LucyLuce22 ;-) (wink, wink)
