I haven't written for Pokemon in forever :O I bringing back the TwinLeafShipping love~
This is supposed to take place 15 years later. Barry, as I am trying to suggest, has matured and noticed how reckless he used to be. I'm not trying to make him OOC, I'm trying to show that he has changed as time went on.
This concept has probably been used before, I'm sorry if you think I am copying you. It's just something I thought of on a Pokemon kick. I haven't checked the archives in forever, so if this has been done just tell me and I will take it down~ Thank you all.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.
I'm jealous, I won't deny it
In this store, watching you twirl about
While dresses of tulle and satin surround me
.
But you look so pretty
And I can't deny the fact that you are so perfect in white
Maybe if days had passed differently, moments more slowly
Could I have won your heart then?
I'd like to think I would
.
If life had played out according to plan
But I was young and reckless
Running from A to B, never stopping for life
What I'd give for a second chance
A second chance to pause and stare at you
To hold you in my arms and whisper 'I'll be back'
I was too young and stupid to know it then
.
If only I had noticed that I had time, I had years
If only I could have seen that the top was a challenge not be rushed
If only I could have enjoyed the ride up
If only, if only
.
A smile graces your lips
You cock your head and you ask
And I fight back the urge to pick you up and run out of the store
Far away, so far away
Nobody would catch us
And when we reached our destination
I would stop and halt my life
And right then and there, no matter where
I would make up for all those lost years.
.
Yet all I can do is hold back tears
Murmuring, every so slowly 'As perfect as always'
You laugh, tossing those blue curls back
How I wish you were mine
.
Five years of youth were fleeting
Ten years of life gone too quickly
Mistakes were made
They cannot be undone
.
I just pray
That in the years to come, no matter what
You'll always be as beautiful as ever, as happy as you are now
.
And me?
I will continue on
Rushing as always
A bump will come around again
Just as before, I will ignore it as always
This time, though, I won't let it slip away.
