I felt a strong need to do this. I was listening to the song, Sweet September by Josh Gracin, and had an idea for a songfic. It is my first one, but if you review, be brutal. I want to know what people honestly think of it. (It is a Gimore Girl Songfic, from Jess' point of view)
It was raining; the sound of it against the car disrupted my thoughts. Snapped back into reality, the first thing I noticed was her. My love, my life. The rain soon turned to music, setting the mood for a perfect afternoon.
Clear, crystal water drops,
Are on the windshield,
Melting along,
The sound,
Of perfect harmony,
Are in the background,
Sweet emotion,
I had just gotten my car, a brand new Cherokee. We drove far and fast, slipping away from life, from reality. I can still see her, beautifully relaxed; next to me. I remember how I had laughed when I saw her nail polish, the strangest red. How she loved everything about her to stand out. We feared for the future, but were making the best of the present.
We were young and free in my Cherokee,
Scared to death,
You had your head leaned back,
Your toes on the glass,
Watermelon red,
That day is still crystal clear in my mind, as if it happened yesterday. I can hear the song on the radio, her voice singing along. It was not long ago, September 13, 2007. Not a year has passed since that glorious, emotion-filled day. Not even the rain could ruin that moment with her. It was a long, fantastic month.
Yea, I remember what song was playing,
And that it was raining,
The time, the day, the month, the year,
The sweat, the steam, the urge, the fear,
There's nothing 'bout that long, wet, Sweet September,
I don't remember, yea
It still makes me happy to think of those days, even though they are long gone. I wonder if she ever reminisces on our memories, like I often find myself doing. It was an odd feeling to let sink in, that we weren't meant for each other, after all we had gone through together.
I smile,
And wonder where you are,
And if you ever,
Think of me,
And how,
After that night in my arms,
That we were never,
Meant to be,
We made the best of those times we shared; never letting anything get in our way. Hours, days, months passed, as did new experiences. We were in love. I wouldn't change a thing. When you feel like that for the first time, you will always remember.
Yea, we lived and learned,
The pages turned,
No regrets,
First time someone makes you feel like that,
You'll never forget,
I know, I have known, that we must move on from love when it is lost. I know I can never be with her again. But it is nice to know, that I have shared such wonderful times with someone. That I was in love. I still look back, never regretting a single second. Hoping, that one day, love like that will come again for me.
Yea, I remember what song was playing,
And that it was raining,
The time, the day, the month, the year,
The sweat, the steam, the urge, the fear,
There's nothing 'bout that long, wet, Sweet September,
I don't remember, yea
