It was dinner time in Big Green, the commander of Big Green could see everyone sitting with their friends, eating or chatting with each other while Apetrully just sat a table by himself, feeling his loneness consume him.
He glance at the stage that was requested by Hope and sighed. He could remember that around this time, Hope would be singing happily, creating entertainment for everyone to see. Apetrully sighed as he watch Hope went up on the stage, and thought, I'm feeling a bit depress about this love thing. Maybe I should skip this one this time. I don't think I could handle it anymore.
Before the commander could stand up, he heard the song Hope picked for her karaoke of the night. It wasn't upbeat and happy, but slow, kind of classical, and almost sad. Apetrully decided to stay to listen.
Hope: It's just, all these little thoughts of you
I don't want to share with anyone
Because I want you to be mine, and mine alone
It's just that, all these little things about you
The commander found it kind of strange that Hope was singing a rather calm song when in the past, she sang upbeat songs. This song sounded pretty romantic and almost sad. Mostly pretty romantic.
H: I don't want to think about them, because
I get embarrassed when I smile to myself
You cam home so tired after working all night long, and still
You held me lovingly
Though I was already dreaming, I knew you were there
Apetrully could see couples around moving a bit closer together, happily listening to the song. He let out a small, sad sigh, feeling a bit jealous of them for able to find love before he could. He thought, How do they do it?
H: I miss you, I miss you
There's nothing more that I can do now
I miss you, I miss you
Always... forever...
I'll love you
His heart almost stopped at the words 'I'll love you'. Apetrully shook his head and thought, No. It's just part of the lyrics. Sometimes her songs are about love or something like that.
H: Did you know? On that night...
When we rode together on the bike...
When I sat behind you...
Did you know what I wished for?
I know I shouldn't be so depressed, but I know Hope will never be in love with me. She thinks I'm just a friend and that'll be the only think she'll think of me. Apetrully sadly thought, balling his hands into fists.
H: Did you know? That night...
When we looked up together at that starry night...
Did you know I could see our happiness written there in the stars?
The commander was about to leave until he heard these words from Hope.
H: I used to be so alone and lonely
You changed me for the better,
You always supported me,
No matter what
Apetrully felt most of the pressure about his love for Hope lifted off of his shoulder. He remembered how happy Hope was when he invited Hope to live in Big Green and many other times he seen her smiled.
H: I miss you, I miss you
I don't want to have to let you go
I miss you, I miss you
Always... forever
I'll love you
I'll just wait. Hope always seems to be clueless about love, but maybe I should wait until she matures a bit. I'll wait for her. I don't care if I have to wait years. I'll do it if I could show my love for her. Apetrully thought.
H: I miss you, I miss you
There's nothing more that I can do now
I miss you, I miss you
Always, always, always,
Always, always, always,
I'll always love you
Everyone clapped as Hope bows. The commander could feel her pink eyes on him when she smiled. Apetrully let out a small sigh and thought, Maybe it's not the right time to tell her yet, but maybe in the future, I'll tell and it might be possible that she might accept me.
