Forgetting
Lyrics: Evanescence – "Taking Over Me"
You don't remember me But I remember you I lie awake an try so hard Not to think of you But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do...
One year. One year had already passed since Peter left her there, in the nursery room. But she hadn't given it up... until that night. She stood by the window looking at the shining stars, waiting for him. But life couldn't remain like that. She couldn't wait for him every night until her death. And she could almost see that he had forgotten her, though she remembered him too well.
I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to breathe to live You're taking over me.
So well that every night she woke trying to scream his name... though she only whispered it. And after that she would lie awake trying not to think of him, but he was always there... haunting her. When her brothers asked her if she believed that Peter was real she always told them she didn't... though she did. And she believed in him so much that she would give up everything just to find him.
I look in the mirror and see your face If I look deep enough So many things inside that are Just like you are taking over
She looked in the mirror, but she didn't see her face. Instead she saw his face looking back at her. She touched the mirror, blind by the image of her beloved Peter, never noticing it was just a mirror that showed lies. "Wendy, darling, it is time." "But I can't understand why, mother." "Tomorrow you'll be fourteen, dear... This is your last night as a child... the last one you spend in this room." "... And today I'm going to tell my last story, isn't it, mother?" asked Wendy, already knowing the answer, letting tears drop from her eyes. "Don't worry, dear. It'll be just fine. The same happened to me when my parents told me to grow up." Wendy softly smiled at her mother while she went out of the nursery room. Then, she turned to the window and, with pain in her heart she spoke, looking at the stars. "I'm sorry, Peter, but I must grow up and forget all my childish dreams – that includes you. I've been waiting for you and you haven't come. You have forgotten me and I shall do the same to you, though it is painful. I just wanted to tell you that I lo... liked you very much but... it's destiny. I must let go." As she said this the pain grew bigger and worse. The same happened to Peter, who was in the roof, listening to his Wendy- lady. The pain was growing and he gasped as his kiss, the acorn he gave her, dropped from her hands, falling into the snow. And he almost screamed when she closed the window, tears pouring across her beautiful and young face.
