Gaze upon the glory, masterfully rewritten by MOI! Ha.
So here's the plan: I write a short fic for each line (or verse, depending on how it flows).
Here's the reality: I'm lazy and it's the end of the school year (which spells finals and homework and an AP human geo test, for which I really should be studying right now) so this may or may not be happening. But I live in the lovely city of Denial on a street called Under A Rock.
Obviously, I had to rearrange and fiddle with the lyrics to make it about 2 guys and a girl instead of 2 girls and a guy. Sorry for any awkward edits and for some rhyme slaughter and deviation from the original rhymes, but... It was necessary.
I'm Not That Boy
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
She could be that girl
I'm not that boy
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
She could be that girl
I'm not that boy
Every so often we long to steal
To the land of what might have been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blythe smile, lithe limb
He is handsome and she loves him
Silver hair and a gentle air
That's the boy she chose
And the Angel knows
I'm not that boy
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I don't want to douse their joy
I know she's the girl
I love her so
I'm not that boy
The song itself is supposed to take place after Clockwork Prince, but the fics themselves will likely skip around in time, so BE WARNED!
