A/N: Alritey folks, my first songfic! And to those who are reading The Beautiful Death, this is a little somethin to hold ya off! ;) Enjoy!

*An ichihime fic*

"Ichigo." Her soft voice barely reached his ears.

Never can say goodbye, no, I can never say goodbye…

"Ichigo, please don't go…" Her voice broke at the end, followed by a hiccup.

"Orihime, I have to, you're not safe around me." His hoarse voice could barely choke out the words as he reached for the door handle again.

Though I try to hide my feelings, they always seem to show, then you try to say you're leaving me and I always have to say no…

Small arms wrapped around him as he felt her tear stained face on the back of his shirt.

Tell me why, is it so…

"Orihime, let go. Please, I can't keep you in harm's way anymore…"

But I, never can say goodbye, no I, never can say goodbye…

Her arms tightened their hold around him. He hated to see her cry. He hated it even more when she cried over him.

"Please Ichigo, stay with me, I don't want you to leave." Her voice always had the strangest effect on him.

Everytime I think I've had enough and start heading for the door, there's a very strange vibration piercing me right through the core.

He turned around and faced the weeping girl. The moment he did, he wished he hadn't. Her grey eyes shined with tears; her pink lips quivered. Her long, deep auburn hair was swept over on one shoulder. She had her hand claspled together as if she was praying.

It says, "Turn around you fool, you know you love her more and more!" Tell me why, is it so…?

He cursed under his breath. He couldn't do it. He told himself that today would be the day; today he would finally leave her for good. He couldn't be any more wrong.

"Orihime, please don't cry. I hate it when you cry, Hime…"

Don't wanna let you go! I never can say goodbye girl, I never can say goodbye…

He wrapped his arms around her tiny form. She instantly leaned against him, her head on his chest. He gently kissed her forehead.

"I'll stay Hime. Just stop crying."

I keep thinking that our problems soon are all going to work out, but there's that same unhappy feeling, there's that anguish there's that doubt. It's the same old thing, you hang up. Can't do with you or without…

She wipped away her tears and smiled. He smiled back, relieved that she stopped crying.

"I'm so glad you stayed, Ichi-kun. I don't know what I would do without you; I love you so much…"

He leaned down and kissed her softly on her lips.

"I love you too, Hime."

Never can say goodbye girl, no I can never say goodbye…

The End.
