Carrcickfergus

A/N: Hey guys! Here's my third fic, based on the VERY beautiful song by Charlotte Church with the same title. Unfortunately, the story is not even half as beautiful as the song, but hey, I wrote it within half an hour… oh well, enjoy the story and tell me what you think. =)

I wish I was in Carrickfergus

Where the castle looks out to sea

I would swim over the deepest ocean

For my love to be with me

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

          The tides come and go as I stand on the beach, looking out into the vast water body. The waves lap at the shore as the backwash eroded the sand beneath my bare feet. And I sank, my toes invisible beneath the materials.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

But the sea is wide

And I cannot swim over

Nor have I the wings to fly

I wish I had a handsome boatman

To ferry me over my love and I

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

          Maybe life is just like the sea, where the tides come and go, the occasional storms disturbing the tranquility. Maybe it was a good thing, for after the storm, the beach will look different. Change is always good, isn't it? I certainly have been through enough changes to last me several lifetimes, but yet, I feel that I have never really changed…

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I wish I was in the land of Eire

Where the mountains reach the sea

Where flowers blossom

As I do remember

Where my true love came to me

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

          The sun is setting, its amber rays emitting their last signs of light, as they reflected off my locks of gold, giving them a glow similar to itself. Maybe my life is more like the sun, always giving day after day, but getting nothing in return… As it sets behind the mountains, I could feel its sadness and reluctance, hoping that one day, it will be appreciated for what it has done. Still, the waters continue to move, oblivious to the dark as the moon took over. Even the light from the moon comes from the sun, right?

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

But the sea is wide

And I cannot swim over

Nor have I the wings to fly

Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus

To be together my love and I

To be together my love and I

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

          But not tonight, for I am here. I am here to tell the world what the sun has done, and here to share my joy that finally, my life is not like the tides anymore, repeated with the same things everyday. I have found a meaning, and something to live for. I have found my love…

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I wish I was in Carrickfergus

To be together my love and I

          "Quisty are you ready?" I turn around, recognizing the voice immediately. It was low, and rich… and music to my ears. I nodded, "Yeah, let's go." We followed our way down the shore, past the sand dunes, to the boat waiting for us in the distance. As we rowed away from the shore,  leaving our sorrows behind us… forever… I was bound to a land with no worries, and where I can see the sun every evening, smiling back at me.

          "Seifer?"

          "Hmm?"

          "Thank you."

I wish I was back home again……
