Unhappy - Thriving Ivory
When he looks back at that first night - it's all a blur. He can't remember anything but her. He remembers it was an important day - the crowning of King Jonathan - but he can't remember anything about the ceremony, or the parties, or...well, anything. All he remembers is that look she gave him. Kissing her in the corridor until neither of them could breathe properly. Her voice in his ear as she whispered 'I love you'.
Back 2 Good - Matchbox Twenty
He can't focus on the meeting. He tries, but no matter how hard he stares at Commander Buri, his mind wanders to dark haired girl sitting beside him. He wants to tell her how sorry he is, that he knows he's messed things up, perhaps for good. Instead he is forced to sit in silence and listen to Buri go on about...well he's not exactly sure what she's going on about because he can't seem to pay attention. He knows she's not paying attention either. She keeps looking out the window, then at Commander Buri, then she lets her eyes wander until they reach the window again. Her foot is tapping impatiently. Neither of them want to be there but they have to. He wishes he could fix things between them, but he can't. He closes his eyes and sighs.
Memory - Sugarcult
Was it worth it? He thought so. Whatever time they had together would be better than trying to pretend they felt differently for the rest of their lives he told himself. After all, things might work out alright. Still, if she was having doubts...Were they doing the right thing?
Come Round Soon - Sara Bareilles
She had to keep believing that he'd come around. That he'd stop skirting around his feelings and just make up his bloody mind! She sighed. Even if he said that he just wanted to be friends, well that would be better than not knowing.
Letters From War - Mark Schultz
She held the pen poised above the page. A thousand words came to mind, things she could say. As she sat there a drop of ink fell from the tip of the pen, leaving a blotch of ink. What was the point of writing anymore? She hadn't heard from him in months. She wasn't even sure he was still alive. She put down the pen beside the paper. Perhaps she'd come back to it later. Perhaps not.
Dig - Incubus
She was his greatest weakness and his greatest strength. She kept him steady, kept his feet on solid ground. She made sure he didn't lose himself in the war. At the same time, if anything should happen to her...well, he didn't like to think what he'd do if something were to happen to her, especially if it was because of him.
Change Your Mind - The Killers
"I'm not taking you back Evin," she hissed. "We've talked about this. It's over." She turned and continued down the corridor. He caught up with her and grabbed her hand.
"Can I change your mind?" he asked softly.
Stand Still, Look Pretty - The Wreckers
"Why'd you join the Riders?" he asks her one night.
"I'm sure I've told you before," she says, avoiding the question. He shakes his head. She sighs.
"I couldn't take standing around while other people were making a difference." she says.
Ever Fallen In Love - Pete Yorn
He really shouldn't have fallen in love with her. It causes far too many complications in his already complicated life. Everyone says you shouldn't fall for your best friend. He knows it could ruin things between them. But he can't help it. He loves her anyway.
Day of Rain - Thriving Ivory
It had been a long summer. A long, hot summer with the Bazhir in the deserts. The day they arrived back in Corus it rained. Not just a light summer rain, but a real downpour, with thunder and lightning and the whole works. Miri dropped everything and ran outside. She stood there, face upturned to the sky until she was soaked through.
As soon as Evin found out she was back in town he went searching for her. When he finally found her she was standing in front of the barracks, rain streaming down her face. They stood there together until the clouds began to dissipate and the downpour became a light sprinkle.
