Song Lyrics in italics
Memories
"words said"
Memories.
Dull blue eyes left open,
Memories.
to see the world without seeing,
Memories.
and to hallucinate.
In this world you tried
He was there again.
Not leaving me alone behind
Those black sandaled, pale feet were in front of me.
There's no other way
I reach out for him.
I'll pray to the gods: let him stay
"Please stay…" I whispered.
The memories ease the pain inside
His figure faded and I scrunched my eyes closed. Tears slip down my scared cheeks.
Now I know why
Clutching my head tight, I whimper at the sorrow filled beat.
All of my memories
Keep you near
Gasping, I clenched my eyes closed. I could feel his arms around me.
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
Pictures of us and videos my mind has kept play in front of my eyes.
All of my memories
Keep you near
And just one scene stuck.
The silent whispers, silent tears
Your voice just behind my ear, I swear I can feel you.
Turning around I open my eyes and your not there.
Made me promise I'd try
"Promise me Naruto!" an angered raven's voice yelled as he gripped the tan hand tighter.
To find my way back in this life
"No matter what happens, promise me!" his voice became softer when pale lips barely caressed light pink ones.
"Promise me you'll move on."
I hope there is a way
Tears pooled and spilled over soaking my bloody clothes.
To give me a sign you're okay
"Sa- 'ke." I weakly call out, my voice cracking. Give me a sign
Reminds me again
It's worth it all
A light touch on my bare shoulder startled me. My head jerked up in surprise only to see a picture of the one I cry for.
So I can go home
"NOOO!" I yelled my voice sounding raw as I lunged at the photo.
All of my memories
Keep you near
Grabbing it with so much force it cracked beneath my now sliced fingers.
Your image became frazzled around the edges.
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
I threw the lamp. It crashed against the painting I did for you.
You were slightly blurry now.
All of my memories
Keep you near
My chest heaving and your arms wrapped around me.
"You're really not there." I say a little brokenly.
The silent whispers, silent tears
Yet your voice caressed my senses as I fell to the floor screaming.
Together in all these memories
"SASUKE!" I'm screaming. My hands grip the floor even after they've turned white.
I see your smile
You're kneeling almost there and almost not there with that small smile gracing your features.
All the memories I hold dear
"Naruto." you whisper sweetly.
Darling you know I love you till the end of time
"SASUKE!" and I'm yelling with a feeling so harshly pulsing in my chest I think I might die.
All of my memories
Keep you near
And I know I'm screaming incoherent things to try and get you to stay.
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
But you're fading now.
All of my memories
Keep you near
Nevertheless I'm still screaming and I just now realize
I'm screaming, yelling, saying, whispering,
The silent whispers, silent tears
"I love you."
All of my memories
Of course I hoped you like it!
