This is Rikku's thoughts at the end of the game. I've rewritten it a little bit, but still, MAJOR SPOILER! This has nothing to do with any of my other stories.
Disclaimer: I don't own FF10 or Garth Brooks' song, "The Dance."
The Dance
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
He'd held me so close, as if he would never let me go. I'd cherished every breath, knowing his end would come soon. And now I'm the one holding him as his heart slows.
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
The pyreflies are coming, coming to take him from me. The tears are streaming freely. I don't want to lose him. I have to do something.
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey whose to say you know I might have changed it all
His form is growing paler. His russet eye seems slightly duller. Gods, he's put his hands on my cheek. My jaw is dropping at the words he tells me.
"I love you."
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
As the pyreflies are fading I whisper my reply. "I love you."
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
*sniffs* I just wanted to write something sweet. If the lyrics sound wrong just remember that I copied them directly from the little book in my CD case. Bye!
