Back to December
It was a dark, and cold winter morning, well it is for Marlene. She was all buried in her bed covers clutching a picture of Skipper. A few months without him seemed to make her realize that he really is important to her. She missed the good times she shared with him. She grabbed her Spanish guitar and the song she wrote a few weeks with her broken heart.
"I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why"
"'Cause the last time you saw me
Still burned in the back of your mind"
As she continued her song, petal fell from a rose Skipper gave her and watched it go gently down the floor. And continued…
"You gave me roses and I left them there to die"
"So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time"
She stopped playing her guitar though continued the singing, but more quietly almost like a whisper. She grabbed something from her drawer a scrapbook she flipped through the pages of their happy memories they made.
"These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
Realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye"
Grabbing a scarf and something hidden on the scrapbookand started to set off to the park. Her first time to see the outside in months.
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time"
She stopped at the Penguin Habitat and looked Skipper and the others were there. Marlene looked at Skipper for a moment, a single moment her eyes met his. Both of them saw each others sadness. Marlene looked away and continued to go in her destination trying not to let tears go down in her cheek. But it did. She continued her song but a bit louder.
"I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand"
Finally she reached the park, the place full of Marlene's memories.
"But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine and
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright and
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind and
I go back to December all the time."
She took out the item she grabbed on her scrapbook…a letter. She placed it under a root of a tree that reminded her alot of memories. She knew someday he'll visit this place…and come back to her.
