Nina's POV

Here I am waiting, I'll have to leave soon, why am I holding on

I'm lying awake next to you, dreading the moment when the sun will rise and daylight will come. For a moment, I forget why I'm holding on, then I remember: you.

We knew this day would come, we knew it all along How did it come so fast

How did this day come so fast? The day before I have to leave for summer break, back to America, a whole continent away from you. We both knew it was coming, yet it seemed to sneak up on us, and now it's almost here.

This is our last night, but its late and I'm tryin not to sleep

'Cuz I know, when I wake I will have to slip away

I'm trying to keep my eyes open, but it's getting harder and harder with every passing moment. Already my lids feel like lead weights. Yet I continue to struggle, because I know that if I let them shut, when I open them it will be time to leave. I'm not ready to leave you yet.

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go

But, tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cuz in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But, tonight I need to hold you so close

The sky is lightening as my heart darkens, reminding me that time is running out. I'm going to enjoy what little of the sand in the hourglass I have left, and hold you as close as I possibly can. In the daylight, we'll be on our own, and I'll be lost without my other half. But until then, I won't think about that, and just enjoy now.

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Here I am staring, at your perfection in my arms; so beautiful.

The sky is getting bright, the stars are burnin' out. Somebody slow it down.

I can't help it: I'm thinking about it again. How can I not? The sky is getting brighter, and the stars are disappearing. If only someone would slow it down, and give me a little more time. I look down at you, your handsome face, and wish we would never have to part.

This is way too hard, 'cuz I know when the sun comes up I will leave

This is my last glance that will soon be memories

I didn't tell you I couldn't renew my scholarship. I wanted to spare you the pain, but now I realize I might have just caused more. Soon all I'll have left of you, of everyone, will be memories. This is too hard. I've never been good with goodbyes.

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go

But, tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cuz in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But, tonight I need to hold you so close

I'm going to miss this, the feeling of being safe and warm in your arms. I hold you tighter, hoping that it will help slow the time. I'm not ready to be alone, not yet. Not ready to leave you.

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

I never wanted to stop, because I don't want to start all over, start all over

I don't want to stop holding you, don't want this moment to end. Once I'm on that plane I'll have to start over, start a new life without you.

I was afraid of the dark, but now its all that I want, all that I want, all that I want

It's funny. I used to be afraid of the dark, but now it's the only thing I want.

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go

But, tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cuz in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But, tonight I need to hold you so close

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go

But, tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cuz in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But, tonight I need to hold you so close

No, I can't leave you yet, won't leave you yet. How can I face the daylight without you beside me? But it's too late, the time has come to slip away.

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa

Oh whoa, (yeah) oh whoa, (yeah) oh whoa (yeah) (yeah)

Oh whoa, (yeah hey) oh whoa, (yeah hey) oh whoa.

Third Person POV

Nina slid out of bed and kissed Fabian's cheek. She grabbed her suitcases, then set them down just long enough to scribble a note and place it on his dresser. I love you~Nina. Picking up her bags again, she quietly slipped out of the room just as the first beam of sunlight broke through the clouds.
