Goodbye To You-
-
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes…
Looking up into the night air, she took a deep painful breath into her lungs as she held the air still fighting back the anger and grief that was overwhelming her every thought. So many memories over the years, she has waited….
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
"Tifa?" his voice was soft as he spoke her name out quietly. Turning her head back, she meets his gaze as he flashes her an adoring smile. "Hey babe, why aren't you back inside? The party just started?" walking around to her, she watches as he squats in front of where she sat on the cold concrete barrier.
When she refused to meet his gaze, she felt the slightest touch of his fingers to her chin. "Tifa… what's wrong?" he asks sounding a bit troubled.
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend…
And I say
"I'm leaving." she finally forces the small sentence out as the breath of air escapes her lungs roughly. Lifting her thick lashes the held the slightest bit of moisture as he frowned watching her. "I don't understand.." he breathes
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
She felt his hands on her now, the weight of his concern only complicated her decision that she had contemplated for so long. "I think it's best this way…" her uneasiness was apparent as her words were choppy and filled with emotion. "Tifa? Would you look at me?… Hey.." catching her chin, he gently tilted her face till her dark gaze finally lock into the deep blue depths of his.
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
"What are you saying?" he asks her. Blinking , she feels her lip begin to tremble gently as she forced the love she felt for him back. "I can't stay here any longer." she replies as she leaned back away breaking the contact of his fingers against her skin.
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
"I don't understand…" he starts as he reaches out. Tifa holds up her hand to him "Don't." the word was spat out before she realized how it sounded. She looks back as he drops his hand back down to his thigh. Shaking his head, he tilts his eyes slightly taking in her burden laced complexion. "Baby come on, you know you can tell me.. Please Tifa?" She takes another painful breath in, holding the tears at bay.
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
"I can't live like this anymore.." she starts as he quickly interrupts her. "What is that suppose to mean? Did someone say something? Tell me who said it I swear…" "It's you!" she snaps as he looks back at her wide eyed filled with surprise. She stares at him for a long moment to watch him curious to what his reply would be. Shaking her head, she stands before his hand to touch her. "No.." she breathes with the anger filling her hurt. "I won't let you hurt me, not again." She breathes looking down at him as he slowly rises to his full height. "Tifa…" he starts again
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
As the tears finally escaped the barrier of her lashes, she breathes "Goodbye Cloud" Drawing her quivering lip between her teeth baring them into the skin, she turns without speaking another word.
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
