She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh, I guess I should have told her
I thought she knew
Tai sighed as he looked at the grave of his friend. The gravestone read, Sora Takenouchi, beloved friend and daughter. June 6th, 1979- September 11th, 2001. It was now October, and every month since her death, he had gone to her grave. Tai remembered that day too well. The Digidestined had gone to New York City to visit Mimi. She and Tai had a fight, and Sora ran away and went to the World Trade Center. Two planes crashed into the towers, and they were destroyed. While she had escaped the destruction, she'd been injured fatally. Tai had managed to get her out of there, and brought her to the store where the others had hid. Sora had bled to death in that store. Not only that, she died in Tai's arms. He could still hear her laughing. She was his in once in a lifetime, a happy ending come true. "I guess I should've told you. But, I thought you knew, Sora-chan. I'm sorry I let you down. I'm sorry I never told you. I love you, Sora-chan," he whispered as he tossed a bunch of red roses on her grave. He smiled a little. Roses were her favorite flower, especially red ones.
She said I took her for granted.
That's the last thing I would do
Oh, I'll never understand it
I thought she knew
What hurt Tai more than her death was what Sora had said to him that day. "I don't see why I'm your friend, Tai! All you do is take me for granted!" she'd told him before running out of Mimi's apartment. He tried to catch up with her, but she was too fast. Sora had been the fastest runner in their school. "I didn't take you for granted, Sora -chan. That's the last thing I would do," he said as he stared at her grave.
I thought she knew my world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
"I thought you knew my world revolved around you. You were the only girl I ever loved. It was my fault you couldn't see it. I have only myself to blame for your death. If I hadn't started that fight, you wouldn't have gone to the World Trade Center, and you would still be here. I'm sorry." He couldn't stop blaming himself. He hadn't been there for her, and she was dead because of it.
A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're through
I'd sell my soul to have this silence broken
Oh, I thought she knew
I thought she knew
Now that she was gone, Tai was empty. His world was full of a silence he would sell his soul to have broken. Sora had been his everything. He would give his life if it meant her happiness. But, his world had come crashing down around him. Sora was dead, and Tai had never told her that he was in love with her.
I thought she knew my world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
Tai walked home through a pelting rainstorm half an hour later, his heart heavy. Sora wasn't the only friend he'd lost in the past few months. Matt had died from a heart attack a few weeks after Sora's funeral. Hotaru had been killed in a car accident last month. He had no one now. His three best friends were dead, and it would be a long time until he saw them. Not until he reached heaven, at least.
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh, I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew, ooh
I thought she knew, yeah
I thought she knew, ooh
Ooh, I thought that she knew
He entered his apartment, and turned on the TV. The phone rang. It was Mimi. "Tai, I've been wondering something. Maybe you can help me." "I'll try." "Okay. I know you loved Sora. I know that she loved you. Why didn't you tell her?" "I thought she knew."
