Song: As I Lay Me Down by Sophie B. Hawkins
"I sat outside on the beach. I always looked up at the sky, hoping and praying that I'd see you. But for a long time I didn't. Not for years. But I was faithful, every morning I would stare at the sky. Even though Selphie, Tidus and Wakka worried about me. Even though they tried to pry me away. I clung onto the small, miniscule hope that you would come back, and I would see you coming down from the sky. I always remembered your promise to me, that you would come back."
It felt like spring time on this February morning
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today
Now
"At night, I would look out my window, hours into the night and pray that you would come back to me. I felt so alone and helpless, with you not there. Sometimes I would cry, but mostly I would just hope. I looked for shooting stars knowing that if I saw one, I could be sure you were there, somewhere. Then I got mad sometimes, why weren't you back yet? Why couldn't you come back to me! But I know now that that was selfish. The whole universe wanted you, including me. I was lucky that you actually wanted me back."
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name
Into the sky
And I will wake up happy
"Was it you who sent those dreams? The ones of you and me, and you told me you loved me. Was that you? Was it really you who said you loved me? Did you miss me the way I missed you? After those dreams I always felt so happy. Somehow, I knew you were telling me that you were safe and still alive."
I wonder why I feel so high
Though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted
Till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
I'll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathing
"Do you remember when you came back Sora? How happy I was? After two years, I finally saw you again. I was so happy when you finally did fall from the sky… Right into my arms."
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy"Maybe those two years weren't so bad. I think it made our love stronger. I probably wouldn't be saying that if you hadn't come back. I love you Sora… Don't you ever do that again." She said, sighing and snuggling a little farther into his arms. His quiet breaths tickled her neck. He had been asleep long ago, but she was telling the story more for herself.
"Sora…" she whispered into the night, and smiled as she fell asleep.
Yay! I'm so on a roll.. XD, I think I'm songfic obsessed. This one was more cute than the other one. But I still like the other one better…
Enjoy!
