And We'll Get Lost Together
"Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seemed to change
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away"
-Lost, Michael Bublè
"Puzzles with missing pieces don't make a picture. And I know it's true, because an incomplete girl sits next to me, reminding me of the pieces she's lost, and of the pieces in my heart that I'll never find."
-Finnick Odair
…o…
"Finnick?" she asks.
"Hm?" "Do you think we could ever be birds?"
"I don't know, Annie. Maybe, if you wished hard enough it'll happen." They leaned against each other, on the pier, both their shoulders touching, and both their feet lightly touching the water beneath.
"I think I would be happier, if we were birds."
He looked down and studied his hands, not responding.
"Because then, we could fly far, far away."
Finnick smiled at her then, and turned to study her eyes, "Yeah, I think I'd like that too." Like a child, her eyes lit up and she grasped his hands in hers. "Then it's a promise! One day, we'll both be birds, you and me, and we'll fly away, like those seagulls on the beach, and never come back." She paused and let out a soft smile, "Just you and me."
He gripped her hands a little tighter, and hoped she wouldn't see the tears that clouded his eyes. One day, sweetheart.
