Tonight, I just lie here, watching you breathe, watching you dream, watching you sleep.. A sleep, from which you might never wake up…
I know you're in pain and you want to escape, but I'll hold on to you, just a little longer… You see, I'm not ready to let you go. Nor will I ever be…
Your memories- our memories- will always stay with me until I could join you in your peaceful slumber..
I'm thinking back to the time when we first met. Enemies at a glace, we were. And we continued to be enemies, till the school ended. Till the war ended.
After that, a grudging respect built for each other on both our sides, seeing each others courage and strength in the war... We both had lost a lot in that war. Family, friends, trust…
And then, the respect turned into friendship, though not an easy one.
Neither of us wanted to talk about the war and all that we had lost and the rest of our friends were worried. But they thought that we could cure each other of the still lingering fear of the long ended war. You ex-girlfriend even hit you over your head to make you forget the war. We never did, did we?
And I don't know when, but this friendship turned into love for me, and soon after, for you too.
I remember stuttering while trying to ask you out, and when I failed miserably, you embraced me..
And your smell still lingers in this room, and your taste still haunts my tongue, and every detail of your face is etched into my brain forever.
Tonight you're leaving me all alone, and I hate myself that I cant do anything about it.
But if there's one thing I can do, that is, when the song in your heart ends, I'll carry you to where you belong, and my tears will come out as a prayer for you to remember me…
You will, won't you?
