When can my heart beat again
When does the pain ever end
When do the tears stop from running over
When does "you'll get over it" begin
I hear what you're saying
But I swear that it's not making sense
So when can I see you

When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
When can I breathe once again
And when can I see you

I stared at the statue, a work of art lost in the depths below the city, surrounded by the rock and stone she controlled so easily. A fitting resting place for the blond girl I loved with all my green being. Tears slid down my face, leaving small tracks in the dirt on my face. Memories of the times we spent together, laughing and crying, simply holding each other, bombarded my mind, leaving an ache that could never disappear. It seemed like only yesterday we saw her being chased by a giant scorpion, leading it into a dead-end gorge before smashing it with a column of earth. After that, she kept amazing us -me- with who she was. I couldn't help but fall in love. Who could blame me?

When does my "someday" begin
When I'll find someone again
And what if I still am not truly over
What am I supposed to do then, babe...
Do you see what I'm saying
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you

When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see you... again

The sound of quiet footsteps caught my attention, tears still streaming down from my emerald eyes. Eyes that used to see so much happiness and laughter, but now saw naught but heartache. I could smell who it was before she got close, the scent of lavender and jasmine, and the scent that just screamed Raven filtering through my mind. She never said anything as she sat down beside me, knowing words would do nothing but make it worse. I always appreciated that about her, how, even though she never had someone to do that for her when she was younger, she still knew how to comfort others. I felt her arm slide across my shoulders, pulling me close and letting me know that she was there for me.

Yeah, baby
Do you see what I'm saying
Even if, if it's not making sense, baby
So when can I see you again

When can I see you again
Can my heart beat again, baby
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see, babe, again

Wanna see you again
Again...

I'll always love you, feelings like that cannot ever leave the heart. But maybe, just maybe, I'll be alright, and things can get better for me. After all, each and every one of us is only as alone as we make ourselves. For the first time, I realize just how lucky I am to have friends like I do, friends who will stay by me no matter what. And maybe, just maybe, I'll find that someone who truly loves me, no matter what. I'd like to think you'd be happy about that.
