Sometimes I'd hear her voice in my dreams, it was quiet, like a whisper, but clear enough to hear her say my name. It always made me grin, I would call back to her but she wouldn't hear me. I'd wake up with a nostalgic feeling, loneliness. I thought about her often, the princess of the candy kingdom, and how it seemed that I was in love with her. Can you believe that? A bad ass like me, Marceline the vampire queen in love with Ms. Bubblegum the scientist. I wouldn't have either but the pain was too real and the dreams are even more the proof. My subconscious screamed to see her, because I've denied long enough how much I miss her and need her. I'd pick up my bass and strum some strings messing around with the sounds and quickly forming lyrics in my head, she always inspired my music, even if it wasn't positive.
I think of you in my head
im so confused i feel fed
the wrong information
like the light opened up the dark
then it turns off and im lost at heart
to you
I whisper sweet thoughts out loud
and turn away at just the sound
I dont want to admit
The leaves fluttering around
missing the tree it originally found
as the seasons are changin
I look out the window as I stop to take a break, and I'm aware that I wasn't even sure how long its been since I last saw her. My body and mind were in sync for once, craving just the sight of her. My hands fiddle with the strings clumsily.
I've finally opened up my eyes
and I think that it's about time
to return into your arms
So I made a rash decision to see her and take my bass with me, seeing her kingdom draw closer made my stomach rumble in fear and anxiety. But I repeat the lyrics in my head until they give me strength and courage, I float by her balcony and get ready to sing to her exactly what I was feeling, the same song I've been singing in my head.
Because if i finally face the truth
I know Ill always be stuck with you
my sweet first love
She opens up her curtains as I'm about to start singing, she seemed surprise but she gives me a sweet smile I could practically taste. My stomach drops and i feel the warmth from my heart spreading quickly to the rest of my body. We smile at each other and I feel my heart pounding and I can sense hers doing the same. Thousands of thoughts race through my brain and the most repetitive one is that maybe she missed me too. I open my mouth to say something.
And ill kiss your sweet lips
and be filled with pure bliss
and find happiness.
Thats when I wake up, the words lost in the remnant of my dream. Disappointed, I look out my window towards the candy kingdom.
Maybe today was the day.
