Freya : never really meant to do another one-shot again (sorry!) while I'm drowning in Spiral 2 (and other works) prep-ing… but… it wouldn't leave me alone! Please, you have to know… I'm a hard core fan (I know the name of Kanone's violin for Pete's sake!) but… oh firetruck, just listen to this : " Sen no yoru wo koete " by Aqua Timez… I assure you, you will be touched.
Legend: "blah"- lyrics ; "blah" - thoughts
Anyway, this is dedicated to those who have loved, and those who know that that is better than to never have loved at all.
I want to be loved, but you don't seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
- "Over a thousand nights" by Aqua Timez
It would be the day full of miracles, of dreams-come-true, of goals-attained, of happy reunions and happier meetings… yes, the day would be perfect, for everyone in their own little way, because I'm not the selfish to want every good thing for myself.
Do you love me? Or not love me?
It would be the day my brother would realize something, and remember that he forgot someone important, someone who cared for both him and me… someone that he should love now that everything was over.
As for things like that, it's already fine either way
It would be the day that Eyes would stop, stop for the love of God, carrying everything on his shoulders, alone, and finally realize that is nothing wrong with being cursed- because Kanone would be there.
No matter how I wish
There are many unchangeable things in this world, right?
Right, it would be the day Kanone would come back, to be by Eyes' side again, not as his mentor, not as a Blade Child- not as anything but his lover. Soul mate. Life partner, and any other synonym to the phrase "someone who loved, loves you still, and will love you for all eternity."
That's right, and because only the fact of my loving you
Is the truth unchangeable by anyone
It would be the day that Ryoko and Sayako and Rio- it would be the day that their dreams and fantasies would be there, just there, for them to grab and hold on to.
I want to overcome the thousands of nights and tell it to you
Ryoko would be able to run and live a normal life, no longer forced to face the terrors of being a Blade Child.
There's something that I must tell you
Sayako would remember her family, remember whatever it was that she forgot… and then, it would be like the old times for her- smiles and laughter and, oh god, nothing would ever harm her again.
In this broad world, I can't express the joy of encountering you with words
And Rio, gods Rio, would either grow taller or get as many melons as she wanted and-and-and…
Here's where you let the tears finally fall, and you start to wonder if a fall would do you some good-Gods what was he thinking?!- … and you would get up, look up at the very least and continue your train of thoughts to the very end…
So we smile, sing about the vividly passing autumn in do-re-mi
It would be the day I could finally tell Hiyono how I really felt, and how I really enjoyed being with her… and how I really didn't thinking the song was weird at all… I could finally look her in the eye and tell her, just tell her…i
Turn our backs on winter, wait for the sunlight streaming through trees in spring
And become reborn anew, so that we can protect someone
It would be the day that I could finally stop worrying, because everyone would be fine and they wouldn't be lonely anymore, and they wouldn't need my saving hand because they'd-they'd-
You're losing it again, stumbling over thoughts as you turn your head up- and even that is difficult in itself- and you're letting yourself fall… fall harder, dammit!...
And you dare dream, you dare think of him…
On the path we came from and our destination, when we looked back, I'd always have timid eyes
And here coherent thought has failed you, because you collapsed… not really thinking anymore, as you listen… just listen… everything's just blank noise… nothing nothing…
It would be the day he could finally ambush Kousuke –Gods, he loved that name- on the roof of the school, and he would tell him how he felt, how much he has fallen over the past few months…
I want to face you, but I can't be honest
And he would be truthful about it, and relaxed because he somehow knew what his reaction would be… and everything wouldn't have to have a double meaning, he wouldn't have to wonder or worry about anyone as the red-head would slowly close the distance between them…
I, who repeated days of not being able to straightforwardly love my partner
And hated being alone on that day
And Ayumu would tell him everything, every bit of it…
How he would wake up after every nightmare calling Kousuke's name, how he dreamt sometimes of the older teen coming back to school again, and then from there he would tell him how much he missed him, how lonely it was, how long he'd had to wait for Kousuke to come back…
"I hate being alone…"
Seemed to love people while unwounded
And that tight grip on him wouldn't diminish in its strength, nor its gentleness… and he would hear whispered words that he knew had to be only for him- not for anyone else because they already had all that they wanted.
I'll overcome the thousands of nights and go meet you now
There is something that I must tell you
Yes, it would lead to something more, and they would watch the stars fall on the night of that perfect day… watch as the people they cared for relax and leave their worries of loneliness and sadness and being betrayed and broken- they could leave all those behind and just lie there…
I want to be loved
But Ayumu knew, he knew and everyone else knew… they all knew that that day would never come.
The day full of miracles, of dreams-come-true, of goals-attained, of happy reunions and happier meetings, of leaps-of-faith and landings-on-sturdy-ground… they all knew that that day would only come in their dreams.
The day…
That day that must always have a sunrise and a sunset- because everything had to have a beginning and an end.
That day that would forever stay in their dreams –his dreams- and they wouldn't be able to realize it.
That day… that dream world… why did he have to have that dream anyway? Why did it have to be so perfect and, oh, so painfully short, so painfully un-true…
The farthest thing from reality and logic and the things he knew he'd committed his soul and body and mind to…
The things that he couldn't have-wouldn't have- never would have because there were too many things to be done- to be undone- to be seen- to be unseen- to be felt- to be numb to-why did everything have to be so confusing?!
He knew it all, and yet he felt as if he knew nothing other than the pain- the searing, hot, unstoppable pain….
…of no one being there…
…of looking for someone and never finding them…
…of trusting someone and being let down…
…of being betrayed and hurt and despised…
…of not being able to runaway when you're scared…
…of not being able to see, to feel, to remember the important things in life…
…of not being there…
…of not being noticed, and loved and cared for- for what you truly are…
…of knowing everything would end…
…of knowing there would have to be price for everything you ever had…would ever have… would wish for…
…of not being loved by the person you have loved so much it hurt…
but you don't seem to love me
It was all too damnably hurtful. Life was never meant to hurt this bad.
Freya: Yeah, really angsty. Please, review! Here's the full lyrics, along with translations.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I want to be loved, but you don't seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I'm scared, even if I'm hurt
I can say "I love you" to the person who I love
Do you love me? Or not love me?
As for things like that, it's already fine either way
No matter how I wish
There are many unchangeable things in this world, right?
That's right, and because only the fact of my loving you
Is the truth unchangeable by anyone
I want to overcome the thousands of nights and tell it to you
There's something that I must tell you
I want to be loved, but you don't seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I'm scared
Even if I'm hurt, I can say "I love you" to the person who I love
It's scary to turn my feelings into words
But I can say "I love you" to the person who I love
In this broad world, I can't express the joy of encountering you with words
So we smile, sing about the vividly passing autumn in do-re-mi
Turn our backs on winter, wait for the sunlight streaming through trees in spring

I found one answer; that even if I'm scared
Even if I'm hurt, I can say "I love you" to the person who I love
Even if those thoughts aren't fulfilled, I can say "I love you" to the person who I love
It's the most wonderful thing in this world
