Lonely Songs Chapter 1

Dream a Little Pain

Haru walked around the Sohma estate bored. He suddenly heard a beautiful tune and decided to follow it. He reached a garage where he saw a girl in a beautiful dress with long, silver hair playing the piano and another with short blue hair playing the violin in a short summer dress. He stood there and waited for the song to end.

Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again
Your silence makes me hold my breath
Time has passed you by

Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am
Left in silence

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven

I watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away

Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
And here I am
Left in silence

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven

I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence?

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven

The crying silver haired girl who'd sung was looking at the other girl and that's when the blue haired girl turned around and tossed her violin under a shelf. She looked at the crying girl and said, "I'm sory. Be happy." She turned into a bluebird and flew away. The silver haired girl stood up and screamed her name,"MIZU! NO!"

Haru woke up to find himself in his own bed and depressed. He remembered the sad dream and it was really horrible. He pondered on what had happened to the Mizu girl for a brief time before going back to sleep, however, he was woken up minutes later by Momiji. He turned to him and asked, "What, Momiji?" Momiji looked sad and scared so he sighed and gave him a small, comforting hug. Momiji finally spoke up and said, "Haru, I had a bad dream and then I woke up to hear some really sad music. Will you check it out with me?" Haru nodded and got into some half-way decent clothing and followed Momiji out.

The two searched for the tune once more, but found no trace of it until they reached an off-limits garage that was right next to Akito's room. The two looked at each other and continued into the garage where they saw a girl with long silver hair playing the piano. Haru stopped Momiji from walking forward so they could hear the rest of the song.

In my hands
A legacy of memories
I can hear you say my name
I can almost see your smile
Feel the warmth of your embrace
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?

Sweet darling you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are

Never thought
This day would come so soon
We had no time to say goodbye
How can the world just carry on?
I feel so lost when you are not at my side
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?

Sweet darling you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are

So sorry your world is tumbling down
I'll watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child, this is not our farewell.
This is not our farewell.

Haru was amazed by the end and didn't notice Momiji had gone to hug the crying girl. That was when Haru realized that this was the same girl from his dreams he walked up to her and she looked up at him with tear filled eyes and then got up and ran to Akito's room.
