The best thing I have

by hearts 3721

It's Tina's 11th birthday and Lefou doesn't know what to get her. She goes to school and doesn't tell Lefou what she wants. When Tina comes home it's the most heartwarming thing yet. Sequel to heartbreak comes In all forms.

"Goodbye Lefou! Have a good day!" Tina said walking to the bus stop. Today was her 11th birthday and Lefou never found out what she wanted as a present.

"Wait! What do you want for your birthday? Just name it and I'll get it."

"The thing I want I already have. Bye Lefou!" Tina said running to the bus.

Lefou leaned up against the window and started singing.

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness

And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm losing her forever

And without really entering her world

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling

And a sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go

Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't

And why, I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

"She never told me what she wanted. What does she mean she has it already?"

When Tina got home from school, Lefou was standing at the door. "Hi sweetie! How was school!"

"It was great! I had a good day." Tina said.

"That's nice sweetie but um I didn't know what you wanted for your birthday." Lefou said.

"I said I already have it. I get want I want everyday. My wish is to be with you." Tina said.

"Really?" Lefou said.

"Yeah but I wish dad was here." Tina said.

"We all wish he was." Lefou said with a twinkle in his eye.

"But I'm glad I have you here with me." Tina said smiling at him.
