A/N: Okay. I need to stop remembering bookverse Gelphie. It's way to sad...
If you like this, let me know, 'kay? Just got inspired hearing the Glee version of this beautiful Les Miz song.
When you are a kid, you think life will always be nice with you. You think love is above everything. And that you'll be happy forever.
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
"I love you, Elphie" I remember saying, so many times. Mainly when we would be cuddling at night in Shiz.
She would caress my face and kiss my forehead, softly whispering how much she loved me too.
I would feel safe.
I would be home.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
Then, life starts breaking your dreams. I'll never forget that day in the Emerald City. Everything seemed so perfect and then...
"Hold out, my sweet. Hold out, if you can" that was the last time she kissed me.
And suddenly...she was gone. How was that even possible? It was like she had never existed. I cried, hard. Through the whole trip back, I kept crying.
Maybe she really was souless.
She slept a summer by my side
She filled my days with endless wonder
She took my childhood in her stride
But she was gone when autumn came
I remember when I first got to Shiz after that. I hugged Nessarose, under her protests. Then, I told her. She didn't seem to care that much, she just felt abandoned because Elphaba didn't care about her.
It wasn't like my pain, not at all.
I got...empty. It was when I started changing. I would never be the same after that, I knew it.
And still I dream she'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I dreamed about her everynight. I was happy in my sleep and I could almost feel her body nuzzling against mine. Then, when I woke up...the space by my side would be empty.
Then, it comes that time when you simply start to pretend your moving on. Not for the others, but for your own sake. So, that's what I did.
And I did all I could to take care of Nessa, she was all that was left of Elphaba, after all.
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
The years gone by. And I kept pretending, but I always remembered her. I got to see her one last time, I'll admit, I let my hopes go up when I saw her, but she got so angry at me. It was only then that I really realized...she wasn't my Elphie and I wasn't her sweet anymore. We were on opposite sides. She was the Wicked Witch now. Elphaba was gone. I had to deal with it.
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Then...there was that night. I woke up all of sudden and I just knew it.
She was gone.
And so were my dreams.
