Long ago
Just like the hearse, you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Ara was, admittedly, sick. She first realized this when she felt more irritable and more tired. Then came the pain.
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
A month before seeing the doctor, she felt like her end was near.
She broke up with her boyfriend, Ciel, who understood what she was going through.
Although he'd never leave her.
She dropped out of school, she stopped volunteering at her local shelter.
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
So Ciel stayed with Ara, being her light in his darkness.
Then came the coldness.
Ara felt cold every day and every night.
"Ciel," She cried clinging on to the white and blue haired man. "Why did you stay?"
"Because I love you. And if you die, I'm coming with you."
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
Ara then started coughing blood up, her face getting paler with every cough, when she heard a knock on the door.
"ARA! Girl, I know you're there!" Her friend, Elesis pounded on the door.
"It smells like sickness. Ara, are you ok?" Eve asked from beside Elesis.
Ara coughed hard, but gestured to Ciel to let them in.
He opened the door to let Ara's friends in.
Looking at Ara's apperance, the girls gasped.
"ARA! What's wrong?!" Elesis yelled. "It wasn't because of this bastard, is it?!" She jerked her thumb in Ciel's direction.
"We heard you dropped out of school, and since your this sick...It must be true." Eve got a handkerchief to dab at her eyes.
"I've been sick since I was a child...I'm sorry I didn't tell you all..."
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
"Ara, it's fine! Will you be alright with Ciel?" Elesis asked.
"Y-yeah, I'll be fine. Please, don't tell the other's about this. I can't take their pity."
The girls left, and Ara started crying. "I won't be alright. I WON'T be alright!"
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
In the middle of the night, Ara started screaming and held her head, the loud shrieks waking Ciel up.
"Ara! Ara! Honey, wake up! Please, wake up!"
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Ciel drove Ara to the hospital, cradling her as he checked in the hospital.
He sat in the reception room, running his hand through his hair anxiously.
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend
To leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide.
When the doctor came out, Ciel ran right over to him.
"What's wrong with Ara?" He asked.
"What WAS wrong with her...We couldn't find out before she...Died."
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Ciel ran out of the hospital, with tears in his eyes.
"I told you, Ara. If you die..." He took a knife out and put it to his heart. "I'll die with you."
December 28th, both Ara and Ciel died.
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight.
