ONCE YOU MEET HER
By: SimpLicit1
And no one knows it -
Where she came from, where she's going.
And once you meet her,
You will find that something inside is changing. . .
My eyes open, as the morning light shines. I sit here in hesitation as I watch everything go on around me. Life. That's what's out there...and I guess it'll be that way...forever. I see Edge just below the old abandoned church roof. I feel numb. I feel like I don't recall anything that last night brought.
Had it been that long? Seems like just yesterday...
She's like a rainbow.
When she comes up, all are lit up.
And when she whispers,
You will hear this: 'Don't chase after rainbows.'
I take in a deep breath, as I step off of the roof and I find my way towards the church entrance. It brings back memories, you know. Nothing changes, and I managed to somehow find it interesting to take care of what reminds me of you. It was the first time I met you, Aeris Gainsborough.
I think about you. I remembered how you were always so bright and energetic. Sometimes I thought that you were always happy, not with a single doubt in your mind.. But I knew that there's things that bothered you. But it seems like a faint whisper...a silent memory...
High on a hill, there's a green meadow.
All around, it's breezin',
She's smilin',
She'll let them sing angel songs.
What was there for anyone to do? I know you don't regret it one bit. But I can't help but feel I'm being too selfish for my own good. What would I do if I did see you again?
She's like a fairy
When she's trembling, when she's dancing.
Just see her rambling.
How it's nice to follow her to the end.
I remember you, Aeris. And I always will.
You want some meanings of the life,
And go to see her.
Don't ask her too much.
Oh yes, she'll be out of your sight
Right over.
Since the day I met you...you were different. Maybe that's what brought me close to you. I wanted to meet you...as well. You saw me. You made me feel simple and clean. But mostly, you made my past seem to drain away every time you talked. I forgot it all when I was with you...
Everyone is sad and blue when she is far away.
Don't you know it's time to pray she'll be coming soon?
And you think you hear her voice ringing from above.
The Promised Land, yeah that's right. Someday, we will all see you again...Thank you. For forgiving me.
And no one knows it -
Where she came from, where she's going.
And once you meet her,
Maybe you'll stay forever young.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: there's more to come. I originally wrote this years ago, but thought I'd pick up where I left off and finish. I re-uploaded this first intro, and the next chapter is already posted.
