AN: I don't know how many of you have been waiting for another song-fic of mine, but here it is!
You're leaving now…
It's in your eyes…
There's no disguising it…
It really comes as no surprise, to find that you've planned it all along…

It was only a couple minutes ago, when she was taken out of my life by my own hands. I can't believe she's really gone. I let the tears flow, knowing the horrible deed I had done.
My friends try to comfort me with words that mean little, but I know she's out there, somewhere, watching me.
"Hey, Tails, are you going to be okay?" Chris asks me. What a question; am I going to be okay?
I look out to the spot that she last was, only being a quasar of light now. It really feels like she's still there, in that light source.
I look back to Chris, unsure of how to answer him. Sitting in my chair, with the controls in front of me, I see now how fast this had come and past. She had been with us for a couple months perhaps, but I loved her so much in that time.
Maybe fate was meant to be this way, so insincere; so lying. Maybe I've been misled. What do I follow now?
"You can talk to me about it if you need to, buddy." Sonic assured me. He patted me on the shoulder and all the memories came flooding back. All the times that we had saved the day; all the times that we had accomplished the impossible. I remember the day that Cosmo crashed on our little planet coincidentally, and all the good times I had with her come shining through.
She may have left now, but her essence will always remain in my heart. It's clear as crystal now. I see how everything was meant to be. Fate wanted her to meet us. Fate wanted me to fall in love with her, and fate took her away from me.
It's all part of this elaborate plan, and I'm about to break it. I'm going to defy what fate has left me to.
I smile at Chris. It was a weak smile, barely even noticeable through all my tears, but it was a smile. "I'll be fine Chris." I heard a gasp around the room. They were probably surprised by this act of mine. "I'll be able to fly the ship home."
I smirk on the inside, knowing that there is a possibility that fate wanted me to defy what I thought it wanted for me. If that's so, then fate is still winning, but for now, I turn the other cheek from fate.
Now, I'm sure life will eventually become normal, even after this tragedy. It will pass, just as surely as the sun crossing the sky. There will be peaks in its misery, but it will always die down later.
I'm ready to face whatever life has left for me.
Whether I'm right; whether I'm wrong…
Maybe it'll affect me more; maybe it'll affect me less…
Perhaps my friends will become depressed; perhaps this will just pass over them…
Maybe it'll kill me; maybe it'll save me…
What if I look insensitive? What if nothing goes back to normal?
What if this misery keeps on coming? What if it shines through as prosperity instead?
Will I stay with my friends, or will I eventually desert them?
Will I forever cry, letting my eyes become starry and grey, or will I create a new found grace?
Nothing is certain in the world that we live in. Nothing is set in stone until it happens. The future is just a slate, waiting for us to chisel our own destiny into it.
Only one thing is certain in my life.
Only time will tell…
"Hey, Sonic?"
"Yeah, Tails?"
"Let's go home."

Only time will tell…
One thing is sure… that time will tell…
Only time will tell…
If you were wrong…
