Larten Crepsley sat on a park bench. The moon was rising behind him but its normal beauty seems nothing to him anymore. Not after he had left Vampire Mountain. Not after he'd left her. The best thing that had happened to him in his whole life. Arra sails. He'd let her slip through his grasp and for no particular reason at all except his own selfish needs. He could picture her face now and only imagine the pain he had caused her. Was she thinking about him? Or had she moved on. All he could say was he loved her more that his own life. Leaving her was a grave mistake. One which would haunt him for all eternity.
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
Silent tears fell onto her lap. She laughed despite her pain. The fierce Arra Sails was now weeping over something she would have normally found silly if it didn't hurt so much. Larten Crepsley had left her. Without so much as a goodbye. He was gone and that hurt. It hurt so much…. And despite her feminist ways she needed him. More than he would ever know. Right now she needed him. More than anything else she needed to see his ridiculous coloured hair. Hear his velvety deep voice. Feel his hand in hers….
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Larten downed another beer in an attempt to drown out his sorrows. To make himself feel less guilty. He thought it had been the right choice, leaving the mountain, but now he wasn't too sure. "Arra I'm sorry…." He whispered to know-one. But it was too late for sorry. He'd gone and he'd hurt her. The woman he didn't realise he loved so much until now. Until it was too late. Until she was gone.
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Arra recalled the famous quote 'better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'. But was it true? Was loving someone really worth all the pain at the end? Her tears had stopped and were replaced with anger. Anger towards the man who had promised so many things. He promised they would be together forever. But now she was the one all alone. She couldn't bring herself to truly hate him. No, deep down inside she still loved Larten Crepsley. But for now she hated him. Hated him for the fact that he had abandoned her.
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
just need you now
Ooo, baby, I need you now
