As a beforehand note, this is kind of AU. You'll see what's so AU about it… LeafxCrow.
Why was she out here again?
I'm taking my time
On the WindClan border.
I'm trying to leave the memories of you behind
He was gone. He had been for almost a year.
I'm going to be fine
Why, then, why was she crying?
As soon as I get your picture right out of my mind
Leafpool watched as the sun set over the hills.
I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you
The light breeze ruffled her fur as she stared at the vast plains. She was supposed to be back at camp. She was a medicine cat.
I want to be the only hand you need to hold on to
She shook her head, standing up.
But every time I call you don't have time
"Why did you die?" She whispered to the wind. It carried her voice away into the deeper forest. Her tail drooped.
I guess I'll never get to call you mine
He was a WindClan warrior, She thought to herself. They couldn't have lived together anyway.
You're nothing at all; I know there's a million reasons
Not only were they of different clans, Leafpool had been a medicine cat.
Why I shouldn't call
She recalled that moment.
With nothing to say could easily make this
She had been right there next to him when he died.
Conversation last all day
It had all happened so fast to her.
I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you
ShadowClan had attacked WindClan. ThunderClan had gotten word and had come to the rescue.
I want to be the only hand, you need to hold on to
Leafpool had raced in to find the tom she loved half-dead in a corner.
But every time I call you don't have time
She had wailed his name and rushed up to him, her tears cleansing his bloody fur. Wounds spilled the crimson liquid that was pooled around him.
I guess I'll never get to call you mine
"Leafpool…you can't help me."
Another lesson I didn't get to learn
"What?! Crowfeather, what are you talking about?!"
You're my obsession
"I'm sorry Leafpool. This can't be helped."
I've got nowhere to turn
"But Crowfeather…us…"
I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you
He had smiled softly at her. "In StarClan, anything is possible."
I want to be the only hand you need to hold on to
"You can't die…." She had pressed her nose to his bloody fur, caring less for the sticky liquid that stained her face.
But every time I call you don't have time
"I've lost too much blood," He had said softly. Leafpool didn't need any proof – it was spilling out from multiple wounds across his pelt and had thickened around her paws.
I guess I'll never get to call you mine
It was as if everything around them had disappeared. The clearing seemed silent, as if there was not a battle raging on around them.
I want to feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you
"Crowfeather…" She had begged to him again, despite him shaking his head. Finally she let a tear drip onto his nose and she whispered, "I love you."
I want to be the only hand you need to hold on to
He smiled and whispered, "I love you too." Then he closed his eyes and his chest stopped rising and falling. It was as if her entire world stopped. She had wailed and sobbed into his cold fur, pleading for him to come back.
But every time I call you don't have time
The battle ended moments later, with ShadowClan retreating. As they fled she looked up and thought she saw a faint dark cat with a set of wide wings smiling at her – an angel.
I guess I'll never get to call you mine
Her angel.
