A/N: this is my first songfic, plz don't flame, I know I suck at it, but I had to try

"There's a song that inside of my soul.

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again."

She was perfect. Absolutely perfect. She had been right in front of his face, for his entire life and he had never taken notice until now.

"I'm awake in

the infinite cold, but you sing to me over and over and over again."

She made him feel different, like he was someone special. She made him change, change into a person who he never thought he wanted to or would become.

"So I lay my head back down,

and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours.

I know now you're my

only hope."

She had taken him in, always nice, always cheerful. Even when he was a bastard, even when he was egotistical, caring only for himself and his reputation, she had cared.

"Sing to me the song of the stars.

Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again."

His world and her world had seemed so different, so far away, that nothing could bring them together.

"When it feels like my dreams are

so far, sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

So I lay my head back down,

and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours.

I know now you're my

only hope."

He never imagined that the unimaginable would happen that he would fall in love with her. But he did, and he loved it. The feeling was indescribable, the joy, the happiness, the delight, the sheer bliss of it all.

"I give you my destiny.

I'm giving you all of me.

I want your symphony.

Singing in all that I am.

At the top of my lungs

I'm giving it back.

So I lay my head back down,

and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours.

I pray to be only yours."

But his world came crashing down when she told him. Told him the worst news conceivable. That she was sick, that there was nothing he could do. He hated the world, for hurting him, for hurting her.

"I know now you're my

only hope."

Now she was gone, and all he had was the memories, of the times they spent. Times talking and walking, times spent so carelessly, without knowing of what fate had in store. Times that he cherished and held forever, times with her.
