Let me hold you, for the last time,

It's the last chance to feel again.

Zuko hates it when Katara cries. He hates it every time her bright blue eyes turns to gray, just like the once blue sky that soon got heavy dark clouds, threatening to rain. But this one right now is a hale. Ha silent storm of frozen rain.

Once they were so happy, Katara and he. Two years after the war they were engaged. And he loved her. But when Mai returned Zuko can't help but love her again. Love Mai more than ever, more than he loves Katara.

But you broke me now I can't feel anything.

When I love you is so untrue,

I can't even convince myself.

When I'm speaking it's a voice of someone else.

"Zuko" came her cry that he really hates to hear. He did not respond but she knows that he is listening.

"Please don't leave me." It was a beg and it pierced Zuko's heart.

It's been four years from now. Two years they were happy and the other two years was rough. A week after the return of Mai, katara already knew that Zuko was going to leave her. But afraid of hurting the girl whose heart got shattered a hundred fold already, he could not have the courage to. He stayed with her. It was already out of pity that they were together, no longer out of love. He told her a lot of ' I love yous' to make her believe in this deceitful kingdom of false love that he made. However, every time he tells he of his love, it is not the boy she sees in front of him that he portrays, but the boy in the past ho really loves his ex-girlfriend.

What tears me up, I try to hold on but it hurts too much.

I try to forgive but it's not enough,
to make it all okay

But this time he could not bear. He is going to do this one for himself. He is going to write his love story were the prince would marry the noble woman, where Zuko would be with Mai. Right now, it condemns him to hear her cry. Instead he just said the word that is lighter but has the same meaning than 'over'.

"I'm sorry" the he walked and sat beside her. And he would hold her one last time before they leave it all behind.

You can't play on strings,

You can't feel anything,

That the heart don't want to feel,

I can't tell you something that ain't real

Zuko cradled her in his arms almost not wanting to let go. He knows that after this, there could no longer be them and because of the pain, they could no longer be friends. Everything would be nothing but ruin.

"Katara, you would be the greatest person in my past and I will never love someone the same way that I love you. I love you so much."

"But your love for Mai is greater." She sobbed more no longer capable of controlling her pain. She hugged him tight not wanting to let go. Zuko tilted her he head and made her look at him and for the last time he kissed her. Passionately. A kiss more warmer and emotional than their other kisses.

But Katara knew that this last kiss is not a kisss of love like the first one they shared. This is a kiss of 'I;m sorry; a kiss that spells goodbye. And it hurts.

Oh the truth hurts but leis worst,

How can I give anymore?

When I love you a little less than before?

And so the kiss ended and the Katara-Zuko magic was no more. And he stood up and gave her one last look, trying to memorize her features as he knows it would wilt in his memory threw time. And so he left and shut the door like he shut his heart for her.

You just can't play with broken strings….

Ummm….this is not a one shot by the way…

Just wait what happens and as I say, I have a paring in mind I just don't want it to be obvious…ahahahah…but keep reading I promise that I would do my best to keep the emotional atmosphere here.

And oh that is not the full song…. Listen to the song it is really nice though. Its just stating a fact that it's really hard to live in a 50-50 relationship.
