Hey guys,
Since today was July 9th, I was listening to Taylor Swift's awesome song Last Kiss. That song just gives you the feels, you can just feel her pain. :'(
Also, I changed some of the lyrics so it would fit better :)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Percy Jackson (soon, very soon though, if my plan works...) and I don't own Taylor Swift's awesome song, :(
Annabeth's POV:
I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
I lifted my face and looked out the window, tears streaming down my face. I remembered it all too clearly. We were closing the Doors of Death and Percy just had to play the hero and be the one closing it from the side in Tartarus.
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
I was the one closing it from the other side. Percy was making it hard for me to just let him stay in Tartarus. I was pleading and crying for him to stay. What broke me was when he looked at me with his beautiful sea-green eyes, showing sadness underneath the surface, he said, "I love you."
You told me you loved me
So why did you go away?
Go away
He said he loved me! Shouldn't I be enough for him to stay with me, with his friends, and with his family! I remembered his pained expression when I kept on telling him to stay with me.
I do recall now the smell of your hair
Fresh from the showers
I ran off the ship
I remember seeing Percy after what seemed like eternity. He looked confident, but then that changed when he saw me. I ran off the Argo, and jumped into his arms, since I had been missing him like crazy.
That July 9th
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms
I just took in all of Percy, him just hugging me. His heartbeat settled me down, he would always be able to make me calm.
But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss
But now, Percy's gone, alone and maybe dead in Tartarus. I just sat in my room, wearing his clothes, not wanting to let go of him yet. I hid my face, and started to cry again. I still don't know why I wasn't enough for him to stay with me.
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Right before we close the Doors, I kissed him one last time, just wanting to live in that moment for the rest of eternity. But, he pulled away, and I was getting desperate, I didn't want to lose him. I jumped onto him, not letting go. Percy just comforted me for a bit, saying, "Don't worry, it's going to be alright in the end." Jason had to pull me away from Percy, I fought against him, but then Percy said, "Annabeth, I'm doing this for you."
I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did
He would always walk with confidence everywhere he went, always being the one to cheer everyone up. Percy would be the one reason I would do anything, if he wasn't there, I wouldn't want to go.
Because I love your handshake, meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
When he met my dad, he was polite, he shook my dad's hand and he was just so polite to him.
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
Whenever I would go on and on about architecture he would start to zone out, but sometimes, he just kisses me suddenly, reminding me to come back to reality.
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
Sometimes nowadays, I would remember all of our times, always tearing up since I wouldn't be able to laugh at them with Percy. I would always wonder if he was thinking of me.
Of course he would.
And I keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
I would always ask my friends, "How's Percy?" and then I would remember that Percy was gone... I just hope he's hanging on, thinking about nicer times.
And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind
I just hope that when he's thinking about better times, he thinks about why he should've stayed. I always thought that I was enough for him to stay.
Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last...
The moment before the Doors closed, we both said each other's names, so we could then remember the other better. I had taken in his messy black hair, and his sea-green eyes. Gosh, they were the most beautiful thing, and that was the last time I saw them.
I just cried once more, thinking that I lost the love of my life. I thought we were going to be forever and always.
How was that? I started to get teary eyed when I was writing it. It's not the best writing, so it might not get you teared up...
Listen to Last Kiss by Taylor Swift, and you will hear the pain in her voice and you will see how perfect this is for Percabeth...
Peace Out
