Authors Note: This story takes place much after the war is won. I do not own the song "I will remember you." Sarah McLachlan does. Thank you to her for allowing me to use this song. I also do not own the Animorphs. The almighty K.A. Applegate does. Kudos to her. This is only my second fanfic and my first songfic so cut my some slack. Thanx -Mel

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I held the bags. One in each hand.
Rachel stood in front on me. Gold hair shining in the bright sunshine.
Beautiful blue eyes the color of the sea.
Lips that almost begged to be kissed.

Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one

The skin around her eyes is almost red today.
She's been crying.
She smiles though, as if its a new day.
And I'm not leaving.

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

She looks into my eyes.
Then she reaches for me.
Her arms wrap around me.
And slowly my arms are around her.

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard

It feels so natural.
Standing here with her in my arms.
Arms not wings.
Her hair brushes against my face and I smile.

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

She pulls away.
Wipes her eyes and says,
"I guess this is it."
I smile grimly.

I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

She looks at the airport gate.
"Lets do it" she says smiling.
The memories flood back.
All from our days as the Animorphs.
When we saved the world.

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I pull her close again.
Feeling her heart beating, lungs breathing.
I already miss her.
Even though I'm standing here with her in my arms.

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories

"Will you remember me?" she whispers in my ear.
"Yes, forever and always."
I grab my bags and leave towards the gate.
The gate taking me away.
Away from all I need.
All I love.
