Without You

Asuka is sitting next to a bed in a white room with sunlight streaming
through the windows. In the backgound, there is a steady beeping noise
that reveals the rythm of a beating heart. Asuka is slumped over on the
stool with her head hung low and eyes closed. Her hair is hanging loose
around her head hiding her face from view. To the passer by, she would
look asleep. Instead, she's simply waiting for someone to wake up.

Without you...
Without you...
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.

-------------------
'Why did you have to do that?' Asuka thinks to herself. 'Why did you
have to make me feel this way?' Slowly, She places a hand on the
sleeping boy's and gives it a gentle squeeze. 'Why can't you just wake
up already? Do you like making me wait? Are you trying to get back at
me for all the pain I've caused you? Lord knows I deserve it.' Asuka
begins to let a few tears fall from her eyes as she thinks of all the
hurt she must have caused him.
-------------------

If I could relive my life
I know what I would change
All the times I made you cry
All my thoughts that caused you pain.
I know "I'm sorry" is not big enough
to tell you how wrong I've been
But I don't know where to start
to live my life without you...
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
Without you...
Without you...

------------------
'It's been three years Shinji. Yeah, I've waited for you that long.
Ever since I saw you burst from the pyramid in the geofront to save me
I've known that I could never wait for anyone else. Oh, god why did you
have to jump in front of that lance? Could you have really cared about
me even after all the mean and terrible things I did to you?'
------------------

As the days go passing by
My feelings stay the same
I have you always on my mind
I'm living constantly in pain
I know I really should be moving on
but the memories won't go away
I have you always in my heart
and when I close my eyes I find you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on (and I can't go on) without you.
Without you...
Without you...

-------------------
'When I think that you may not want to come back, I hurt inside. I want
you to come back. No, I need you to come back. You hear that Shinji, I
need you. I can't bear to think of life without you. But I know that
you wouldn't want me to end it all and waste what you did for me. So
I'll go on waiting for you until you wake up or I die of old age.'
-------------------

You're the one that I love (love, love..)
You're the one that I love (love, love..)
You're the one that I love (love, love..)
You're the one that I love (love, love..)
And I can't go on (and I can't go on) without you.
Without you...
Without you...

----------------
'Well, I'd like to stay Shinji, but I have to go. If I could spend
every waking moment here I would. I'll see you again tomorrow. I hope
you wake up soon.' Asuka gets up from the stool she was sitting on and
walks over to the door to the hospital room. As she reaches the
treshold and gets halfway through, she turns and looks at Shinji laying
there on the bed.
----------------

You're the one that I love (love, love..)
You're the one that I love (love, love..)
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
You're the one that I love
and I can't go on without you.
Without you...
Without you...

---------------------
'I love you, Shinji.' After this, she turns and exits the room
completely closing the door behind her.

If she had stayed but a few moments more, she would have heard a moan
from the sole occupant of the white hospital room. A few moments after
that one word was heard in the room: "Asuka..."

Author's Notes

I wrote this on a whim. I don't really know why, but it just seemed to
fit soooo well with the lyrics and feel of the song. If you liked it,
great, if not, that's fine too.

Oh, one last thing, before anyone tells me that people just don't
change this much this quickly, I know from PERSONAL experience that
people CAN change this quickly and even faster in some cases.

Well, in any case, please R&R, Constructive and helpful comments only.
