VIVA FOREVER
The song belongs to the Spice girls, Candy to its creators.
Candy sat next to the grave and placed the banquet of roses one by one onto the grave top. Tears stung her eyes as the roses fell into place one by one. A bittersweet smile around her lips as she ran her fingers across the engraved name. Anthony…
[Do you still remember, how we used to be]
[Feeling together, believe in whatever]
[My love has said to me]
"When we grow up, I'll marry you Candy." He said then kissed her on her cheek and rushed off to see what Aunt Elroy wanted from him.
"I'm grown-up now Anthony. But you aren't going to marry me now." She thought, as she stood in front of the bushes of the Sweet Candys just like that day.
[Both of us were dreamers, Young love in the sun]
[Felt like my savior, My spirit I gave you]
[We'd only just begun]
She turned around and walked out through Anthony's rose gate towards the lake.
[Hasta Manana, Always be mine]
[Viva Forever, I'll be waiting]
[Everlasting, Like the sun]
[Live forever, for the moment]
[Ever searching, for the world]
"Ride with me Candy." He said. They rode for hours and hours through the night. The moon shining on their solitary path, the wind whispering as it passed through her hair, the lake beside them shimmering endlessly.
"I wish this night would never end, I wish it would keep going."
[Yes I still remember, every whispered word]
[The touch of your skin, giving life from within]
[Like a love song that I've heard]
"Candy… I think I know who your prince is."
"Oh that really doesn't matter any more Anthony. I've got you."
"No, I want to tell you…when I was younger there was always this man near by… oh a fox! Let me be the first to catch one for you!"
His horse galloped towards the horse, it stopped and neighed… and then… he fell.
[Slipping through our fingers, like the sands of time]
[Promises made, every memory saved]
[Has reflections in my mind]
"I wish there were such things as ghosts Anthony. Then at least you'd be there with me in spirit." Said Candy as she stood near the river. The wind began to blow and strands of hair fell onto her cheeks.
[Hasta manana, always be mine]
[Viva Forever, I'll be waiting]
[Everlasting, Like the sun]
[Live Forever, For the moment]
[Ever searching, for the world]
"But I am here Candy, I'm always here; watching over you. Waiting for you, till the end of time, beyond eternity…"
whispered the wind as it blew through the trees."Anthony?"
[But we're all alone, was it just a dream]
[Feelings untold, They will never be sold]
[And the secrets safe with me]
With one last look at the mansion Candy turned away and walked towards the car standing, waiting outside for her. The sun shone against the diamond ring on her finger and reflected through a window on the second floor.
The silhouette of a young boy appeared and for a moment his blue eyes sparkle in the reflected rays of the engagement ring. Then he floats back into the shadows, smiling.
"I'll be waiting Candy, till the end of time."
[Hasta Manana, always be mine]
[Viva Forever, I'll be waiting]
[Everlasting, Like the sun]
[Live forever, for the moment]
[Ever searching, for the world]
