This is just a few drabbles I thought I'd do off of some quotes I have seen. Please review and tell me if you like!
"I play the same song over and over again because it reminds me of you"
-Tumblr
Makos POV
I sat in my bed, he was lonely. It was around 2 in the afternoon and it was raining outside. Korra had just left to go to the Earth Kingdom for some issues with a man and his cabbages. Apparently he was suing the earth king for not getting the guards to protect his cabbages. Crazy right? I missed her, oh god did I miss her. She had only been gone a few hours but it felt like a lifetime. She was only going to be gone for a few days but still, every moment she isn't with me, in my arms, I feel empty. I reached over to turn on the radio, maybe that will take my mind off of things...
"And now for the hit song, 'Let her go' by the passenger!"
I smiled, this was one of Korra's favorite songs. And oddly enough, it kind of went with the mood I was in... The lyrics were pretty much saying how lonely I was without Korra here with me. Although I wasn't letting Korra go forever. Just for a few days.
Well you only need the light when it's burning low.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Only know your over when you let her go.
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low,
Only hate the road when you're missin' home.
Only know your lover when you let her go,
And you let her go.
I smiled and listened to the song, I didn't know why Korra loved it so much but she did. Therefore I would listen to it.
Staring at the bottom of your glass,
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last.
But dreams come slow and they go so fast.
You see her when you close your eyes,
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies.
I started to sing along to the chorus, it was the only part I knew... I didn't really care who heard me. I loved this song too, so why not sing? No one was here to judge me, except maybe Bolin... But he wasn't much better a singer.
But you only need the light when it's burning low.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,
Only know your lover when you let her go.
Only know you've been feeling high when you're low.
Only hate the road when you're missing home.
Only know your lover when you let her go.
"And you let her go!" I sung. But of course in the song they don't say that right there. It gets me every time...
Staring at the ceiling in the dark,
Same old empty feeling in your heart.
'Cause love comes slow and goes so fast.
Well you see her when you fall asleep,
But never to touch and never to keep.
'Cause you loved her too much,
And you dived too deep.
Here comes my part to sing!
Well you only need the light when it's burning low,
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Only know your lover when you let her go!
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low,
Only hate the road when you're missin' home.
Only know you're lover when you let her go.
And you let her go,
Oh, oooh, oooh
And you let her go
Oh, oooh, oooh.
Well you let her go!
Cause you only need light when it's burning low!
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,
Only know your lover when you let her go!
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low!
Only hate the road when you're missing home!
Only know your lover when you let her go!
'Cause you only need the light when its burning low.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Only know your lover when you let her go.
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low.
Only hate the road when you're missing home.
Only know your lover when you let her go.
And you let her go.
"I'm really starting to love this song." I said to no one in particular. I really liked how at the end it stopped for a few seconds, making you think the song is over, and then it says the last line. I hit the 'rewind' button on my radio. Not all radios had this, only a few. It was because they were made by the Sato company, Asami gave Korra and I one for my birthday a few months ago.
As it kept playing, the storm outside got worse and worse. But I didn't realize. I was too busy trying to get the whole song down for when Korra came home. Because sometime during the song Bo came in and I was surprised to hear that he thought I was an amazing singer. He had the idea that I sing to Korra when she comes home.
"Seems romantic enough." I said to him, Korra deserves some romance from me. I am her boyfriend after all. For the rest of the day I tried to memorize the song but kept messing up at that one part. I kept saying 'And you let her go' and the wrong time! And then when I thought I wasn't supposed to say it, I was! I tried and tried but I just couldn't get that part down.
I almost gave up but then I thought of how happy my girlfriend would be if I sung to her. She would probably shower me in kisses. Yeah, I think I'm going to try to get this down.
I practiced for about an hour more with little progress. It just wasn't working with me!
"Ugh! This song will be the death of me." I groaned into my pillow.
I finally got the rest of the lyrics down, but I still kept forgetting that one line, or saying it when I wasn't supposed to.
"Only know your lover when you let her go!" I sang, I was almost guaranteed I wasn't supposed to sing it this time!
"And you let her go." I heard a beautiful voice sing. It hadn't been the voice on the radio, oh no. That was the voice of an amazing, beautiful, powerful Avatar.
I snapped my head in the direction of the door and saw Korra standing there with a smirk on her face.
"K-Korra!" I jumped out of the bed and pulled her in for a hug.
She laughed and hugged back, "Hey City boy."
"Why are you back so soon? I mean don't get me wrong I'm really happy you're back but, I mean, weren't you supposed to be in the Earth Kingdom right now?" I asked, I was so happy she was here.
"Yeah but the storm got to be to bad and Oogi couldn't fly in that weather." She shrugged.
"Storm?" I looked out the window and saw a terrible storm outside. "How the hell did I not notice that?"
"Probably because you were too busy jammin' out to my favorite song." Korra said with a smirk.
I blushed the tiniest bit and leaned down to kiss her, she responded happily and smiled into the kiss. She really was an amazing kisser, when she pulled away I whined and she giggled.
"So why were you learning that song?" She asked me.
"Oh... I... Um, just wanted to sing it to you when you, um, got back." I stuttered.
Korra had a huge grin on her face and jumped into my arms. She covered me with kisses, "That's sooooo sweet of you Mako!"
"Well it was actually Bo's idea." I said, enjoying every kiss she placed on my face. But then she stopped with another smirk on her face.
"Oh, well since it was his idea maybe he should be the one getting these kisses?" She asked, walking through the door.
I grabbed her by the waist, "No!" I yelled a bit to quickly and loudly.
"Jeez, no need to yell." She said, her smirk still on her face.
I blushed and then leaned down to kiss her, she acted like she was going to kiss me back and then right before my lips touched hers she pulled away.
"I wanna hear you sing it!" She said happily, a huge smile on her face.
Oh she did not just do that. I want to kiss her, not sing to her right now! But when she saw me getting ready to reject, she pouted. She knows I can't resist the pout.
I sighed, "Fine. Just for you."
"Yay!" She cheered.
I sat down on the bed and she followed, when I began to sing I looked at her and she looked like a girl waiting to open her presents on Christmas. I rolled my eyes and then looked at the floor, I was a little embarrassed...
Well you only need the light when it's burning low.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Only know your over when you let her go.
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low,
Only hate the road when you're missin' home.
Only know your lover when you let her go,
And you let her go.
I stopped and looked at Korra, she smiled and made a motion with her hands for me to continue.
Staring at the bottom of your glass,
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last.
But dreams come slow and they go so fast.
You see her when you close your eyes,
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies.
I looked at Korra, "Care to sing along?" I asked her. She grinned widely and nodded.
But you only need the light when it's burning low.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,
Only know your lover when you let her go.
Only know you've been feeling high when you're low.
Only hate the road when you're missing home.
Only know your lover when you let her go.
Our voices together were amazing, I couldn't believe my ears. Her voice was like that of an angels and along with mine, it sounded even better. Which I didn't know was possible. Then she stopped and left it up to me, apparently she was only going to help at the chorus.
Staring at the ceiling in the dark,
Same old empty feeling in your heart.
'Cause love comes slow and goes so fast.
Well you see her when you fall asleep,
But never to touch and never to keep.
'Cause you loved her too much,
And you dived too deep.
Korra started to sing with me again, which I loved.
Well you only need the light when it's burning low,
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Only know your lover when you let her go!
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low,
Only hate the road when you're missin' home.
Only know you're lover when you let her go.
And you let her go,
Oh, oooh, oooh
And you let her go
Oh, oooh, oooh.
Well you let her go!
Cause you only need light when it's burning low!
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,
Only know your lover when you let her go!
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low!
Only hate the road when you're missing home!
Only know your lover when you let her go!
We had gotten really close now and we were inches apart from one another, I sang the last part on my own.
'Cause you only need the light when its burning low.
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Only know your lover when you let her go.
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low.
Only hate the road when you're missing home.
Only know your lover when you let her go.
I leaned in to kiss Korra and she leaned in too, but then I did the same thing to her that she did to me. I pulled away and sang the last lyric that she had forgotten about.
And you let her go.
Korra clapped and I stood and bowed.
"Thank you, thank you." I smiled and kissed her.
She smiled into the kiss and then I pulled away, only for air.
"You were amazing too." I whispered.
"I love you City boy."
"I love you too."
