1AN: I'm jumping on the Gravedigger bandwagon. All of a sudden there are a lot of gravedigger stories popping up and since I missed the last one I figured I would join this one.
This is different than my other songfics so please give it a chance
Inspired by the song "A year ago today" by Delta Goodrem. The full song lyrics are at the bottom.
Dear Jack,
You know me I'm not much of a writer, I prefer paint, but that won't help me now. It was a year ago today since the Gravedigger took both you and Bren. I know it's wrong but sometimes I wish the Gravedigger only took Bren and never got you. Then again maybe it's not, because if he didn't take both of you maybe we would have found Bren before the explosion that took your lives. It's kinda ironic that it was your last attempt of freedom that really cost you your life. I like to think I'm a little bit stronger and a little bit wiser from losing you. I have to be stronger because I lost you and I'm wiser because I know better than to leave things unsaid.
Looking back I was so much younger than, well not younger but more naive. I thought I had forever to be with you, but a year ago today you were taken from me. I still think about it often, it's not something you forget losing both your best friend and potential boyfriend on the same day. I hate to admit that the tears I cried are no longer running, I cried myself dry. I can't understand it, I probably never will. You went away a year ago today. I know I've questioned myself often and I'm sure everyone else has too about what more we could have done. I fooled myself so much before over you. First thinking we could never be and then that I had forever to figure myself out.
I'll say it to myself and I'll say it again, my love for you will never end. And Jack, Even though we are so far apart, you'll forever be in my heart. I'm a little bit stronger because of you. I know on this anniversary you are watching over me.
I love you, I'm sorry I never got to tell you in person.
XOXO
Angela
Another year older /A little bit stronger/A little bit wiser than/A year ago today
Looking over my shoulder /I was so much younger then/Oh I can't believe what happened /A year ago today
And I just can't forget about it /It wouldn't mean a thing/You went away /A year ago today
Another year gone by /Oh the tears have run dry/Life seemed so unkind/A year ago today
And I just can't understand it /I don't think I ever will/You went away/A year ago today
And how many times have I questioned myself /What more could I do/And how many times have I fooled myself /Over you oh
You've gotta pick yourself up,/Take another look/And dust yourself off cause life's too good,/I'll say it to myself and I'll say it again /Love will never end
And though we're so far apart /You're forever in my heart
Another year older /A little bit stronger/On this anniversary/You're watching over me
You went away /A year ago today
You went away /A year ago today
