It's Silver's (manga) Birthday! Yay!
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
Late night, or early dawn. Whatever it was, Silver was awake. His eyes watched the stars. How could something so far away be so bright?
He smiled. Even if the stars were far, he could see them. So that meant, that she could see them too.
Even if they weren't together, at least they could both see the stars.
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here
It was later in the day that Lyra's mom woke Lyra up. She had been sleeping on the porch, gazing up at the stars. She had been dreaming. Dreaming of him.
Silver.
When was the last time they had talked? The last time they had battled? The last time they had hugged?
"Silver…. I wish you were here."
I'll watch the night turn light blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
He could see his own breaths as he breathed out, the night changing from dark to a brighter color.
"Happy birthday to me." He whispered.
He wished he was holding her hand.
The silence isn't so bad
'Till I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
It was silent as Lyra walked down the path. Her hands, clasping and unclasping, looked as if they were desperate for another's.
She wished she could hold his hand.
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
Rubbing sleep from his eyes, Silver began walking. The coldness of early morning was melting away into a winter warmness of the day. He shivered slightly, as if something was creeping up on him.
Or someone.
He turned around. Only Pokemon but,
He had wished it were her.
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist deep in thought because when
I think of you I don't feel so alone
She had been walking the whole day, yet she couldn't find him. Sighing, she flew back home and sat down on her porch. The afternoon was starting to set in. She pulled herself into a ball.
She had really wanted to see him today. Not only that, but she needed to see him. Needed to say something to him. But, she couldn't find him. Johto was a big place.
Her thoughts drifted to him. A small smile appeared on her face. She remembered how stubborn he could be. She remembered his hair and those eyes that held her for seconds too long.
She got up. If he could be stubborn, so could she.
I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
When he thought of her, he felt something slowly lift him. But then he would look around and notice she wasn't there. He was alone. All alone.
He shook his head violently. No. Today he wouldn't be alone. He got up.
He was going to find her today, on his birthday, definitely.
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
Lyra blinked. The sky had turned dark once more and she was practically running in the dark.
Today. She had to find him before the day ended. She had to.
She had to.
I'll think of you tonight
Silver ran. He had to find her, today.
He had to.
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
His breaths hard, he practically threw himself on the ground. Gasping for air, he looked around. He had practically ran from town to town, not wanting to risk flying in case of missing her. But in the end he couldn't find her.
"Damn. Damn. Damn it all!" he yelled. He pounded the ground in front of him out of frustration.
"Damn."
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear:
"Oh darling, I wish you were here."
"Silver?"
Silver looked up. His eyes widened.
"Lyra."
"Silver it's really you!"
Lyra ran her arms outstretched and tackled him. They fell onto the soft grass.
"It's you! It's you! It's really you!"
Silver stayed there frozen before gently returning the hug.
"Yeah, it's me."
Lyra pulled back, her face close to Silver's, both of them on the ground.
"Lyra, I-I missed yo-" Her mouth cut off the word he was about to speak.
"Silver." She said, after she had kissed him. She grinned.
"Merry Happy Birthday Christmas Eve!" She yelled, a few tears falling from her face.
Silver blinked, then smiled. He slowly pulled himself up. Leaning close to Lyra he said,
"And a Happy New Year." Before kissing her once more.
I started writing this at around 10 a.m. Lost inspiration. And ended up finishing this now. So…yeah.
