These are basically two mini-stories in one. Both are songfics.

The first song is My Last Breath by Evanescence.

The second song is Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne.

The Unknown Lovers

Klara's Last Breath

This was it. This was finally the end.

Hold on to me love,

You know I can't stay long,

Through this, I never was given a chance to tell him. The man I had been in love with since the day I met him would never know the truth.

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid,

The day I met him was when I turned sixteen. My father's friend had stopped by with his son, Lucas, to wish me a happy birthday. At first it did not matter to me since I really did not know them that well. However, Lucas had pulled me into a conversation and I was drawn to him.

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?

Time passed, and we became the best of friends. He was so sweet and kind, funny too. I laugh now thinking about some of the silly stunts he preformed to make me laugh. Lucas always hated seeing me upset.

Holding my last breath,

Safe inside myself,

Are all my thoughts of you,

Sweet raptured life,

It ends here tonight,

Eventually, I fell in love with him. But, I was always too scared to tell him how I really felt. What if he only wanted me as a friend?

I'll miss the winter,

A world of fragile things,

Did Lucas feel the same way and was waiting for me to make the first move? I really don't know and I never will.

Look for me in the white forest,

Hiding in a hollow tree

(Come and find me)

Oh how I curse the day I boarded the Titanic. It was called the Ship of Dreams by some, but has turned to be nothing more then a nightmare.

I know you hear me,

I can taste it in your tears,

I honestly never thought anything bad would happen when I boarded this ship. I thought it would be wonderful, especially since Lucas was boarding as well.

Holding my last breath,

Safe inside myself,

Are all my thoughts of you,

Sweet raptured life,

It ends here tonight,

I hate to say Lucas and I never spent much time together on this ship. If I had known I would not live, I probably would have. I wish I could have made it onto one of the life boats. But, it seemed there was not enough for every passenger. I hope Lucas lives though, I don't want him to die.

Closing your eyes to to disappear,

You pray your dreams will leavedyou here,

And still you wake and know the truth,

No one's there,

I closed my eyes. I was lying one my bed in my room. There was no point in leaving since I would die anyway.

Say goodnight,

So many things I regret.

Don't be afraid,

But the thing I regret most is that Lucas will never know the truth.

Calling me,

That was when I took my final breath as a young woman.

Calling me as you fade to black...

And I used it to say, "I love you, Lucas..."

Slipped Away From Lucas

I miss you,

Miss you so bad,

People were screaming as everyone rushed to a life boat. I was one of those people honestly, and God I hate myself for it.

I don't forget you,

Oh it's so sad,

I was young, I was stupid, I was panicking. Hey, most people would if they were about to die. But it was still no excuse.

I hope you can hear me,

'Cause I remember it clearly,

I had managed to get into one of the very few boats available. It was horrible seeing how so many people were about to lose their lives. She was one of them.

The day you slipped away,

Was the day I found it won't be the same,

Oh,

At the time I had not realized it. Klara had not made it into one of the life boats.

I didn't get around to kiss you,

Goodbye on the hand,

Sadly, I realized this after the boat I was on had been let into the icy waters. I cursed at myself. I was such a damn idiot! True she may have been on another boat, but if she was I would not have felt so horrible!

I hope you can hear me,

'Cause I remember it clearly,

I knew there was nothing I could do now. Guilt and regret were all tearing at my heart.

The day you slipped away,

Was the day I found it won't be the same,

Oh,

Why you may ask? Because I loved Klara, that was why.

I had my wake up,

Won't you wake up?

I keep asking why,

She never knew though, she never knew I loved her.

And I can't take it,

It wasn't fake,

It happened you passed by,

I had planned to marry her when we boarded off the Titanic. I may have even proposed while we were still on it, I even had a ring.

Now you're gone now you're gone,

There you go there you go,

Somewhere I can't bring you back,

I gingerly took the ring which happened to be in my pocket. How ironic I had managed to remember the ring but not Klara's safety...

Now you're gone now you're gone,

There you go there you go,

Somewhere you're not coming back,

Some lover I was. I just wanted to run back and at least die with her.

The day you slipped away,

Was the day I found it won't be the same,

Oh,

Klara would not have wanted me to die though.

The day you slipped away,

Was the day I found it won't be the same,

Oh,

I knew I was never going to fall in love again. I could not even if I tried. That was when I took the diamond ring and threw it into the icy water.

I miss you...

"I love you Klara..."
