The Way She Loved Me

by Finn's Evanjelin

A heartfelt musing from Jace's point of view if he had lived and Valentine had killed Clary. Thank you Shannon for your inspiration.

Desperately waiting for her to arrive

Longing for strength that I lack

Tears fill my eyes when I realize she's gone

I know that I can't bring her back

She use to make it so easy to love her

She use to make me shine

So stay if you will and I'll show you

The way she loved me for a time

Empty, I lie on the bed we would have made

But now I can't get to sleep

She had a way of wearing my clothes

And made them look better than me

She had a heart that could light up the ocean

She told me she was mine

So lend me an ear and I'll tell you

The way she loved me for a time

I long to hold her

I want her here to see

How I ache for her next to me

Desperate I wait for the day that I see her

Hold her deep inside

The most perfect love I wanted to be her

From the moment she caught my eye

I light a candle for her every year

Pour a glass for mine

I will remember so clearly

The way she loved me for a time
