Title: I Will Always Love You
Summary: It's impossible to summarize a song...but just to let you know, it's a Cleon/Kel fic, if that clarifies anything.
Rating: G
Disclaimers: * I need to have a word with Tammy...* sorry, but I don't own any of these characters, but the song is my own, and THANK GOD IT DOESN'T RHYME!

From the moment I saw you
Hair flying
Like the Tortallan flag
You were as beautiful as any
A wild creature with a life of your own...
I believed...

I will...
I love
I will...
Nothing can stop
I will...
Stop me from
I will always love you...

From the moment I knew I loved you
It was secret and no one but I could ever know
But now I'm telling you
Telling you, with all my heart
And I will not hesitate
To say just this...

I will...
I love
I will...
Nothing can stop
I will...
Stop me from
I will always love you...
Loving you
You

Have you ever felt this way before?
Have you ever known what it's like not caring?
Have you ever felt like the world could fall away
Leaving you anywhere but here?

I will tell you
And tell you again
Could you ever understand
What makes me feel this way?

I will...
I love
I will...
Nothing can stop
I will...
Stop me from
I will always love you
Loving you
You

Only you...

With a sigh, Cleon tucked his harp back into a small, wooden chest at the foot of his bed, pausing only to glance at a picture. A picture...he lay back, memories of a girl he'd once known flooding his mind. If only...but that was years past. Years since he had last known what it was like to love someone, with such intensity as he had only reserved for her. And what was her name? If only he could remember. Alone in the lonely, cavernous hut in the woods he called his home, tears began to fill his brown eyes, clouding his already failing vision. He was too old to know what it was like to live, to love...letting out the last of his breath, he fell asleep, never to wake. And her name was Keladry.
