I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, a robin hood bbc fanfic

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Robin's breathing was ragged as he ran through the woods, plagued by memories that really couldn't be buried. Every time he closed his eyes, Marian appeared, haunting his dreams. He hadn't treasured her enough, hadn't showed her how much he loved her. He hadn't listened, and maybe that had contributed to her death.

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

He was Robin Hood. He wasn't supposed to be this broken down wreck of a man, he was supposed to be a symbol of hope, the helper of the poor. One of the few who dared to fight against the might of the Sheriff, Gisbourne and Prince John. And yet when he slept, which was not often, he dreamed of her. And he couldn't do the two things together.

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if its me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

Another memory, appearing behind his eyes. Another feeling of guilt. He had rarely seen her sleep, had no clue what was in her dreams. He almost felt as though he did not know her, and yet in another way he knew her so well. He should have listened, been there for her.

And he missed her. More than anything else, he missed her. Their crazy arguments, their mad plans, and the way they always had each other's backs, if sometimes unintentionally.

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

He would miss so much. Marriage, and then inevitably children. All things that he could never have, all because he had allowed her to put herself in danger. And for what? Some information!

That was it. He had given everything now. Everything. He even gave the life of the woman he loved. And he was just so tired…

A.N. Who said it had to be original!?
Really love the song, and something in the lyrics just made me think of that episode, and Robin and Marian…cries.
So go on, tell me how awful it was. In a review, preferably.
