So nice to see your face again
Tell me how long has it been
Since you've been here
(since you've been here)
You look so different than before
But still the person I adore
Frozen with fear
I'm out of love but I'll take it from the past
I'll let out words cause I'm sure It'll never last
I always wondered what my life would be like if certain events in my life had gone differently or had never happened. Thinking about a brand new place, somewhere I've never been, and people who I don't know, boggled my mind. Everything happens for a reason right? Having been on and off the island has made me go through some interesting events I've ever had in my life. Plenty of good and bad have been passed around. I was a leader and a follower. And now I'm just Jack.
And I've been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before
Sitting by the fire, I take a look around and see the others around me. They're just as confused as I am. This man who has taken over Locke says he's going to get them off the island once and for all. I don't know what to believe anymore, but I do know I cannot trust this man, thing, whatever he is. This island has played too many tricks and I don't want to play anymore.
Maybe it's the bitter wind
A chill from the Pacific rim
That brought you this way
(that brought you my way)
Do not make me think of him
The way he touch your fragile skin
That hunts me everyday
I'm out of love but I can't forget the past
I'm out of words but I'm sure it'll never last
I look around to find Kate, no where in site. I look at Sawyer and he nods his head toward the beach, I nod back thanks. I know he's still upset about Juliet, and I don't blame him. I would want to kill the man who killed my love too. When we first reached Locke's camp, I was glad to see Kate was okay. After that she had lingered away into the crowd. Locke wanted to talk to me, but was held off until later.
Walking the same path that Kate did, I led myself to the beach. From afar I saw her torch sticking out from the sand, as she was standing at the shore, sinking. Before approaching her, I stood by myself, and thought about what I had tried to do. I tried to erase everything about her away, to never be seen or heard of again. What were the chances that we would have bumped into each other if everything had gone on as planned? I was that miserable with myself that I took that chance. Having seen that what Faraday had said, not work, I saw my true reason for being on this island, and she was standing right in front of me.
And I've been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before
Like I never been gotten before
I let the worst get to me and win. But now, with this chance to truly make it right, I'm going to go with my heart. I don't want to live a life where I don't know her. I don't want to live a life where I don't know anyone I've encountered on this island, well almost everyone. I slowly make my way towards the beach, I hope she doesn't try and shoot me again.
Slowly, I take my stance next to her. I slip my hand into hers and hold it ever so gently, I don't want to let her go. I turn to look at her and see the moonlight radiating off her beauty. She's looking straight out into the ocean, and I can tell she had been crying. I look straight out into the ocean as well. We've seen this many times and it hasn't changed. Just like my love for her.
"I love you." I say looking at her again.
"I love you too." She answers.
This was it. This was our ending.
So nice to see you face again And I've been saving
But tell me will this ever end?
Don't disappear
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before
Like I never been gotten before
