Disclaimer: I don't own Edward Scissorhands or any of the characters. I don't own Dido or any of her songs, either.
Note: I love the song White Flag - And perosnally, I believe the lyrics are perfect for the feelings of Edward towards Kim. He still loves her, and doesn't regret living those precious moments that made and broke their lives. Review please! This is my first fic here, and is from the movie - But is a point of view from Edward.
'I know you think that I shouldn't still love you...'
I walk down the pebble encrusted path. My garden is beautiful in the night light.
'I'll tell you that.'
I clip off some pointy bits from a rabbit hedge. Perfect.
'But if I didn't say it...'
I turn around and make my way back inside my home.
'Well I'd still have felt it.'
I walk up the stairs, the night light shines into my eyes as I turn the corner and come face-to-face withthe hole in the expansive roof above me.
'Where's the sense in that?'
Ice blocks litter the floor - I had used my fathers machine to create these. I walk up to one, and I begin to clip it.
'I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder...'
I remember that faithful night you danced in the shadow of my angel, the ice twinkling around you. At first I hadn't seen it. But you were happy. You and I - We belonged.
'Or return to where we were.'
I sculpt your delecate features, your hair. Your hands. Ice sparks off your carving like flames would do a fire. Out the gaping hole, into the fresh cold air they scatter.
'But I will go down with this ship.'
I finish you off. You look exactly like you did all those years ago. So innocent, so free. I carve a birdbath - Another beautiful thing I've seen whilst I was with you and your family that long time ago. I remember the pose the birds were in still.
'I won't put my hands up, and surrender.'
I carve Kevin and his friend, Max playing a game of football. They look so occupied, they're enjoying themselves. I begin to work on the last ice block.
'There will be no white flag above my door.'
It's a wall - The invisible icy barrier that keeps you from me. I carve away, my hands working busily.
'I'm in love...'
This angers me. I love you, Kim. and always will. EverydayI sit and wait -I wait for you to return. I wait for the moment when I hear your footsteps rushing up those twisted stairs, when our eyes meet, and we understand eachother - I wait for whenwe will be together forever.
'And always will be.'
But I know humans live and age. I know they die eventually. I know you won't come back, but I can still hope. I still love you.
Note: This is a part I'd love to put in, but I want to make the lines 'I always will be' final. If you like it added on, enjoy. If you don't, you don't need to see this as an added part.
'And when we meet, I'm sure we will...'
I will forever be waiting. And hoping.
