Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Yami smirked as he looked at his photo album. A book that he hadn't looked at in a long time.
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's Head?
He flipped the pages until it landed on a photo with Joey, Yugi, Tristan, himself and her.
This is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
The background was Burger World, which is now destroyed. Tristan and Joey were together, giving each other bunny ears and sticking out the tongue. Téa was in between Yami and Yugi, raising their hands in the air while Yami held up the Dark Magician with his free hand and Yugi holding the Dark Magician Girl in his free hand. The three of them smiling at the camera.
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneakin' out
Yami took interest at what Téa had worn on that day. A blue skirt and a black belly shirt; both showing off her curves. He placed his finger on her body and slowly moved it down, licking his lips.
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
He flipped the page and saw a picture of the group again, sitting on the foot steps of the school in their uniforms. Tristan had Joey in a held lock, they were standing up. Sitting on the second foot steps were Yami, Yugi and Téa; Yami's right arm around Téa's waist and he was showing a thumbs up with his left hand. Yugi was sitting behind Téa and Yami, on the third steps and his head was between Yami and Téa with his hands on their shoulders, sticking out the tongue.
Criminal record says I broke twice
I must've done it half a dozen times
Awhile back after that photo, Yami had gone to a different group, who smoked and didn't listen to the law. He forgot about the rest of his friends and hung out with the new group. But one night, one of the gang members said he spotted a cutie walking down the alley and they decided to rape her. But when Yami saw that the girl was Téa, he stopped and told them to leave her alone. After hearing that, they jumped him and left him.
'Yami, are you alright?' she had asked right after the gang was gone. He was too weak to stand but smiled weakly at her. 'Yeah, I'll live.'
'Thank you so much Yami.'
'For what? You're my friend and I would never let anyone hurt you.'
'Thank you.'
I wonder if it's late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in oh oh oh
Oh God I…
The gang had let him back in after hearing that he had saved Téa but then, his crush for her began again and just walking by Téa made him to frown since he knew that they couldn't be together, so he left again.
Every memory of lookin' out the back door
I got the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Slamming the book down, he left the room and grabbed his jacket that was in the living room closet. He opened the front door and walked out with him closing the door but soon it was a mistake when he heard her voice.
"Yami?"
Every memory of walkin' out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin' for
Goodbye, goodbye
He turned around and to meet her blue eyes who were just looking at him from his lawn. "Téa?"
They continued to stare at each other, not noticing that Yami was walking to her until they were just a foot away.
He cleared his voice and asked. "How have you been?"
"Good. You?"
"Good."
"Do you wish to go for a walk?"
"Sure."
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
They passed what used to be the arcade, now it was a closed, old shop. "You remember this place?" the girl asked.
"How could I not? The gang and we always played here."
"Yeah."
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we'd know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just a steering wheel
They passed Kaiba Corp, still there and remembered how radio and TV reporters always wanted to talk to Yami since he was the King of Games. He closed his eyes, thinking back on those days.
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when oh oh oh
Oh God I…
Every memory of lookin' out the back door
I got the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
He turned to look at her, who was looking at the building. Was she thinking abut that too? Or about something else?
Every memory of walkin' out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin' for
Goodbye, goodbye
"Hey Téa?"
"Yes?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"Me? Just those days back then?"
"The ones of Battle City?"
"Yeah. Those."
I miss that town, I miss the faces
You can't erase, you can't replace it
I miss it now, I can't believe it
So hard to stay, too hard to leave it
He missed those moments, those days. He missed his friends that he left behind; Joey, Tristan, Yugi, Mai, Serenity, Isis, Bakura and the list going down.
If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
"You know what I missed."
"What?"
"You."
Every memory of lookin' out the back door
I got the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
"Hey Téa?"
"Ye-" She was caught off by the kiss he just gave her
Every memory of walkin' out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was lookin for
Goodbye, goodbye
"I really did miss you." He repeated and continued to kiss her.
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me…
P.S.: Planning to make a story called "Broken for a Bit". It's about how Téa's life was going hard but the pharaoh helps her. But he finds a girl that the Nile River and her place starts to get replaced. Or if you want me to make this story called "You're A Pharaoh?" that's about Yami turning into a cat while trying to go to the future. Both are Yami and Téa but I want to write one first the other. Review me and tell me which one you want please!
