A/N Brambleclaw on his deathbed, speaking to the one he loves. I will not tell you who, as you probably know. "The Reason" by Hoobastank.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you

I've walked paths that are near evil; Said words that I
wanted to be left un-said; I've hurt you, but I love you.

And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

You are my life, reason to live, my everything. I'll never
be right for you, but my heart yearns for you.

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why i need you to hear

Listen to me, I mean what I say. I watch you, every
moment of my life, watch you cry. I feel your pain, and
I want to take it all back.

I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

Can we forget how it was; send me soft on my way?

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
and so I have to say before I go
that I just want you to know

I was mean, I know, but I have heart. Forgive me,
because of our love.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

You change me, you make me want to be that person,
the one that is always there for you. I will be gone, but
there, so just forgive me.

I've found a reason to show
a side of me you didn't know
a reason for all that I do
and the reason is you

Oh Squirrelflight, I love you

A/N second update today. I'm so proud.
let's just say for the sake of this songfic that they never made up. Review; don't be afraid to be 'harsh'. Just be honest.
And if this gets a bit complicated, it's formatted so you can just read the 'story' and ignore the song lyrics. It works.
