It's so hard to lose the one you love
Pashmina walks along the beach side slowly
To finally have to say goodbye
She stops and thinks about Shawn for a few seconds, and how she nearly fell in love with him; the memories they shared. She hugs her bag tightly against her chest.
You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin' on
As she thought about the moments, she couldn't believe it wasn't him. She drops down onto her kneels and grips onto her bag tighter, releasing her pain and humiliation.
And all that you can do is cry
As she gripped onto her bag tighter, she started to cry.
Deep within your heart you know it's time to move on
When the fairy tale that you once knew is gone
She started to sob as she heard birds flying by the sunset scene, right in front of her. She sat still, admiring the peacefulness and the sun.
Chorus
When the last tear drop falls I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
As she watches the sunset, the last teardrop trailed down her cheeks. Then memories of her meeting Shawn for the first time, being with Shawn and talking to Shawn played back in her mind, once again, but this time she could see it a little clearly.
When the last tear drop falls I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls
As the teardrop was about to touch the end of her cheek, she suddenly stood up, looking confident and strong. She took a deep breath then exhaled. She now knew that Shawn isn't the one for her, but someone out there is.
So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on
But my destination still unknown, oh yeah
Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?
When I was meant to walk these streets alone
She stood there, still watching the sunset as she smiles, knowing that she doesn't need a man to make her happy, but then she thought to herself, after today, will she attempt to fall in love again? Or will she decide to remain single?
If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight
It would be to have you right back by my side
Pashmina was, then, reminded that having someone who you love and loves you back is a great feeling; like the times she had with Dexter. Pashmina made a wish as she stared at the sunset. Her wish was to find that someone soon. Then, as if someone heard her prayer, someone tapped her shoulderfrom behind.
During the Chorus
When the last tear drop falls I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
When the last tear drop falls I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls
Pashmina turned around to find herself starring up at Stan's smiling face. She couldn't help, but smile back. Pashmina then looked away and thought, "What was she thinking! She's been hurt enough as it is and she doesnt want to be fall in love again." She sighed. Stan raised Pashmina's head to face his, with his gentle hands, and by starring at his eyes, Pashmina felt safer and happier; all of her worries and pain seemed to have swept passed her.
Now it's time for me to find my happiness again
Stan started to walk a head and reached out his hand for her to grab onto, and follow him.
But the emptiness from missin' you
Pashmina, at first, hesitated for a bit, still not forgetting the pain she had just felt.
Will never ever end, baby
Stan took her hand and pulled her forward, and as if he knew how she felt, he hugged her tightly and she hugged him back, feeling cured.
During the Chorus
When the last tear drop falls I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
When the last tear drop falls I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls
After a couple of seconds from cuddling, Stan and Pashmina stared at each other's glorious eyes. Pashmina started to cry once again, and Stan seemed startled. Stan wiped away her tears and said, "Everything's going to be alright now. I'm here for you." Pashmina grinned with the last teardrop flowing down, and she hugged him again. Stan placed his arms around her.
After a couple of hours, Stan convinced Pashmina, to give him a chance. They sat down on the warm sand talking and getting to know each other. Pashmina never knew how great Stan was, until today. As it had become dark, Stan bought her an ice cream and told her to sit down on the bench across from the ice cream truck.
"Pashmina…" Stan seemed troubled, " I have something to tell you."
Pashmina looked concerned, "Was he going to break her heart too?" She thought to herself.
"I am truly sorry," He apologized.
Pashmina didn't comprehend, "Why are you apologizing? You weren't the one who broke my heart today."
"Actually, I had some part in it…" Stan said shamefully.
"I don't understand…" Pashmina was so sure Stan was different.
"Pashmina, Shawn isn't Green. I'm Green." Stan explained, "And if I never had sent you that e-mail then you wouldn't have gotten hurt like this. I never meant to hurt you and I never wanted to get you hurt."
Pashmina dropped her ice cream to the floor.
"I know, you must hate me now." Stan sighed, "I can understand if you don't ever want to see my face –" At that moment, Pashmina hugged him and she started to cry again, "Pashmina… I'm so sorry! Ugh, I've made you cry again!"
Pashmina smiled with tears, "No, Stan. I'm not crying because I'm hurt; I'm crying because I'm happy." Stan didn't seem to get why she was happy, and Pashmina read that through his face expression, "I'm happy because, after today, I've realized that you made me feel something, something I couldn't describe and now I know. I'm in love, Stan. I'm in love with you!" Pashmina smiled, "I've always wanted to be with Green and I've always wanted Green to make me feel happy, and it has finally come true. You made me smile and laugh…"
Stan stared at her, wordless, and he was about to open his mouth when Pashmina silenced him with her lips upon his lips.
I don't know the reason for Shawn acting all flirty with me, and I guess I never will. He really did seem like he was interested in me, but I could see I was wrong -His heart belonged to Bijou and not me. It's okay though, because I'm going to forget all of that now. Now that I've got Stan and my friends by my side, I'm happy and nothing will take that away. Life is perfect.
Thank you, Green…
