An auburn haired girl waited. She waited for him on top of the clock tower. Her ice cream was long gone, as well as his: they had already melted into water.
Patiently, the girl waited. Quiet, since she had nobody to talk to, but she still waited.
You can break her down
With your highs and lows
But she's familiar with the sound
The sound you make, every time you go
She sighed, and looked down from the top of the clock tower, hoping to see a flash of white, something, anything that would comfort her.
There was silence.
She felt like crying. He's always been like this.
But she knew, and yet she still waited for him.
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you
She remembered the Holidays, when the snow covered everything as far as she could see.
To be honest, it was a few days after the Holidays. She waited in the same spot, his present intact, waiting for him to come and pick it up.
He never came.
She left the present there, so when he came, he'd pick it up.
This holiday she's alone
She leaves the lights on the tree
And though the New Year has come
Every night, they'll stay on for you to see
The streaks of tears that started at her emerald green eyes were almost dry. It seemed like it was yesterday. Her disappointment, her pain still felt fresh.
But she still, waits, even now.
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
'Good afternoon, passengers. The train leaving to Traverse City will be departing shortly. Please prepare to embark.'
The automatic voice pinched her heart. And, for the first time, in all her life she said,
"He's not coming."
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you
Always

Riku stared at his watch, which read 4:45 pm. Olette's train left at 5:00 pm.
I still have time! he thought. I can't afford to slip up. Not this time. Don't leave, Olette, wait for me!
He had slipped up too many times. His priorities were screwed up to the point he forgot about what's important, about her.
He felt like an idiot. No, felt like an absolute and complete jackass. He played with her feelings, played with her, and the final result stung like a million bees.
He had fallen in love with her.
Every day she waits
And instead you walk away
The stairs to the top of the tower were arduous, but he reached the summit.
He reached it, only to realize that nobody was there.
He fell to his knees, and the tears came out unwillingly.
On the wall, there was a piece of paper with some tape sticking it. Riku picked it up, and opened it. Inside there were two, simple but beautifully written words:
You're late.
