Digimon
Legal stuff: I don't own any of the Digimon characters, nor do I own any of Savage Garden's songs. I'm just borrowing them for a while =).
This is I guess #3 out of 4 the last one being "Break Me, Shake Me." Uh, anyway this is Mimi's POV right now, and the song is "The Lover After Me" by Savage Garden (reallllllly good CD, both of them, buy them!)
The Lover After Me
We see Mimi walking down the street thought's of Tai flood her mind, she pushes them back.
(Here I go again, I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today.)
She remembers how Yamato had just left her, the pain she felt as Tai jumped into that car.
(It's been seven months and counting. You've moved on, I still feel exactly the same.)
She passes the restaurant where she had her first date with Tai, the park that sometimes they would just lay in and do nothing for hours.
(It's just that everywhere I go, all the buildings know your name like, photographs and memories of love.)
She stops and chokes back the tears that she knows are coming.
(Steel and granite reminders, the city calls your name, and I can move on.)
We cut to a scene of Mimi in her room, she looks awful, as though she has been crying all night. She remembers all the days she just couldn't do it anymore, just couldn't get out of bed.
(Ever since you've been gone. The lights go out the same. The only difference is, you call another name)
She had seen him with her, and told him how happy she was with them, silently crying inside.
(To your love, to your lover now. To your love. The lover after me.)
Slowly, she starts again, pained by all the memories of him, her 'friends' had gotten her dates. . .
(Am I all alone in the universe? There's no love on these streets. I have given mine away to a world, that didn't want it anyway.)
. . .and how those 'friends' told her that she was better off without him.
(So this is my new freedom? It's funny. I don't remember being chained.)
How could they tell her that? Didn't they see she missed him? Every part of him, even the way he always woke her up so early they could see the sunrise.
(But nothing seems to make sense anymore. Without you I'm always twenty minutes late.)
She collapses and cries, It was all gone.
(Ever since you've been gone. The lights go out the same. The only difference is, you call another name.)
All gone, these tears were for him.
(To your love, to your lover now. To your love. The lover after me.)
All the times she's woken up and looked at his pillow, hoping to see him there, she picks up a picture of him.
(And time goes by so slowly. The nights are cold and lonely.)
Praying for him please to come back to her.
(I shouldn't be holding on, but I'm still holding on for you.)
She breaks down and sobs. Realizing the futility of her prayers.
* * *
We come back to her on the street. She gets up and leaves and goes to his apartment.
(Here I go again, I promised myself, I wouldn't think of you today.)
She knocks . . . "Please, God, Tai. Please be home."
(But I'm standing at your doorway. I'm calling out your name. Cos' I can't move on.)
She stops and falls down . . . sobbing loudly.
(Ever since you've been gone. The lights go out the same. The only difference is, you call another name. To your love, to your lover now. To your love. The lover after me.)
