Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you know
I follow the music into the computer room. I wonder who could be there. The others had gone into the digital world. I don't blame them for leaving me behind. They will never be able to trust me. And I don't blame them.
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
I stood quietly in the door way of the empty computer lab, not wishing to interput the blonde musician. He looked up in smiled.
Come in kid, I'm not going to bite. He strummed on his guitar.
Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
And so my road can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
I uneasily sat by him, wondering what to say. We hadn't seen each other since I had been the digimon emperor. It was during that time I had captured Agumon and made him my slave. I can still remember the intense anger in those blue eyes as he fought alongside his friends. A twinge of jeaslously racked my heart. I could never have friends like that. But than again, I'm no better than a monster. I don't deserve his forgivness any more than I do his brother's.
Did you write this song yourself?
I'm rewarded with a nod, and he continues to sing softly.
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
Its nice.
We sat in silence for a while, our blue eyes studying each other in earnest.
I broke the silence. T.K. is in the digital world with the others.
I'm not here to see T.K., I'm here to see you. He informs me.
What? Why? How come?
I want to keep you from making the same mistake I did. He states.
I don't understand.
I know how you feel about him.
What do you mean? I ask nervously. How can he know? Is it that obvious, oh God!
Hey, take it easy Ken. I only know becuase, well I understand.
How could you understand? how I feel about him?
His eyes locked on mine. I know how it feels to think that your not worthy of being loved by somebody. And I know how it feels to live with regret every single day of your life.
What do you know? I replied. How could he know so much about this?
I'll I know is that if you don't say something soon, your going to regret it for the rest of your life, like me.
They'll never forgive me for all the things I've done. I say softly.
Friends can forgive you for anything. No go tell him how you feel. Matt gestures toward the computer.
What about you? I ask, surprised to see tears glistening in his azure depths.
It's too late for me.
What if he hates me?
Just think about it Ken. What do you have to lose?
He was right. I had nothing to lose. I had to tell him, and be damned with the consequences.
Digiport open.
Hey Ken! Glad you decided to come! He says. Is it wishful thinking, or is there a warmth in those eyes?
Could we go somewhere and talk, alone?
Sure Ken. He turns to the rest of them
Ken and I need to go talk. We'll be back later.
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you
Matt holds the worn picture in his hand, tracing over his face. It wasn't to late for Ken. Maybe it won't be too late for me. What do I have to lose? Matt picks up the phone and dials.
