People generally think of "Hold Me" as a straight love
song – it's not. According to Darren, it's about when you're ready to give up a
relationship – you love each other, but it's not working out. I've stuck to
that sort of idea during this fic.
This is a Takari. It may be the only one in the series, so
enjoy it.

HOLD ME
(Hey)
(If we can't find our way out of
these problems)
(Then maybe we don't need this)
Life's been tough lately. It's
not too much longer 'til I finish high school. I'm practically drowning in
homework, and I'm trying to have a relationship through all of this. Kari's in
the same class as me, and she's got stacks of work too so we don't have much
time to spend together anymore.
(Standing
face to face)
I find her at her locker. I'm
planning to tell her that I don't think we can manage our relationship and our
schoolwork all at once – that we should call it off, at least for a while.
"Hi TK!" she says as I come
over.
"Hi Kari."
"Do you want to go out tonight?"
she asks. "I think I've got my work under control enough to take a night off."
"Um… yeah, sure, what time do
you want me to pick you up?"
(Enemies at war we build
defences)
(And secret hiding places)
Good one, TK, I
mutter to myself. You truly stuffed that one up completely.
"Where' ya goin'?" Patamon asks.
"Taking Kari out on a date."
"Oh. Have a nice time!"
(I
might need you to hold me tonight)
"Hi TK. How are you?" Kari asks
as she gets in the car.
"I'm good. How 'bout you?"
(I
might need you to say it's alright)
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Do you want to go to the same
place as usual?"
(I
might need you to make the first stand)
"Okay."
(Because
tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man)
"Let's go, then."
Why do I feel so nervous with my
girlfriend?
(Hey)
(More than angry words I hate
this silence)
(It's getting so loud)
We're silent as I drive along.
Why? Normally we can't stop talking.
(Well I want to scream)
(But bitterness has silenced
these emotions)
(It's getting hard to
breathe)
What should I say? What can
I say?
(So tell me isn't happiness)
(Worth more than a golden
diamond ring?)
It's our first date in ages. I
can't possibly tell her tonight.
(I'm willing to do anything)
(To calm this storm in my heart)
(I've never been the praying
kind)
(But lately I've been down upon
my knees)
(Not looking for a miracle)
(Just a reason to believe)
Is this really meant to be? I
hope it is. I pray to God that we are meant to be.
(I might need you to
hold me tonight)
(I might need you to say
it's alright)
"It's not much further, is it,
TK?"
"No."
(I might need you to
make the first stand)
(Because tonight I'm
finding it hard to be your man)
Does she know something's wrong?
(Do you remember not long ago?)
(When we used to live for the
nighttime)
(Cherish each moment)
"It's been ages since we last
went out on a date, hasn't it?" Kari asks.
(Now we don't live we exist)
(We just run through our
lives)
(So alone)
"Yeah, it's been months and
months!" We laugh. It's the first time we have for the whole trip. I love it
when Kari laughs.
(That's why you've got
to hold me)
(Hey)
(If we can't find our way out of
these problems)
(Then maybe we don't
need this)
"I've got a better idea. Why
don't we just go buy fish and chips or something and eat at the park?"
"Sure. That'd be fun."
(Standing face to face)
"Great!"
(Enemies at war we build
defences)
(And secret hiding places)
(I might need you to
hold me tonight)
We're sitting on the park bench.
Kari is right up close to me, and we have our arms around each other.
(I might need you to say
it's alright)
We are meant to be…

Like it? Hate it? Please
review! The next one should be up before too long, but I can't say for certain
what it'll be since I'm not doing these in order.
