I wonder how she feels about me…
Does she care…?
Would she care??
It's all so confusing…Love is so confusing…
Cloud looked up to Aeris who was staring out the window in awe at the sights.
Maybe I should tell her…tell her…how I feel…
Tell..her…Cloud…
I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away
And pray we'll stay together
Cloud thought of all the reasons that he loved her… there were so many…
Cloud opened his mouth to speak…
Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
And make it Evergreen
Aeris then turned to him and smiled….
"Cloud…I'm having a lot of fun…thank you…"
"For what? I'm having a lot of fun too.."
"For being there…for being strong…for being you…Thank you…"
Cloud didn't know what to say…She got up from her seat and sat next to him and touched his arm…
Touch
Like a angel
Like velvet to my skin
And I wonder
Wonder why you wanna stay the night
"Cloud…I don't know how much time I have left…but whatever happens…"
Tears fell down her cheeks…
She shut her eyes…
Memories flooded in…
I have to go soon…I have to be taken away from the only thing I have ever truly loved…
I never knew love…not before I met Cloud…only from Mom…
In the slums no one had respect for anyone…I was never cared for…I always had to look for my own life…no one would care…
But when I met you Cloud…I know what love is…I know that…I know how it feels…
I know how to laugh…
How to smile…
How to find my light…
All because of you…
…I love you…for that Cloud…
"Aeris? What's wrong...?" Cloud asked with soft eyes…
What you're dreaming
What's behind
Don't tell me
But it feels like love
More tears streamed down her face…
Cloud's eyes turned from happiness to sorrow…He didn't know why Aeris was crying…
Aeris…
He got up from his seat on the gondola and sat next to her. He didn't know what to say…all he knew was that he wanted to hold her, stroke her hair, to make her forget the pain she was feeling…
He gathered her in his arms…
I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away
And pray we'll stay together
He didn't think…he didn't worry about the what ifs or what might happen…
Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
And make it Evergreen
He just held her…he just let himself love…she didn't resist. She cried into his warm embrace. He stroked her hair lovingly while she cried on his shoulder. Cloud buried his lips in her hair kissing her head gently and comfortingly.
Don't tell me
But it feels like love
She looked up in surprise with a tear filled face…
He gazed into her emerald green eyes…
I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away
And pray we'll stay together
And tilted her chin up to his…
He gently touched his lips to hers kissing her gently but lovingly…
Aeris' eyes closed as she kissed him back wrapping her arms around him…as she felt his touch envelope her in a bed of warmth…His skin ran and tingled with heat and anticipation as he held her close. She felt like the world was fading away…all her world consisted of was…
Cloud…
He savoured her scent, and the gentleness of her lips as their lips continually parted and met…
I don't want this moment to end…Aeris thought…
Fireworks shot through the air intensifying the moment…
Aeris parted and looked at him… "Cloud….I…" she whispered her voice quavering…
Cloud hushed her with his finger and pulled her in a embrace…
Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
And make it Evergreen
She sighed with happiness…
Cloud…I just want to have this moment…this moment with you…for it may be my last…
Tears of realization hit her…she knew of the future…
Cloud…
She closed her eyes…
Planet…just let me have this moment…just one…
…then you can take me home…to the Promised Land…
************************************************************************
Cloud walked Aeris to her room in the Ghost hotel…
"Good night Aeris…" he whispered kissing her gently.
"Good night Cloud…"
She opened the door and stepped inside…she whispered goodnight and closed the door gently.
Cloud sighed with happiness…
I'll protect her with everything I am…I love her…
I won't let anyone or anything harm her…I promise you Aeris…
With that Cloud Strife then returned to his room…
************************************************************************
Cloud lay on his bed staring at the ceiling…He sighed happily…
He was thinking of Aeris….
I see the picture,
Of your arms holding me tight,
I hear your heart beat,
So very close to mine,
But now the moonlight shinesIn your eyes,
To me, this has been the perfect night.
What a night it's been….Me…and Aeris…together…
The night is now closing to the end.
But I would do anything to live it again…
Cloud looked to the ceiling and sighed happily…he remembered everything that happened that night…
A loving gaze,
A warm embrace
Has all come up to be,
The perfect night,
In so many ways,
A loving touch,
A caring heart,
A night to remember for
The rest of my days
I'll remember this night till the very end,
Wishing that I could live it all over again.
Just when I'm near her…so many feelings, so many emotions I never knew…Cloud sighed.
I look in your eyes,
I watch you smile,
Creates a thousand sensations,
I'll hold in this heart of mine.
*Aeris' room…
I've lived heaven and back…It was the most beautiful night of my life…sighed Aeris happily…
But now you hold me closer,
I feel a step closer to heaven,
Is it somewhere near?
Because the feelings I'm feeling,
Eases all my fears.
If only if I could live this again…She wanted this…but she couldn't have it…
The night is now closing to an end,
But I would do anything to live it again.
She was happy while she could be…she remembered Cloud's eyes, his touch, his embrace….
A loving gaze,
A warm embrace
Has all come up to be,
The perfect night,
In so many ways,
A loving touch,
A caring heart,
A night to remember for
The rest of my days
I'll remember this night till the very end,
Wishing that I could live it all over again
I found the man I love…the one I want to be with…but…Tears flowed down her cheeks….
Cloud I'm sorry…I can't…I have to do something…but…I love you Cloud…
A fantasy finally comes true,
Everything I wished for,
I found in you
Cloud's room…
"I love her…so much…I'll protect her…and no one can ever take her away…I just hope she feels the same…" Cloud said tiredly…
He closed his eyes and fell into the arms of sleep…
Tomorrow when I wake up,
I'll remember this night,
But knowing I'm with you,
I can relive this anytime.
*Aeris's room…
Aeris packed her things into her knapsack, along with some food and some materia…she slipped out the door and walked into Cloud's room where he was dreaming peacefully…
Cloud…I love you…I wish I could tell you that…
She stroked his hair from his face…
I'll hold this memory forever…I'll never forget…
She kissed him on the head and slipped out the door…
Before she left….she took one last gaze at her love…
A loving gaze,
A warm embrace
Has all come up to be,
The perfect night,
In so many ways,
A loving touch,
A caring heart,
A night to remember for
The rest of my days
I'll remember this night till the very end,
Wishing that I could live it all over again
…please don't forget me…
…Goodbye…
