I'm nearing the end

Or The Beginning

Whichever one finds me

Duo couldn't believe what had happened. Sitting in the hospital room brought back painful memories. Of Her.

And I'm counting the tears and the blessings that I leave behind me

She had changed his life. Brought him up from the gutter and made him something.

I could not ask for more

She truly was the only thing Duo had ever wanted. She was a hug and a kiss to come home to. A relief from his stressful job.

You were the one thing worth living for

He breathed her breath. He lived her life. She kept him from giving life up. For nothing in return.

I will remember days in Avalon

I will remember nights in your arms

He would never forget her soft touch. Her loving voice. Her pixie-like face that he truly loved.

I will remember days in Avalon

I will recall every morning

He would never forget her. How could he?

My days in the sun

A day with her was a day in Heaven. Why did she have to go?

As I embrace the twilight

The memories surround me

The dark night was just turning to dawn. That was her favorite time to get him up. She would say, "Duo, isn't the sunrise beautiful?" Nothing compared to her, he thought.

I could have been lost, sure as the rain comes

If you hadn't found me

She had found him. She hadn't given up on him, like everyone else had.

Each breath I breathe is for you

He owed her his life. Now he could never truly thank her.

Never knew how to live till you taught me to

She showed him how to live life to the fullest. How to show the universe that he cared.

I will remember days in Avalon

I will remember nights in your arms

Every night was it's own few hours in heaven. Just lying with her.

I will remember days in Avalon

I will recall every morning

Duo could picture every day he had spent with her. Every memory they had shared.

My days in the sun

The days he spent with her were beautiful. They shared everything they felt and knew each other inside out.

I will run through the door

Not afraid anymore

She had given him confidence, a will to live.

In the light that I see is your eyes

Her beautiful eyes. Forever closed.

Once again I'll behold

I will live in your soul

And when she poured out her emotions. That was when she truly opened up for him. It was a step into her soul.

Longer than the rest of my life

He was the sinner. She, she was perfect. He was the one that should be on the bed. Not her.

I will remember days in Avalon

I will remember nights in your arms

I will remember days in Avalon

I will recall every morning

Yes I will recall every morning

My days in the sun

She was gone forever. There was no way to help her now, or protect her from what she might face. Silent tears ran down his face.

" Oh, Hilde!"
