Ch. 5: The Heart Won't Lie
MATT'S POV
Finally after what seemed like hours I stopped in front of the two girls. When I had first noticed the red-head talking to Sakura I was certain it had to be a dream. Not a minute had passed in the last two years that I had not wondered where she was or what she was doing. And here she was before me, less than ten feet away. God, where on earth did she get that dress? I could feel my body beggining to react to her presence and there had not even been one word spoken between us.
"Hi Sora." I said to the former digi-destined of love. I was surprised at how calm and steady my voice sounded when my heart was going at a hundred beats per minute.
"Hi Matt." She said to me.
No more words could be spoken because at that moment a voice came over the intercom.
"All right everyone this is the last dance of the evening, so everyone make it special.
I knew that I had to do something before she left. I didn't know if I could handle seeing her walk out of my life once more. So I looked at Sora and held out my hand to her. When she placed her hand in mine, together we made our way to the dance floor.
"Sora. I.." I started, but found I could say no more.
"Matt? What's the matter." Sora asked me.
"I'm such a coward Sora."
"What? Matt, what are you talking about?"
"There are so many things that I need to tell you Sora. So many things you should know." I cried as I stared into her beautfiul aubourn eyes, trying desperately to gather my courage.
"Matt. Whatever it is you can tell me. You can tell me anything."
"No Sora, I can't. I never could." I told her as the hope within me began to dwindle.
Looking back over the years
of all the things I've always meant to say
but the words didn't come easily.
SORA'S POV
"You know Sora. It really is good to see you. I can't believe it's been over two years since we've seen each other." Matt told me after an ackward moment of silence.
"You know I always meant to call you."
"Why didn't you."
"I don't know why. I guess I was afraid Matt." I could see the surprise in his eyes when he looked at me.
"Afraid why?"
"I don't know." I lied to him, I never the reason all too well.
So many times through empty fears
of all the nights I've tried to pick up the phone
so scared of who might be answering.
MATT'S POV
"So Matt, how have you been doing these last two years."
"All right I guess."
"You guess?"
I took a moment to find the way to explain the problems I've dealt with these past two years.
"Well the last couple of years have been hard. I've done a lot of things I regret. When I did them, I thought I was doing the right thing. But now I wish I could change them. But that's all in the past now and I'm just trying to make the most of each day that comes."
"Is it working?"
"I had thought it was, but after tonight I'm not so sure." I admitted to her.
You try to live your life from day to day
but seeing you across the room tonight
just gives me away
Cause the heart won't lie.
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried.
The heart won't lie.
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise.
The heart won't lie.
SORA'S POV
"You know Matt, I bought all of the CD's you guys released."
"You did!?"
"Yep. I used to listen to it when I went to bed at night, and then when I woke up in the morning your voice was the first thing I heard."
"Sora...." Matt began, but I interrupted him. I knew he had to know how much I had missed him.
"The sound of your voice on that CD was the only thing that got me though all those night after Tai and I first broke up. I missed you Matt." I admitted to him. The tears that had begun to gather in my eyes during our conversation slwoly began to fall. When his eyes met mine I could see the pain and hurt in his eyes. And I knew he was hurting because I was. He cradeled my face in his hands and used his thumbs to gently wipe them away.
"I missed you too Sora." He said as his own tears mingled with mine, and I couldn't resist the force that drew my lips to his.
NEXT MORNING
MATT'S POV
The morning sun was peaking though the curtain and fell right into my sleepy eyes. Instantly I was aware of two things, one was the warm body pressed up against my own and the second was the soft and steady breathing against my neck.
I opened my eyes to the most enchanting sight I had ever seen. Wrapped in my arms was the same girl I had fallen in love with years ago. But what now?
Long after tonight
will you still hear my voice through the radio
old desires make us act carelessly.
SORA'S POV
Slowly I opened my eyes as I felt the warmth I had been cuddled up against suddenly dissapear. Instantly my confused aubourn eyes met serious sky blue.
"Good Morning." Matt told me.
"Uhm. Hi." I said slowly as the events of last night came crashing down on me. What did this mean? Was this the beginning of something for them or was it just a fluke? A one night stand? Looking into his eyes I could read nothing of what he was feeling.
"Matt..." I started, but found I could not find words for what I really needed to say.
When he moved to sit next to me on the bed, I involuntarily flinched and backed away from him. I was still feeling slightly timid and embarassed about the events of the following evening. I saw the hurt and shame that flashed through his eyes. I wondered if maybe it was a measure of his feelings. Slowly I drew in a breath and attempted to say the words I knew would change both of our lives.
"Matt. I'm not sure how you feel about what happened last night. Did it mean anything to you, or was it just a one time thing?"
Long after tonight, after the fire,
after the scattered ashes fly
through the four winds blown and gone.
Will you come back to me?
MATT'S POV
I was startled by her words. Is that what she really thinks. I knew the only way to convince her that last night meant anything to me would be to admit to all that I feel for her.
"Sora, of course it meant something to me. I'm kinda hoping that last night is just the beginning for the two of us. When I saw you at the dance last night I knew I couldn't deny what was in my heart any longer.
You try to live your life from day to day
but seeing you across the room tonight
just gives me away.
SORA'S POV
"What are you trying to say Matt?" I asked him disbelieving. Could he really be?
"Sora. I love you. I have for a very long time."
"But that day in the park you told me that I should start a relationship with Tai." I cried to him, never could he understand how much I was hurt that day. How much I lost.
"I know Sora. But at that time I thought you were in love with him. I knew that Tai truly loved you and that he would do all he could to give you the love and hapiness you deserve. I didn't think I could give you that."
"All I ever wanted was your love Matt. Nothing else could have made me happier. Something inside me broke that day when you told me to go to Tai. But I convinced myself that eventually I would get over you, and maybe I could grow to love Tai."
Cause the heart won't lie.
Sometimes life gets in the way,
But there's one things that won't change
I know I've tried.
The heart won't lie
you can live your alibi
who can see your lost inside a foolish disguise.
The heart won't lie.
MATT'S POV
"Oh Sora please don't cry. I'm so sorry to have hurt you that way. I thought I was doing the right thing that day by walking away. Would it make you feel any better to know that I really do love you. That I basically worship the ground you walk on." I cried as I noticed the crystalline drops slowly falling down her face. I had never wanted to hurt her. Everything I had done was because I had not wanted to hurt her.
"Oh Matt I love you too."
"No more lies Sora. You know if I've learned anything these last two years is that that you may try to lie to yourself, but your heart always knows the truth. I love you Sora."
"Now and Forever Matt?"
"Now and Forever Sora."
The Heart Won't Lie.
