A/N: This is a songfic about Kel; it's set sometime during Page. I think
they belong together, but I like this song and I had to do something with
it. It's actually more reflective of how I feel about…um….someone. Read and
review!

Kel began to climb the stairs to her room. Her duties at the Midwinter festival were over for that night, and she knew she should get some sleep. But she paused half-way up, taking one last glance at the dancers on the floor.
*Everybody's got something
They had to leave behind*
Yes, there he was; the tall, lanky brunette, dancing with a pretty court lady. Kel's heart ached as she watched him spin across the room.
*One regret from yesterday
That just seems to grow with time*
There was no reason for her to watch any more; he was beyond her reach now. There was nothing she could do to bridge the ever-widening gap between them.
*There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
All this I know but still I can't find ways
To let you go
I never had a dream come true
'Til 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, yeah*
She remembered her first day as a probationer; it seemed like only yesterday she had met the outspoken, Gifted boy she knew as Neal.
*Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time*
Kel knew she should move on; Cleon was obviously attracted to her, and he wasn't that bad. But, somehow, she couldn't bring herself to let go of her old dream.
*And tomorrow can never be
'Cos yesterday is all that fills my mind*
Clinging to the past wouldn't do anything, no matter how wonderful the possibilities had been; but that knowledge made it all the harder to move on.
*There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or might have been
All this I know but still I can't find ways
To let you go
I never had a dream come true
'Til 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, yeah*
She knew that, no matter who she went on to, Neal's memory would always be there, casting a shadowy film over everything she ever said or did.
*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*
Cleon might someday be her first romance, but Neal would never leave her thoughts.
*It'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, no, no, no, no
I never had a dream come true
'Til 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*

A/N: Sad, huh? I actually took how I feel about *someone* and switched the names. I hope you liked it; most of my stories aren't this angsty, but this song always makes me cry.
