2nd part of the Trilogy, a songfic set to the song 'Gone', by N*Sync. I
know…N*Sync...If anyone I know is reading this they'll know...I really
can't stand them (Have you heard, one of them is undergoing tests to see if
he can go into space…Now if only he'd take the rest of the band…and
Britney! ~_^). But, this song is sweet and a really cute ballad, so I
couldn't resist using it! ^_^

'Gone'
/There's a thousand words that I could say,
To make you come home/
Van Fanel was pacing the room, his face creased with a frown
/Oh, seems so long ago you walked away,
Left me alone/
She had left him. He had waited so long that his pain had become a dull ache, set to the back of his mind, only freshening at night, when the Mystic Moon shone with a pale light.
/I remember what you said to me
You were acting so strange/
He still remembered the night their link to each other was broken down to the tenuous hold they now shared.
/and maybe I was too blind to see
That you needed a change/
He had thought it might lessen both their pain, not to have to experience the other's life. Now he only felt the significant moments, times of only extreme sorrow or happiness.
/Was it something I said
To make you turn away?/
He sighed and leaned against the wall, remembering the last time they had talked. The night of it. She had tried to hide her feelings from him, always thinking of others before herself. But he had felt it, her anguish had rushed through him like a wave. It was then they had said goodbye…for the last time.
/To make you walk out and leave me cold
If I could just find a way/
He would have done anything, cancelled it, given up the throne, anything for her at that moment. It wouldn't have changed anything.
/To make it so that you were right here
But right now.../
Before he was in pain, but now it was worse, the pain was fading and he was alone.
/I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind/
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
/I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face/
But the truth remains…
You're gone...
You're gone...
Baby you're gone
Girl you're gone, baby girl, you're gone...
You're gone…
You're.../
She was gone.
/I don't wanna make excuses, baby
Won't change the fact that you're gone/
There was no going back now, it was nearly time. He could hear Allen's footsteps, resounding on the marble floor of the palace corridor.
/But if there's something that I could do
Won't you please let me know?/
He had thought about contacting her, but it wouldn't be fair. If she had wanted to talk to him…she would have contacted him.
/Time is passing so slowly now
Guess that's my life without you/
"Van…" That was all Allen was able to say. He had seen the woman he loved marry another man, his only son was raised by a stranger, yet still he didn't understand the pain
/and maybe I could change my every day
But baby I don't want to/
Van pushed past Allen, ready to face his 'destiny'. Huh, destiny, such an empty word. He had believed Hitomi was his destiny and look where that had got him.
/So I'll just hang around
and find some things to do/
He and Allen entered the Temple and walked to the alter. Van felt like all the eyes of Fanelia were watching him betray himself, her.
/To take my mind off missing you
and I know in my heart
You can't say that you don't love me too
Please say you do/
They loved each other and here he was, about to betray all the trust, promises, his own dreams, for the sake of his kingdom!
/Yeeaah....
I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I Drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains/
He watched her walk down the aisle, Leiandra of Basram. A beauty, intelligent…in love with another man! It was a royal duty, you married for your family and your country, not for yourself
/You're gone…
You're gone…
You're gone
You're gone...you're gone... you're...
Gone/
Do you Leiandra Kiata Basra, take Van Slanzar de Fanel, to be your lawfully wedded husband…
/Ohhh.../
Suddenly Van heard a voice, hardly more than a whisper, but still there.
/Oh what'll I do
If I can't be with you/
"Van, are you there?"
/Tell me where will I turn to
Baby who will I be/
His mind was torn from the ceremony, as he heard the voice of his one and only true love.
"Hitomi?"
/Now that we are apart
Am I still in your heart?/
"Van, I can't talk for long, but just remember, I will love you forever."
/Baby why don't you see?
That I need you here with me
Oohhh.../
"Don't forget me, please?" Her voice faded away.
/I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains/
She was gone, he would not hear any more from her. But her just being there for him, it was enough.
Been sitting here
/Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains/
"Van Slanzar de Fanel, do you take Leiandra Kiata Basra, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
/You're gone...
You're gone...
You're gone
You're gone
Gone
You're gone…/
"I do."
/But the truth remains
You're.../
"Goodbye Hitomi,"
Pain might be endless, but true love lasts forever.
