Disclaimer: You know how it goes. Oh, and Never Meant To Be is sung by Samantha Mumba, and I don't own that, either.
A/N: I know Tommy/Kim fics are getting pretty old, and I usually focus on Adam or Rocky/Aisha in my stories, but I was listening to this song and the idea came into my head. Okay, on with the story…
I remember when I still believed the things you said
Never would have thought that this would come to an end
How was I to know that you had another someone new
A tear escaped from Tommy Oliver's eye as he stared at a picture of him with his now ex-girlfriend Kimberly Hart. It had been almost a month since she had sent him the Dear John letter, and he was still depressed.
I recall the days loved you in a million ways
Suddenly you and me from friends to history
I realized that my trust ain't coming back no more
Tommy hadn't even seen it coming. He was happy leading the Power Rangers in Angel Grove, and she was happy training for the Pan Globals in Florida. Nobody expected it, really. For one thing, no one knew Kim had the power to do such a thing to Tommy. For another, Tommy and Kim's long distance relationship had been working out perfectly before then. To find out Kim had found someone else was a huge shock to everyone.
'Cuz my love for you will always last eternally
You are in my heart
I loved you from the start
Baby it's hard to believe that you and I were never meant to be
She's gone. Those words replayed in Tommy's head over and over again. How could she have done that to him? He loved her so much, but then she went and found someone else. The thought of Kim with another guy made Tommy so angry, yet so sad.
Does anybody know this feeling of despair
When you really love someone, when you really care
It's hard to walk away when I really want to stay with you
Tommy walked over to his dresser and picked up the letter. He had saved it, for it had become a part of his life. It wasn't one of the most happiest moments of his life, but it was still a part. And bad a memory as it was, he didn't want to forget it. It would be the last thing that he had that could remind him of Kim, and he didn't want to get rid of it.
Does anybody know how it tears you up inside
When you try to decide between what's wrong and right
Gotta know for sure that my trust ain't coming back no more
Tommy couldn't help but feel depressed all the time. Of course, he made it seem like he was over it and he appeared to be just fine on the outside when he was out in public, but that was only to save himself from the pity of his friends. Inside, he was dying. He felt like his heart had shattered into a million pieces. He felt as if everything he was living for suddenly didn't matter-not martial arts, not being the leader of the Power Rangers, not anything. He couldn't believe he had lost her. She was his teammate, his friend, and most importantly…his first love.
'Cuz my love for you will always last eternally
You are in my heart
I loved you from the start
Baby it's hard to believe that you and I were never meant to be
What was he going to do without his Beautiful in his life? It hurt every time Tommy realized that he and Kim wouldn't be together forever, like everyone else had predicted. He thought that they were perfect together, that nothing could ever come between them, not after everything they had been through together as they fought the evil enemies of the Earth. But obviously, he was wrong.
'Cuz my love for you will always last eternally
You are in my heart
I loved you from the start
Baby it's hard to believe that you and I were never meant to be
"If it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be. You'll find someone else, I know you will. But you have to believe that there's someone else out there for you." Those had been the words of Tommy's wise friend, Kat Hilliard. Tommy sighed as he thought about her words. Maybe Kat was right. Maybe things between him and Kim weren't meant to be. But did he believe there was someone else out there for him? Yes. As he thought about Kat, there was no doubt in his mind that there was.
Yeah yeah yeah
That you and I were never meant to be
Yeah yeah yeah
That you and I were never meant to be
A/N: This is not only my first song fic, but it's my first Tommy/Kim fic, too. I'm thinking of writing another chapter focusing on Kim, so please tell me if you think I should or not. Ideas are always welcome!
