Against all odds.


How can I just let you walk away?

Just let you leave without a trace

When I stand here taking every breath

With you, ooh

You're the only one who really knew me at all

Sephiroth watches the girl he loves storm out of his office in quiet shock.

How can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all


Remaining at his desk he thinks back on everything they had together, both the fun times and the sad. With a quiet sigh he gets up and shuts his office door.

So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face
Well take a look at me now
There is just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face


Walking to the sofa in his office he slumps into it quietly, resting his elbows on his knees and burying his face in his gloved hands.

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all


Wiping away a few small tears he stands up and walks to the window, looking out over Midgar, his face expressionless.


So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face
Now take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you
Is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds
It's a chance I've got to take


Sitting back down at his desk he starts working through his paperwork again. Pausing he looks at the photo of his angel that sits on his desk, with a sigh he takes it and places it face down in the top drawer of his desk before going back to work quietly.


Take a look at me now...


The End.
