I don't own the 7H characters, or 'The Calling,' and their song 'Could it
be any harder?', or the 'Backstreet Boy song 'I'll never break your heart'.
EPOLOGUE
"You left me with goodbye and open arms
A cut so deep I don't deserve
You were always invincible in my eyes
The only thing against us now is time"
The song played quietly in the background, Simon lay on his bed in the old peoples home crying silently as he listened closely to the words.
"Could it be any harder to say goodbye and without you,
Could it be any harder to watch you go, to face what's true
If I only had one more day"
'One more day, one more day.' Simon thought to himself. They'd been married 62 years, 62 wonderful years. Although they could never have children themselves, they adopted a brother and sister.
They had been there by his side at the funeral - two years had passed since that day, and Simon had thought about her, and listened to his song every day for those two years - the remaining Camden's also beside him, and Kiren and Jake were also there with their families.
"I lie down and blind myself with laughter
A quick fix of hope is what I'm needing
And how I wish that I could turn back the hours
But I know I just don't have the power"
The Priest said some kind words about her, saying how she was a wonderful wife, darling sister, and loving mother. That was also inscribed on her head stone.
"Could it be any harder to say goodbye and without you,
Could it be any harder to watch you go, to face what's true
If I only had one more day"
'One more day,' Simon couldn't help but wander what he would have done if he had one more day. She had gone so sudden, one minute she was there with him, and the next. he was told she hadn't suffered, 'gone in her sleep' they said. At least it was a comfort to know she wasn't in pain.
"I'd jump at the chance
We'd drink and we'd dance
And I'd listen close to your every word,
As if it's your last, I know it's your last,
Cause today, oh, you're gone."
She'd lead a relatively happy life, and he couldn't have asked for a better companion, but now he'd lost his soul mate - his best friend.
"Could it be any harder to say goodbye and without you,
Could it be any harder to watch you go, to face what's true
If I only had one more day"
One more day, there it was again. What would he do if they had one more day? One thing was certain, he'd tell her how much he'd loved her again and again.
Simon just lay there on his bed, suddenly tired, as he closed his eyes, falling into the never-ending sleep.
"Like sand on my feet
The smell of sweet perfume
You stick to me forever
and I wish you didn't go
I wish you didn't go,
I wish you didn't go away
To touch you again,
With life in your hands.
It couldn't be any harder. "
The song ended, and Tia appeared standing by his bed. Simon opened his eyes and saw her, but not how he last saw her, she was like she had been when she was younger.
He sat up, and she sat on the bed beside him, running her hand through his hair. His hair, he had hair.
Tia took his hand, and lead him to the mirror, where he saw they were wearing the clothes they wore for the prom.
'I'll never break your heart' started playing, as they danced in each others arms forever.
