Title:
When you leave, I'm still here.
It was about five in the morning when she got up. Her train would be departing around seven, bound for Tokyo. From there she'd take the plain back home, to America. Pulling the covers away from her body, she stood up, and groggily headed towards the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, the reflection of a young girl greeted her. This girl seemed to have a free spirit of sorts, but this time, the girl seemed to not have any at all. Her heart ached like this every time she came back; whether it be for a few days or a few weeks. She sighed and started her shower. Mimi Tachikawa cried softly in the bath.
So your leaving
In the morning
On the early train
Well I could say every things all right
And I could pretend to say goodbye
The air was slightly moist and some small sounds that seems so distant, were enough to pull the young man from his sleep. Not wanting to let go of the world he obtained in his mind, her turned over with an outstretched arm and buried his face into a pillow. However, when the afore mentioned arm met with empty bed space, the boy stilled. He pulled his arm back to himself, and lazily opened an eye. It was so dark, yet there was light coming from somewhere. Lifting his head lightly, he looked towards the light; the source being a faint yellow bulb in a bathroom. Getting up and rubbing his eyes, he scanned the room. Suitcases that were packed were waiting in a corner, and a train ticket skewed on a nearby dresser. He turned slightly to see a young woman step out from the bath; towel wrapped around her tightly. She gave him a loving smile, that seemed to say something more. Jyou Kido smiled back.
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
" We need to leave soon." She spoke to him softly, and leaned over to kiss him softly on the forehead.
" I know." He replied the same, and got up.
Oh I could say that's the way it goes,
And I could pretend that you won't know
That I was Lying
Cause I Can't Stop Loving You
No I Can't Stop Loving You
No I Won't Stop Loving You
Why should I?
Mimi had put on one of her nicest outfits she could afford seeing covered in tears. She knew saying her goodbyes would get her into a fit. She had everything packed and ready to go. She looked around the room one last time, until her sight ended up on the dresser. Various pictures of herself with the others lined the back of it. One of them was of all the group during the picnic they all had. Others were goofy. One was beautiful. She picked it up and traced the picture with a finger. Setting it back down, she looked back at the bracelet she was wearing. It was the same one in the picture. A simple silver bracelet with a few blue and pink sapphires, and a few small green emeralds. It meant the world to her, but she'd never tell. She turned back to see Jyou looking in from the door way. He took a few of her bags and called back to her as he turned.
" The taxi is here."
" Thank you."
That was all they said to one another, during the ride, and upon reaching the station.
We took a taxi
To the station
Not a word was said
Everyone was there. All of them smiling, and wishing her well. Tears were exchanged, but she told them not to worry. For what seemed like hours, they all just stood there, not wanting her to go, but not forcing her to stay. One by one, they began to leave. If they didn't, it would be hard for her to. Mimi waved goodbye to them all, and then stood in silence. Only one person was there now, waiting for her to say something. When no words came, she looked up and smiled. Jyou embraced her in a soft, yet strong hug. She returned it, not wanting to let go. He spoke to her, while still holding her.
" You know I'll always be waiting."
" I know."
" You'll always have me."
" And you, me."
" I love you, Mi-Chan. You know that?" He smiled, looking back into her eyes.
" Only if you know I love you, Jyou-Chan." She replied back coyly.
Breaking the hug, she turned and crossed the street, disappearing into the station. Jyou stood there, watching the train from his spot for what seemed like an hour. A faint whistling sound was heard, along with the sign of smoke. Soon the train was departing. Jyou watched it until it was gone. He turned back towards the taxi, all the while, not caring if anyone saw his tears.
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time I don't know
Feeling humble
Heard the rumble
Of the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow,
I'll I walk away and you won't know,
That I'll be Crying.
Cause I Can't Stop Loving You
No I Can't Stop Loving You
No I Won't Stop Loving You
Why should I?
Even try
I'll always be here by your side ( Why, Why, Why?)
I never wanted to say goodbye (Why Even try)
I'm always here if you change
Change your mind
The ride back home was a quiet one. He didn't have to worry about concentrating on the driving; just looking out the window at the scenery. He was glad for once his car was in the shop. It gave him time to think back over the three weeks that had happened. It gave him time to clear his mind of all the things he couldn't before. It gave him time, to silently grieve.
So your leaving
In the morning
On the early train
Well I could say every things all right
And I could pretend to say goodbye
But that would be Lying
When he got home, Jyou stood there in the hallway. All the things that had happened seemed to suddenly play before his eyes, as if he was watching a movie. The day she came to visit. The day they had with the group and with themselves; the day he got her to stay with him, instead of using her money on a hotel room, or asking one of the girls. He smiled at that one, remembering how he told her that she could use the extra money on souvenirs. Then they all just stopped. He sighed slightly, and looked around at the quiet household. He was about to go back out again, when something caught his eye. The sunlight that was coming in through the window hit something that sparkled. Jyou walked over to it. He held his breath as he picked it up.
Mimi's bracelet.
She loved this bracelet; it was like the world to her, he thought. When she got it, she never took it off. He once remembered her saying it was like a part of her. He smiled to him self after a moment, and put the bracelet back on the table. She'd be coming back. She planned on it.
Cause I Can't Stop Loving you (Can't Stop loving you)
No I Can't Stop Loving (I Won't stop loving you)
No I Won't Stop Loving You
Why should I? ( Why should I Even try)
Cause I Can't Stop Loving You (Can't Stop loving you)
No I Can't Stop Loving You (It's all up to you to be .. )
No I Won't Stop Loving You
Why should I?(Why should I?)
Why should I?(Tell me Why!)
Why should I. . .
Even try?
