how Stitch would reconcile to a life without Lilo and had to write this down.

Nor All Dreams

	Stitch still couldn't get rid of the pain in his heart. It had been 2 weeks since 
he had lost Lilo and he still expected to see her every time he turned around. They had 
said it was an accident and was nobody's fault. That wasn't much comfort for those left 
behind. Stitch had never even gotten to say goodbye. He never was able to thank her for 
saving him nor tell her how much he loved her for all that she had done for him. He just 
didn't have the words.

	The more he thought about it the more it hurt. Finally the tears started and he 
couldn't hold them back any longer. After crying quietly for a few minutes he blinked 
away his tears and started singing softly in Turien.


Stitch's farewell to Lilo

I know I'll never understand.
I gave my heart when first we met,
So how can she leave; breaking it.
She said 'No one gets left behind'
But now I'm left here on my own
Facing my life all alone. 

How can I live without her when she's all I'm living for?
How can I live without her, live like I did before? 
Now I can see through her eyes how good love could be 
How can I live without her when she's gone? 

No matter what the future brings,
I'll hold her memories in my heart
No matter how long we're apart.
She'll always be the only one,
Her name forever on my lips
She slipped right through my fingertips. 

How can I live without her when she's all I'm living for?
How can I live without her, live like I did before? 
Now I can see through her eyes how good love could be 
How can I live without her when she's gone?

****

	Stitch blinked and awoke in a cold sweat. For a moment, the fading pain of the 
nightmare made his heart clinch and he wondered were he was. He quickly glanced over 
to where Lilo was sleeping safely in her bed. He smiled, gave a little sigh and dropped 
back to sleep. Thankful, that this dream at least, hadn't come true.
