(A/N: Here's the next one... It's from Christine's POV as she looks back through the years and remembers Erik...)
Remember: (or "How could I stay")
I look back through the years
And remember
The way you spoke-
So gentle, so tender
In your eyes
I could always see
The secret of
Eternity
But behind your mask
You hid your past
And you wouldn't
Let me through
You feared that when I saw
Your face, I would no longer care for you.
It's true I was frightened,
It's true that you scared me
Maybe I even screamed
But when you sang so sweetly
It was better than I dreamed.
I wish you could know
That I miss you now
That I long to hear your voice
I dream about you each day and night
Though I know that
I made the right choice.
How could I stay?
Can you blame me?
You scared me,
You know that it's true
I miss you now,
But how could I stay
Knowing what
You tried to do?
My teacher, my friend,
The Phantom, my Angel
There are so many things I recall
Most of them good,
But some of them bad
And so back to sleep I fall
As I sit here
In the dead of night,
I stare at the darkness
Without fright.
It is you that taught me
To find the good
In things that seem all bad
And it is you that I remember now
And the courage that you had.
You let me leave
You let me love
It must have brought you pain
Sometimes I wish I could
Go back in time-
Though I know it would
Turn out the same.
Erik, I loved you
And I didn't want to leave
Though my mind screamed 'run away'
Angel, sweet Angel I loved you-
But how-
How could I stay?
(Please tell me what you think! R&R:) )
