Of
all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over
with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the
days that pass me by
Paige found herself in Vancouver; it was the farthest place she could think of from him. She started a new life now; she was working at an art gallery. Not something she really wanted to do, but she was saving up money to go back to school.
Life was looking up for her; so many things had changed over the last few months since she left. She was making new friends, and she amazed herself on how independent she had become. How she didn't need no one to make her life great, and all she dreamt of.
She sat in her living room of her apartment. Her parents finally sent the rest of her stuff from her room. She began to unpack when she noticed a photo of the two of them. She was going to be strong, and not let it get to her. She was done crying about it, it wasn't worth it anymore. She guessed her parents must have not really realized that she wouldn't want them to send the stuff that contained him.
There was a knock on the door; she got up to answer it. She was shocked to see who was at the door. "Dylan," she jumped on him, giving him a hug. "What are you doing here?"
"Can't I come and see how my little sis was doing?"
"Yeah, I'm just surprised, that's all. Come in."
As he walked through the apartment, "This is a cute little place."
"Why thank you. It will be much better once I have the rest of my pictures up. Come and sit down, do you want anything?"
"No, I'm fine."
I've been searching deep down in my
soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels
like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just
pretend
And I said,
Craig sat in his new apartment; he and Emma had decided that it would be best to get out of the place that had so many horrible memories for her.
Emma had gone out for a while with her cousin, so he was stuck at home with Adrian. He decided that he would go for a little stroll; they both needed some fresh air.
He picked Adrian up out of his playpen, and put him in his stroller. Craig made sure he was bundled up, since it was a little windy out side. He would hate for him to catch a cold.
Goodbye to
you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I
loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
"Dylan, lets go get some coffee, there's a good place down the street."
"Okay, you know he doesn't live in Toronto anymore."
"Why are you telling me this, you know I just want to let him go. When you bring him up it makes it harder."
"I just don't see why you didn't try fighting for him, it's not like you."
"Because in the end I would have lost. They have a family together, what would I have to compete with, nothing. We weren't together that long."
"I guess you'll never know now."
"Let's not talk about me any more. Let's talk about your life. So do you have any new boyfriends?" as they walked down the street.
"Actually an old one."
Here eyes widened, "Marco!"
"Yeah, I met up with him at a party off campus, and we got talking. I really missed him."
"Wow, this is great news," a little sad her brother had a better love life then her.
I still get lost in your eyes
And it
seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you
chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the
light
But it's not right
Craig saw someone from a far range that reminded him of Paige. It felt like forever since the day she left his life. He felt like it was his fault that she didn't go on to college, but then felt as if she had to leave home too. He felt guilty that he had ruined her life.
He still cared deeply for her, he wanted to let it go but something inside of him wouldn't let him. He was supposed to be with Emma, but it didn't stop him from time to time of thinking of Paige, and what she had brought to his life.
He had to stop doing this to himself; he was never going to see her again. She had disappeared, and gone into hiding. Now he needed to think of his family. It wouldn't be too long until he and Emma got married, and began to build onto their family. He had to focus on that.
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the
same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want
you
But I'm not giving in this time
Dylan glanced across the street, and saw Craig pushing a stroller. He had to tell Paige; maybe this was her chance, her second chance. "Paige, look who it is across the street."
What was he talking about, she thought. Her heart fluttered at the very sight of him. He still had that effect on her, "Oh my goodness, it's Craig."
"Go talk to him," he urged her.
"No I can't, I promised myself that I wouldn't run after him, and I aunt going to break that promise."
"Come on Paige, he was so good for you. I had never seen you like that with anyone else before."
"That may be so, but his heart truly lied with Emma the whole time, and I'm not going to stop him from being happy. I love him too much to do that."
Dylan was astonished by Paige's willingness to let Craig's happiness come before her own. "You're a wonderful girl Paige; I don't know I could do that myself."
And when the stars
fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
Craig glanced over to the girl again, this time he could see her face. He noticed that she was with a guy who looked just like Dylan, then it hit him, "Its Paige!"
He didn't know what he should do, should he go over and say hi, or should he leave his presence here unknown. He wanted to respect her wishes, but at the same time, he wanted to be selfish. He had missed her so much, how she would always make him laugh. They always had fun together.
He was going for it, "Come on Adrian, we're going to go say hi to Paige."
He crossed the street, and went and walked over to the café they had stop at. He took a deep breathe, "Paige," he called out.
To Paige it felt so good to hear him say her name again; she slowly turned around, "Craig, what are you doing here?"
"We just moved here, we wanted a fresh start."
"Oh isn't that nice," she said putting on a fake smile. "Where is Emma anyways?"
"She went out with her cousin."
"That must be nice to have family here. Well Dylan and I have to get going, have a nice day."
"It was nice seeing you again, bye."
"Bye," she said as she walked out and back towards her apartment. At least this is a big town, she thought, not as many chances of running into him again. Even though deep down she hope that they would see more of each other.
