Disclaimer: I didn't write the lyrics to the song below, and they're not mine. I decided to put this in, because the lyrics fit so well with the story. The song is called Fukai Mori (Deep Forest).
Yami and Serenity were sitting in front of the fireplace, watching the flames flicker. They hadn't said anything for a while, until Yami said, "Did your mom ever sing you a lullaby when you were little?"
"Well, she actually hummed it," said Serenity. Serenity lay down and hummed. Yami closed his eyes, and once again heard a familiar song that tugged at his heartstrings. He imagined a picture of what the afterworld might be like. When Serenity was done, he said, "That was beautiful. Do you sing?"
"Well, I used to be in choir," said Serenity. "I guess I could sing you a song. Do you have a request?"
"No. Sing whatever you please."
"Ok." After a few minutes, Serenity chose a song that she had heard in a movie. She sang softly.
There must still be the soul that you have left behind, hidden somewhere
In the deep deep of the forest lying among the trees
People who are too tired they just don't look around, any farther
They disappear into the eternal darkness of a foreign place
Could we still have seen if we were there?
Could we have seen it if it were little?
Go on with our lives and lose those things behind.
Wrapped around in lies, we stand there voiceless.
We want to leave our lives, until we find a way.
Searching for the light for eternity.
Things are passing and changing and moving around,
But the colors of the sky,
Still remain the same, as we used to know,
Every single day.
We are running so free now, ignoring the risk
The limits that we had.
Leave our fears behind, take another chance.
Our souls will live again.
If we could catch the rhythm of time,
We could probably fly so high.
Could we still have seen if we were there?
Could we have seen it if it were little?
Go on with our lives, and lose those things behind.
Wrapped around in lies, we stand there voiceless.
We want to leave our lives, until we find a way.
Searching for the light for eternity
Go on with our lives, and lose those things behind.
Wrapped around in lies, we stand there voiceless.
We want to leave our lives, until we find a way.
Searching for the light for eternity
As the song ended, Serenity cried a little. Yami held her close. "That was also beautiful," He said. Serenity held his arm, laying her head on his shoulder.
"Yami?"
"Yes?"
"Don't leave yet."
"Don't worry. I won't."
