Against All Odds
An ExT Songfic.
By Kitty-Euphoria
How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath, with you
You're the only one who really knew me at all
A woman, with waist length raven hair, lavender eyes, dressed in a ankle length black dress, stood at a grave, covered in blue flowers and a few white roses. She added her light lavender flowers to the group.
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'cause we shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Tears fell down her porcelain face, and she smiled bitterly. "You think leaving will help? You think I'll become stronger? Well, I'm weak now.. How could you.. ?"
A car pulled up behind her. "Tomoyo-chan?" a voice called out. It just started to rain, the person was blocked out by white umbrella with small pink blossoms on the rims.
"Are you okay? I mean it's the aniverserary of.."
"Shut up, I know. Just, leave, Sakura-chan." her voice harsh. The other girl got back into the car and left.
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
just the memory of your face
Her hair was matted to her face now, and the tearlines were washed away. "How could you leave me just when I needed you? The marriage, I.. needed you there! Just because it wasn't how you wanted it!" she lashed out at the name on the tombstone.
Take a look at me now
there's just an empty space
you coming back to me is against the odds
and that's what I've gotta face
A hand grasped her shoulder. "Tomoyo, it's time to go." she turned to the dark navy hair, azure eyes, spectacled male, "Okay Eriol. We need to work on our aniverserary plans, it's a few weeks away."
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
"Are you sure you're ready to go?"
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
"Yes, just.. help me, get through this."
Take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
"I will." he wiped the moss off the tombstone, wiped her hair off her face, and smiled at her.
Take a look at me now
I'm just standing here
And you coming back to me
Is against the odds
And that's a chance I've got to face

So take a look at me now
Take a look at me now.
"Good bye, 'kaa-san."
