Chapter 7
The Song
Cicada had an idea. He would get her into music again. He got her guitar out of its case and brought it into her room. "Hey." Delphine looked up from her novel. "Hello, Cicada." "Remember this?" "I remember my material things and stuff I've learned. I just don't remember events…and people." She grew silent. She ran her fingers across the guitar. "I miss this." "Go ahead." She picked it up. "Where's my CD player?" "Here you go." "There's a splitter if you want to listen with me." "Do you want to?" "Sure." He sat on the couch with her. She put the Punisher Soundtrack in and pressed play. Then she flipped it to her favorite song. "Do you like this song?" She asked. Cicada tried to speak, but the words got caught in his throat. This was "their" song. "Yeah, I guess." He began to sing to her.
I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh.
I wanna hold you high and steal your away.
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well.
I wanna hold you high and steal.
Delphine started to sing with him. It surprised him but he let her.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.
Gone away. You don't feel me here anymore.
"I want to try." "Sure."
The worst is over now.
And we can breathe again.
I wanna hold you high; you steal my pain away.
There's so much left to learn.
And no one left to fight.
I wanna hold you high and steal my pain.
She remembered the song…how could she remember it? Cicada looked at her and she smiled.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open.
And I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.
She was playing like she was normal. Cicada knew she had played for many years, but not in this condition. It was like when she forgot a song she'd go "Sorry guys, don't remember that one. Jeez, it's that memory of mine!" But she couldn't remember anything but that song.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open.
And I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.
How in the hell does she remember this? I have to ask Kisarami.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open.
And I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome.
And I don't feel right when you're gone.
Gone away.
You don't feel me here anymore.
The song was over. "I only like that song." She took the CD out. Cicada did not ask her anything, just let her go. Without warning he felt her lips fall onto his. Then she got up, apologized quietly, blushed, and tan out of the room into the kitchen.
Wow…r&r.
