Lyrics
Fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return
Think I'll take another day
And slowly watch it burn
It doesn't really matter how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and I
And that beautiful goodbye
The night air cut through Syaoran's skin, and yet the pain never came. He was numb inside and out.
His face was a pale white… his hair and clothing in disarray, and his heart slightly shattered.
There wasn't much to be really upset about, he mused. Or maybe there was…
Things never seemed right when people died either at his hands or another's… it still didn't make much since how life was these days. Killings made him weak… although, Sakura had all ready proved that he wasn't as strong as he seemed…
Sakura…
He closed his eyes… ~ wonder where she is now. ~
She could be any where… the world was a huge place. Could she be back home? Could she be flying through the sky? Could she be in a better place?
Who knew? He surely didn't know, and maybe it was better that he didn't.
We staggered through these empty streets
Laughing arm in arm
The night had made a mess of me
Your confession kept me warm
And I don't really miss you. I just need to know
Do you ever think of you and I
And that beautiful goodbye
The wind tugged at his body, and sent shivers down his spine. "Wondered when you would be coming out here."
"I'm only checking up on you, Syaoran. I know this is a hard blow."
"Nothing big."
"Nothing big?! How can you say that?"
"Because, it was nothing big. It never had been. Stop shouting at me. I seem to have a headache coming on."
"I know you better than that… don't act as if you can't feel for, we all know you can."
"I…"
"Stop talking, and feel for once, goddamn it!"
The words shot through him like a bullet… ^just feel for once, goddamn it! Just feel… ^
His amber eyes suddenly began to water. ~It's just the wind… ~
His sight started to get blurry. ~It's just fog coming. ~
His stomach lurched. ~Bad food… ~
His heart raced. ~Sakura… ~
"Only I can make you cry," the woman mumbled holding onto him.
"I love you, Sakura. God, I love you."
"I know."
"I really thought you left."
"I would never leave you, Syaoran. Never."
When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye
"At the hospital I wanted to die. I almost beat the shit out of those nurses when they told me you had ran off."
She smiled. "I knew you would."
"Where did you go?"
"I just needed to think for a while… meeting death in the face, even for a moment, makes you think. I need to finish some more business of my own."
"So do I."
"So it's good-bye for now?"
"Never good-bye… only see you later."
In these days of no regrets
I keep mine to myself
And all the things we never said
I can say for someone else
Nothing lasts forever, but we always try
And I just can't help but wonder why
We let it pass us by
She kissed his lips…tasting his soul. "See you later."
He bit his lip, blood flowing from the wound. "See you later."
She turned and walked down the stairs. "This isn't good-bye."
He looked towards the burning sky once more. "It will never be good-bye."
He balled his fists, his knuckles turning a bright white… He ran quickly, jumping over many steps till he walked out into the cruel outside…
"Too late. She's gone, " he mumbled.
When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye
Syaoran closed his eyes picturing Sakura's face one last time… before he shut everything out.
Baby, what can I do?
To get through to you
And sometimes I cry
It's a fools' lullaby
Sometimes I cry
It's just a fools' lullaby
I'm trying yourself
Hey…
He walked back into the building, shoulders held high. With his guns loaded, he packed his stuff. Walking towards his car, he felt to arms grab his neck forcefully.
He smirked as the person threatened him… the man wanted money, but he would get more than that.
~*~
Walking away from the spot where a fresh new body laid, Syaoran smiled.
It felt good. Damn, did it ever feel good. He was back, and as good as new.
"So long, Neptune. Hello Saturn," he said grabbing his bags and getting into the jet.
Looking down towards the land once more before the jet took off he saw a young woman dressed in black. Her jade eyes shot through him.
She smiled softly, but then smirked as two heavy policemen dragged her towards a police jet.
She mouthed. "It's not good-bye."
Yeah. Life was good again.
Both jets took off… both in different directions. Who knew that the two would meet again sooner than they thought?
