My first presentable songfic! Go me!
Alrighty, my inspiration is Katharine McPhee from American Idol, and the original song is by Queen.
Also, "Things Change" NEVER happened...
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, Katharine McPhee, or Queen.

Who Wants to Live Forever?
There's no time
for us
There's no place for us
The stone casing crumbles to the hard floor, and she is standing there. Her soft smile, her blonde hair radiant. One word is on her lips.
"Beast Boy." She holds out a hand, and he reaches for it... but it is too far away. He tries to move closer, but he can't.
"Terra."
What is this
thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us?
She smiles again, moving closer to him.
"I've missed you..."
He's still not close enough. He can't grab the hand that he desperately wants to hold.
Who wants to
live forever
Who wants to live forever...?
"Terra, help me... come back..."
"I'm not gone, Beast Boy. I'm always here. I'm with you forever..."
There's no
chance for us
It's all decided for us
"But Terra... you're not... I don't see you..."
"I'm there, Beast Boy. Not physically, but I am."
"Why don't I get a choice?"
She only smiles, but sadly this time.
This world has
only one sweet moment
set aside for us...
"Please, Terra, just once, for a minute... come back. I know what you can do. I know you can."
"I wish... really, I do..."
Who
wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares
to love forever?
When love must die...
"It's just not possible, Beast Boy, you need to know that. You need to know and accept that, and move on with your life."
He stares incredulously at this girl he once knew, the girl who betrayed him, but who had taught him that it was never too late to change...
But touch my
tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
"You're lying, Terra. Stop it!" His voice got louder with every word. "STOP IT!"
She sighs and slowly closes her eyes.
And we can have
forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
"I'm there, Beast Boy, I'm always there. In memories... and a part of me will always be in the earth, everywhere. Always with you."
Little by little, she starts to back up.
"Wait, Terra, wait!"
But she only opens her eyes and stares at him, the angelic smile returning to her face.
Who wants to
live forever...
Who wants to live forever?
And she was an angel, glowing in life, glowing in death.
She fades, ever so gradually, until there is nothing there but the pile of rock.
Forever is our
today.
Who waits forever anyway?
His eyes sprang open. He looked around. Where did she go?
Then he realized... he was in his bedroom.
"Terra."
--------------------
Argh, I didn't know how to end that! I love the ending with just "Terra" but I wanted to have him realize that she was right and he should get on with his life... gahh... oh, well.
Oh, also, I hope you
got the insinuations that it was a DREAM/VISION.
Review, review, review! Flames are welcome and appreciated! Just please give reasons. (Ex: I HATED THIS! because...)
