lyrics

Last Wish

The pain that seared through me was almost too much to bear. But I had promised. I promised Blue that I would take care of you, Pops. And I intended to keep it. But then we ran into Darcia. When he aimed his gun at you I knew what I had to do. I had to protect you.

I died for you
I'd do it all again if I had to
To show you what you really mean to Me
I cried for you
I hung on the cross so you wouldn't have to
I made a way to set your spirit free

Even though the pain was intense, I wouldn't hesitate a moment if I had the chance to live through it again. Shakily I rose to my feet and began the trek to your side. Each step I took was accented with splashes of bright crimson liquid. My blood. It's getting harder to walk now. I fall to my knees, weak with bloodloss. Determined, I dragged on with the last of my strength.

That's how much I love you
That's how much I want you
I gave up my own life that you might live
That's how much I love you
That's how much I want you to see
You are My Friend and you mean so much to Me

All I ever wanted was to show you I cared. To prove to you that I was not the wolf of your nightmares. When I finally reached your side I was exhausted. I lay down beside you, resting my head on your arm. I was so tired, so sleepy.

"Let me sleep for a moment." I mumbled to you closing my eyes.

I gave you the stars
The sun, the moon, yes I went that far
So no matter where you go you think of Me
The mountains fair
The beautiful oceans are there
To remind you that I can satisfy your every need

I felt a hand caress my head. I knew it was you. I felt myself slip into oblivion. I ran through a rolling green pasture. In the distance a solitary figure stood. The sun warmed my back as I raced to the old woman who raised me.

That's how much I love you
That's how much I want you
I gave up my own life that you might live
That's how much I love you
That's how much I want you to see
You are My Friend and you mean so much to Me

I had entered my paradise with Pops by my side, stroking me. He drew as much comfort from the action as he gave to me in my dying moments. My last thoughts as I contentedly closed my eyes in my final paradise were for Pops.

'I hope his paradise is as beautiful as mine.'
