AN: Okay, this one is slightly angsty, so yeah...
One Thousand Words
Pri's POV
I hummed the song quietly, my turn being up next. The Christmas Musical was held at our local church every year. And every year, I tried out. And every year,
I sat in the audience. Except this year: this year, I was part of the play. The excitement of the crowd, the nervous voices and murmurs of the performers,
and the applause that followed.
I looked out at the crowd, picking up the silver head of Riku immidiently. Sasha sat beside him, watching, and at times whispering something in her boyfriend's ear.
I looked for him, searching for his big grin, his blue eyes full of excitement, and his impatient wait. But he wasn't there; I knew he wouldn't be.
We were growing apart, and he knew it. We would see less and less of each other as the days passed us by.
I finally gave up on trying to find him. I was up next, and I needed to calm down.
"Miss Priscilla Lyneski will be singing the song '1000 Words' up next." Came the voice of Bella, our MC for the evenning. She as a quiet, mousy girl with short red hair.
I walked onto the stange accompanied by polite applause and the cheers of my two friends.
My brown hair swung from side to side gently as I walked up to the mic and picked it up.
I took a deep breath, let it out, and started.
"I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me."
My mind switched over to him and an image of him wearing his big, goofy grin appeared.
"Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me,"
Why did you go?
"Not that easily."
Why did you leave me?
"I acted so distant then,
Didn't say goodbye before you left."
I thought you loved me.
"But I was listening,"
And I loved you.
"You'll fight your battles far from me,"
But yet you still left.
"Far too easily..."
You left without a word.
"'Save your tears cause I'll come back'
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door,"
But most of all, you left me.
"But still I swore,"
You left me heartbroken.
"To hide the pain when I turn back the pages,"
Over you.
"Shouting might have been the answer,
What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart...
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart.
'Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever
Oh a thousand words(a thousand words)
Have never been spoken(oh yeah)
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home(carry you home)and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings(on silver wings!)
And a thousand words (oh)
Call out through the ages(call through the ages!)
They'll cradle you(oh yeah)
Turning all of the lonely years to only days(only days)
They'll hold you forever
Oh a thousand words..."
But I will still remember you. Always.
