The Moment I Saw You Cry

By: LadyNightSky

Summary: Their friendship started when she, astonished, caught him crying over another girl. Their love blossomed even in the gray rain. Ri/Fl.


I'll always remember

She could recall the day so clearly…

It was late afternoon

Rain had been coming down in torrents from the gray heavens.

It lasted forever

In her mind's eye, she could still see him, silhouetted against the dreary sky, standing all alone on the balcony.

And it ended so soon

A single tear had torn down his white as death face, his violet eyes alight with pain. She'd never seen someone suffer like that.

You were all by yourself

He hadn't seen her till she was right next to him, a comforting hand on his cold arm.

Staring up at a dark gray sky

He hadn't pushed her away with his usual snappish retort. He had let his tears fall, unstopped.

I was changed

In places no one will find

She'd been his rock, his anchor to sanity.

All your feelings so deep inside

He'd been her confidante, the only person who'd known the face she'd presented to the world was fake.

It was there that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

Their friendship was secret.

The moment I saw you cry

The moment that I saw you cry

It was late in September

And I've seen you before

You were always the cool one

But I was never that sure


His lips soft and warm on hers. Their first kiss. A complete accident, but neither had been able to pull away.

You were all by yourself

Their love was secreter. Their friends never would've approved. Flora had belonged to Helia, and Riven to Musa.

Staring up at a dark gray sky

I was changed...


She'd changed him. He was still the tough guy, the guy that didn't care. But for her, he'd changed his heart.

In places no one would find

All your feelings so deep inside

Alone with him, she was no longer the shy one, the weak one, the one that faded into the background when surrounded with her friends' sparkle.

It was there that I realized

They hadn't known what to do. Each's heart was torn in half. One half wanted to be together. The other half wanted things to go back to the way they'd been.

That forever was in your eyes

But in the end, their love won.

The moment I saw you cry


She almost laughed about it now. The reason they'd become friends in the first place was because of Riven's girl problems. It was so ironic.

I wanted to hold you

Riven hadn't thought he was good enough for Musa. He was a commoner, she was a princess. She was compassionate and cultured, bold and emotional. He was everything but.

I wanted to make it go away

Until she'd shown him how much he'd really amounted to.

I wanted to know you

He hadn't believed her. It was always so hard to get him to believe someone really cared for him. Even when she'd confessed that she loved him, he'd hardly believed it.

I wanted to make your everything...alright

The first time he'd told her he loved her, blushing furiously, she'd nearly died from joy and barely suppressed laughter at his abashed ness.

I'll always remember

It was late afternoon

In places no one will find

She'd always felt guilty about betraying their friends. She'd known what they'd been doing was wrong, but she couldn't stop herself.

In places no one will find

And neither could he.

All your feelings so deep inside

Oh no no

Forever was in your eyes

In the end, even their guilt couldn't stand in their way.

It was there that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

The moment I saw you cry

Baby Cry!

The moment that I saw you cry

Oh no no

I think I saw you cry

The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to know you

I wanted to know you

"I love you," he'd whispered on their wedding night.

I wanted to know you

"I love you, too."
