A/N: First songfic, maybe not the usual use of the song, but there it be. I don't own FFX, X-2, or anything Cascada-related. Though I must thank the above for their total awesomeness.
She stirred from her sleep, waking once again into the cool darkness of the night. There was a peace in the air that the world had not seen for ten years, but she knew, as she had known the nights before, that it could not calm the turmoil aching inside her. Always there were dreams…memories haunting the nights which should have been her solace.
I still hear your
voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my
dreams…
Yes, the world had a new peace, but at what price to her had it come? She would have given her life…but this?
Forgive me my
weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive.
She sighed, rising from her bed and treading carefully outside. Walking at the very least helped her gather the thoughts, push them aside for a few more hours' rest.
But oh…how she missed him. Every little touch, every simple kiss…the merest memory of them sent her simultaneously to the edge of tears and the limits of joy.
'Cause
everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I
swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast-
I
want this to last.
Need you by my side.
There was no real life without him, she knew that. It was just…so wrong without his arms around her. She needed him, wanted his touch in more than dreams…
'Cause
everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I
reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat slow-
I can't
let you go.
Want you in my life.
Another sigh escaped her lips as she wandered out of the village, following the time and foot-worn path up the mountain rising near the center of the island. It just felt so…empty out there without the footsteps she had grown so accustomed to by her side. She felt…vulnerable for the first time in her life; though it was the time she should have felt safest. The terror which had plagued her world for centuries was finished, gone…but so was he.
Your
arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears
that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them
all.
You make me rise when I fall.
She leaned on the rope separating the small promontory from the jungle below, closing her eyes in pain. How could they have asked this of her? Her life, fine enough, but him…?
'Cause
everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I
swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast-
I
want this to last.
Need you by my side.
A light wind swept gently around her, shaking her hair back from her face, and for a moment, she swore she could feel him there. Her heart beat in her chest, fighting back the surge of hope the breeze brought.
'Cause
everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I
reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat slow-
I can't
let you go.
Want you in my life.
"Tidus…" she whispered, reaching into the darkness for the one she knew was not there, would never be there again. With a final play of her hair, the wind died, leaving her standing alone beneath the stars twinkling coldly above her, the peace of the night driving daggers into her soul…
'Cause
everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I
swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast-
I
want this to last.
Need you by my side.
…a single tear their blood.
