First songfic, GraystripexSilverstream. Song is Far Away by Nickelback.
He never thought it would end like that.
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Like a blink of an eye.
And then she was gone.
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
Graystripe stared out across the cliff into the clear night sky, his eyes, large discs in the darkness, reflected the display of stars painted across his sight.
"Silverstream…"
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Without meaning to, the name slipped his lips and his eyes widened. "Are you there?" He whispered to the night, his words carried away by the wind, ruffling his fur as he felt a single tear slip down his cheek.
"Why did you have to go?"
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
He searched the sky for any reply, any sign, that she was listening to him.
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
"Why did you take her away?"
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
Graystripe's claws dug into the cold earth.
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
"You took her away…you took her away from me…"
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
He raised his head to the sky, tears falling from his face.
"I loved her and you killed her!" He screamed, sobs raking his body.
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
He lowered his gaze to the drop below, the towering cliff, to the bottom nearly twenty feet down. He tore his gaze away, eyes clenched shut.
"I could be with you…"
He leaned over the side, eyes pained.
"Graystripe!" Fireheart grabbed him by the scruff right before he took a step off of the cliff. "What are you thinking!"
"A lot," He whispered hoarsely.
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
"Come back to camp," Fireheart said, nudging his friend. Graystripe nodded, and trudged away.
And as he turned his head back to the cliff, he thought he saw a beautiful silver she-cat glowing like the moon, sitting there smiling softly at him.
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving
Hold on to me and
never let me go
