Chapter 8 – All You Wanted

I wanted to be like you,
I wanted everything,
So I tried to be like you,
And I got swept away.

I never thought I was ever anything special, I felt like just a girl, compared to how powerful you were. I always wanted to be like you, I always wanted to be as strong, and maybe then, you'd notice me.

I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone
to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the tide comes
I'd take you away

No matter how much I tried to be like you, it never worked. I always did get stronger, but I was never like you. I was always so frustrated at myself for not getting you to notice me. And then getting more frustrated after realizing how obsessive I sounded, like one of his fan girls. After training got harder and harder as the days passed, I gave up on trying to be like you.

I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone
to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the tide comes
I'd take you away

Where you go when you're gone

I've realized how hard it was to be you and how much more you would need me than I would need you. So I decided to be your 'shoulder to cry on' and try to pry into your emotions. That didn't work at all either.

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

And I don't want to force you to, but if you want, I'll save you from everything. I'll make sure that you're okay and save you from yourself.

All you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be there

I just want you to know that I'll always be there for you, no matter what happens. I'll be your shoulder to cry on, if you need it, and I'll be your friend. And I hope that someday, we'll be more than that, that someday, I would be able to confess my love to you freely, without any second thoughts.

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares

But right now, I'll stay, loving you from afar, but secretly, I've always wanted you to know

Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone.

That I love you and that I'll never let you go.

Authors Note: Hi everyone! It's me again; hope you didn't miss me that much. I know, I know, I haven't updated in so long, but I'll just use the usual excuses, school work, chores, and boy problems. But, I finally got an idea after listening to that song on my iPod. So I've decided to make use of that idea and write this. Isn't it greatt? So, anyway, I know there were some parts that were kinda random, but I lost track of some things. That happens a lot when you talk to people on AIM. So anyway I hope you liked it, I think it's been the longest ever, which is pretty good for me. All of they are pretty short, though.

Lots of Love
