Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I sat in my cabin, thinking about Percy for the billionth time in five minutes. I'd just gotten home from looking for my lost boyfriend, Jason Piper and Leo had apparently had a "fun" time on their quest, but I had been too distracted to listen. I looked on the walls near my bed. There was that old picture of Thalia, Luke, and I, the one of me and Thalia together, the picture of Grover, me and...Percy, and I looked at the last picture. It was the one of Percy and I sitting next to each other on the docks at sunset, holding hands and laughing. I put my hand out and traced his face, holding back tears. "Where are you?" I whispered, knowing I'd never get an answer.
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
I've tried Iris messaging him more times than I can count and each time I've gotten little connection. Once I heard a low growl that sounded like a dog or a wolf or something. Another time I heard a faint, "Huh?" and then the connection cut out. So I know he's out there, somewhere, I just have to find him. I looked back at the picture, at his goofy grin, and his beautiful sea green eyes, and his messy hair that made you know that he was good natured. Itraced his face again and finally let the tears fall.
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
"Gods," I thought, "I hope no one comes in and sees me like this." I had a thing about pride, and me, crying, would do serious damage to my reputation as a fearless, strong, dependable leader. But the problem? I wasn't fearless, I was anything but, being fearless was Percy's job. There was virtually nothing he was afraid of... Right?
It leads me to where you lay
I tried my best to dry my red, tear-streaked face, and pulled my hair back up. I needed to come up with another plan to find Percy. ASADP (As Soon As Demi-godly Possible). I looked back in the mirror, my face was still red, but slightly less than it was minutes before. I started to sit down at my work desk to devise another plan when suddenly, Piper burst in, a worried look on her face.
"What's up?" I asked her. She started to say something when Jason and Leo burst in behind her.
Jason started to say something, "We think we know where-"
But Leo cut him off, "YOUR BOYFRIEND!"
"Percy?" I asked, bewildered and hoping beyond hope that this wasn't just some sick prank, because if it was, three idiotic demigods should be running for their lives right about now.
"Yes," Piper said boldly, "Percy."
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home
Perseus Jackson, you sure are tough to find, but once I've got a lead there's no stopping me. I'm coming to get you, Seaweed Brain, you can count on it.
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
[Chorus]
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
[Chorus]
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
People die, but real love is forever.
