I do not own Percy Jackson or Memories by Within Temptation.
In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I'll pray to the gods: let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why
He did everything to protect me. He tried as hard as he could not to leave me alone like everyone else had. Remembering makes it easier to bear the pain.
All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears
I lie on my bed, staring at the ceiling. The silence envelops me, but I pretend that it's his arms. I remember what it felt like to have his arms around my waist. A tear runs down my cheek.
Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is away
To give me a sign you're okay
Reminds me again
It's worth it all
So I can go home
I remember the night we lay on a blanket in the forest, looking at the stars. He made me promise that if something happened to him, I wouldn't hurt myself. I laughed and told him that was silly, that nothing would ever happen to him. But I promised anyway. Now, as I look up at the stars, one of them looks a little brighter than the rest. It reminds me of his eyes, the way they would sparkle.
All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears
Tears mix with the rain on my face as I stare into the dark night. I pretend that he's here, holding my hand, telling me it will be alright.
Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I love you till the end of time
All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears
He was on his way home from work. He'd had parent teacher meetings, so he had to stay at the school late. The roads were icy. I remember the phone call, the man on the other end telling me that I had to come to the hospital immediately. But he was already dead when I got there.
I dressed in my short skirt black dress for the funeral, it had always been his favorite. I never wore it again after that. It was too painful.
Nicole was three when her daddy died. Sometimes she asks me about him, and I tell her just to remember him. She tells me that she can remember his laugh, and his arms lifting her up and spinning her. She says she remembers that he would read her stories at night.
And I tell her to hold on to that. Because the memories will keep him close to her.
I feel like this isn't as good as they usually are, so I'm sorry about that. I'm trying to upload every Wednesday night. I hope I did this awesome song justice.
