"Promise me that you'll stay with me forever, Tom."
"I promise, Ginny, forever."
The
years flash by, today melts to yesterdays memories,
Time's
holding us tight
I'm looking back to remember the days we said
we'd never say goodbye.
Ginny awoke to the dizzying sunshine that poured into her small, cramped room, which chased away the last fleeting echoes of Tom's promises. She marveled, not for the firsts time, at how even in dreams his distinct tenor voice could make her shiver.
And now
you're gone, my hands melt to yesterday's melodies
Time's pushing
along,
Still looking back to hold on to the days we said we'd
never say goodbye.
And dreams were all that she had of him. It has been more than 5 years since she had last heard from him, and yet the childish, but fervent words of her youth came back to haunt her nightly under the disguise of dreams. When she was feeling particularly despondent, she had wondered if he still possessed the powers to send her those dreams – soley for the purpose of mocking her for her naivete; forever taunting while remaining out of reach. In her more optimistic moments, however, she was thankful for the last remaining link to the boy with whom she was still rather desperately in love with.
She knew it was silly for her to still dwell on her childish infatuation for so long, but she was still trying to piece together the shattered pieces of her heart. Forever, her bruised heart cried out indignantly, he promised me forever.
And though he had broken that promise, she still believed in it.
Sometimes
I feel like we've been running too far from the truth
You know
I'm tired of hearing 'another day another time'
All this
senseless waiting won't fill these dark empty rooms,
Why won't
you come home?
