Chapter 3: Surprise Song
A few hours since Crane returned, Mei Ling realized that she was writing a song about her feelings for him. When he saw her going outside, he was following her until she sat on top of the hill with the wind blowing in her face. He stood behind her and said, "Nice night, isn't it? Great place to sort of, you know, get away from it."
She turned around and saw Crane behind her, both laughing. She answered, "Yeah, same here. It's amazing. I like coming out here at night, just thinking about everything."
Crane sat down next to her and looked at the view. He whispered, "Wow. This view is spectacular."
"Well, you know. It's pretty much beautiful.... just like you."
Crane blushed a little and smiled a little, with a small chuckle. He looked at her and asked, "Is there anything going on since I was away?"
"Not much. I just wrote a song about you and it emphasizes how I feel about you."
"Really? Do you have it with you?" asked Crane.
Mei brought out her song out from her pocket, gave it to Crane to look at and he liked it a lot. He starts singing the first verse of the song.
Crane: A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like a lunar landing
Make me want to run till I find you
Mei Ling: I shut the world away from here
Drift to you, you're all I hear
Everything we know fades to black
Both: Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
Mei Ling: Find the place where we escape
Take you with me for a space
The city buzz, sounds just like a fridge
Crane: I walk the streets through seven bars
I had to find just where you are
The faces seems to blur, they're all the same
Both: Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
Crane: So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me out
We shall overcome
Mei Ling: So all have stayed in place
We should have had the sun
Could have been inside
Instead we're over here
Both: Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time, too long defending
You and I are done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything will change
Crane: I, oh I, I
wish this could last forever
Mei Ling: I, oh I, I
As if we could last forever
Both: Love remains the same
Love remains the same
They both looked at each other and chuckled softly and Crane clared his throat and said, "That's a great song you've written."
"You like it?" asked Mei.
"I loved it."
"Thank you."
They both looked at the moon together, while holding hands together and realize that they are simply meant to be together, thanks for a little something called confidence.
The song is "Love Remains the Same" from Gavin Rossdale. It's the inspiration for this. R&R, please!
