When You're Gone, Avril Lavigne
6 Months Before...
He looked good in his army suit, but at the moment, I wasn't thinking about how good he looked. I was thinking about the fact that he was going off to war, the fact that he might not ever come back.
The tears poured down at a faster pace than before; he cupped my cheek with his hand. "I love you. I love you both." He said, referring to me, and our unborn child, "I promise I'll come back. Always." then he leaned down and kissed my lips despite the fact that I was trembling. I didn't want him to go.
I clung to him, and whispered, "Don't go." he stroked my hair back, and pulled me to him.
"I'll be back." Was the last thing he said to me before walking down the walkway, and to the army bus.
He was gone.
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
Now that you're gone, I realize just how much I really need you. For everything.
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
I watched him walk down the walkway, it seemed like everything was in slow motion. I rested my hand on my stomach, sat on the porch, and cried my eyes out.
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you
Please come back, Casey! I miss you, so much. Talking on the phone occasionally isn't enough. Not nearly.
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do
I can't even wash the dishes without breaking down, I want you back. Now.
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
I watched him walk down the walkway, it seemed like everything was in slow motion. I rested my hand on my stomach, sat on the porch, and cried my eyes out.
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it okay
I miss you
Please come back, Casey! I miss you, so much. Talking on the phone occasionally isn't enough. Not nearly.
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
It's obvious we were made for each other. I love you, and no one else.
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah
I do anything! Just come back, Casey, please!
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
All the words I need to hear will always get me through
The day and make it okay
I miss you
Please come back, Casey! I miss you, so much. Talking on the phone occasionally isn't enough. Not nearly.
6 Months Later...
I lie curled up on the couch, it was 5:00, and between making runs to the bathroom because of the baby, and filling out piles of paperwork, I was exhausted. Plus, I hadn't spoke to Casey in 2 weeks, 3 days, 16 hours, and about 17 and a half minutes. The last time I did talk to him, it was rushed, like he was too busy for me.
I hate the army.
The front door rattled, and I immediately reached for my gun, stood, and pointed it at the door. A few seconds later, it slipped open, and I dropped the weapon, and ran straight into Casey's arms. He wrapped his arms around me, and I pulled away a second to survey him. He was alive. Very much alive.
Tears ran down my face, and he carefully pushed them away, "I hope those are tears of joy." I nodded, slowly, then ecstatically, grabbing him by the front of his shirt, and kissing him feverishly.
"I missed you."
Wow...when's the last time I updated this? It seems like forever. You guys are lucky, actually, I almost killed Casey off, but I'd cried enough when I wrote this (deep down I'm a softie :D) so I decided not to.
If you haven't heard the song, listen to it, if you haven't seen the video, see it! But you might want to prepare the tears before hand. :D
Also, just a survey-type question thing, am I the only 8th grader here? Are you guys all high schoolers? 'Cause that would seriously make me feel...small. ;D
Hope you guys enjoyed!
I don't want chocolate, or cake, (although it WOULD be appreciated...) I just want reviews, and updates. ;D
Thank you!
xoxo
