13: Waste Not Away (October 6, 2003)

"Waste Away" by Yih

I know you don't want to think about tomorrow
But it is another day
And whether you make it a new beginning or not
It will come like any other day

The sun will rise, the darkness will fade
And you have the choice to decide
If you'll stay and mourn inside
Or come out and live once again

You know I want to see you live again
You know I can't stand to see you sad
It breaks my heart, it makes me cry
You know I want to see you live again

I know you don't want to think about tomorrow
But it is another day
And whether you make it a new beginning or not
It will come like any other day

You know he wouldn't want you to waste away
Not alone, not here, not now, not when
He loved you as much as you loved him
You know he wouldn't want you to waste away

I know you don't want to think about tomorrow
But it is another day
And whether you make it a new beginning or not
It will come like any other day

You know he wouldn't want you to waste away
Not alone, not here, not now, not when
He loved you as much as you loved him
You know he wouldn't want you to waste away

I know you don't want to think about tomorrow
But it is another day
And whether you make it a new beginning or not
It will come like any other day

It was hard to pen this song.  It was his good-bye song to Harry.  Good-bye Harry.  It was the conclusion.  Good-bye Harry.  It was so hard to write.  But it had to be said.  There had to be a conclusion.  There had to be a good-bye. 

This was it.  He couldn't even write it from his point of view, he wrote it in the point of view of an observer of himself.  But he still wrote it.  He felt Harry would have been proud of him, if he ever could hear the song.  He hoped he did.  Despite it's sad lyrics, the music behind it was hopeful. 

It was nothing like the darkness of "Numb Nothing".  Nothing indeed.  It was not a happy song; it was not a sad song.  It was somewhere in between.  Somewhere in between where it fit Harry's life.  A life that was neither filled with joy nor filled with remorse. 

Perfect song for Harry. 

Good-bye Harry. 

Good-bye. 

Tomorrow would come like any other day.  And he would live it, live it for Harry.

The End

Author's Note: There will be no sequel.  I'm continuously creating new stories, so check out and see if I'll do another non-magic one or not.  I have no idea.  I haven't really thought of one yet.  Anyway, I loved the song for this one and it didn't fit anywhere but at the end, which is why there is this chapter.  Thanks, your reviews have meant a lot and I hope this story meant something.
