sIn Martin's POV.

Without You:

No I can't forget this evening

Or your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes it shows

I saw you the moment after your head hit that wall in Marshank. There was surprise, and pain. I could almost see your soul filter out of your body. It only lasted a second, then your lovely hazel eyes closed, and never opened again. I never forgot that, for as long as I lived. Was it only hours ago when you laughed and smiled at me back at camp?

No I can't forget tomorrow

When I think of all my sorrow

When I had you there but then I let you go

And now it's only fair that I should let you know

What you should know

When I awoke after the battle with Badrang, I realized what had happened. I cried and cried. I was angry. I had a chance to let you know that I loved you, and now, I had nothing. Why was it always me who sorrow chose to land on? First my mother, then my father, then my grandmother... and now you. What had I promised your mother? "And I'll take far greater care protecting her life than I will my own." Right.

I can't live

If living is without you

I can't live

I can't give anymore

I can't live

If living is without you

I can't give

I can't give anymore

I didn't want to live anymore. There was no point. I had no one to love, no one to kiss, no one to whisper my secrets to. I wished that the wounds that Badrang had inflicted had killed me, so that we could be reunited at the Dark Forest. But alas, it was not to be. Fate had other plans for me.

Well I can't forget this evening

Nor your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes it shows

Was that you, who persuaded Fate to let me be happy again? I was, but I never forgot that day in Noonvale, or your sweet sweet voice. Sometimes, when I stand on the battlements of the abbey I built, I can hear your voice ringing out across the stillness. I dream, a lot. I see again and again that look on your face as you died. Then I see you, alive. You smile, but there is a sadness in your eyes. Your lips move, but I can hear nothing.

I can't live

If living is without you

I can't live

I can't give anymore

I can't live

If living is without you

I can't live

I can't give anymore

I cant live

If living is without you

I cant live without you

It's almost time. A dark gate rises up in front of me. I see you, waiting on the other side. I can live again. My heart no longer feels guilt. I'm coming Rose, I'm coming...
