People often say that on the end, you will remember not the grandest things but those small things that made great impact on your life.
As I was falling, I can't help but remember a song I heard on the one of the worlds I travelled before.
A song very fitting for the end.
I 've been watching you
For some time
I met him in a 'pre-orchestrated' accident
And some cruel twist of fate
A fact that we won't know until quite some time later
Can't stop staring
At those oceans eyes
He appeared before me in a flash.
With apricot hair and ocean eyes.
A very hard character to miss
Burning cities
And napalm skies
How can I describe him?
One moment, he's friendly and laughing
The next moment, I don't know what he's thinking
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
Like an ocean who's appearance is deceiving
One moment calm, the next, stormy
You won't know how deep
Unless you dive in
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
It was a mess. I am a mess.
My mind knew what to do - to not trust him at all
To avoid him at all cost.
My heart tells otherwise.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Like a bird who lost it's flight, I felt helpless.
Down and down I go.
Deeper and deeper I dive.
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
How do I stop myself from falling?
How do I stop myself from drowning?
How do I stop myself from loving you?
I've been walking through
A world gone blind
I woke up in this strange world - alone.
But I never felt as lost as I was now.
Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind
I wonder what are you thinking?
Have you already plotted what would you do with me?
Or...
Did it ever crossed your mind that I would fall for you?
Careful creature
Made friends with time
I wasn't aware of time before
Because time for me has been indefinite.
Now, I count the days, hours, minutes
Because I know the time that we have is limited
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes
Unasked questions piled up as I stare at your eyes
Questions that if answered will end what we have
Tell me, what should I do?
Tell me
Save me...
No fair
Hey Childe, is that even your name?
I don't really know
It's unfair
You really know how to make me cry
You make my mind a mess
My heart, stormy
I don't know what to do
I don't know what can I do
When you gimme those ocean eyes
Why did you appear?
Why did you have to be friendly?
Most are faked but those sincere rare smiles,
why did you have to show it to me?
I'm scared
I'm terrified.
I've never fallen from quite this high
I've never felt like this before
I've never been like this before
I'm lost
Confused
Flustered
I'm scared.
Falling into your ocean eyes
As I stare at your eyes, blue like the ocean, deep and dangerous.
I'm being pulled, deeper and deeper.
I know I'm drowning but I can't save myself
Rather, I won't.
I'll drown willingly.
Those ocean eyes
"Hey Childe"
I croaked weakly as blood smears my mouth. My body lying limply in your arms.
You looked at me with your eyes, still and as blue as ocean but beneath lies your true emotions. Pained. Hurt. Guilty. Regretting.
I smiled as my strength allows me. I'm quite happy that I'm not seeing one of your faked smiles.
"Have you remembered that day when you teased me to sing?" I continued.
Confusion clouds your face. I know what you're thinking. Why am I mentioning it on this moment, in the brink of my life and death.
"I told you - " I was interrupted as I coughed some more blood. You looked like you were about to cry.
"Lumine, I can tease you again later, for now, we have to-" You were interrupted as I touched your cheeks with my palm. Warm. You're warm and that alone made me smile.
"I told you, over my dead body" I chuckled because of the irony.
Your expression became stormy, more than before.
Before you can respond, I selfishly started to sing. A song that fits you like it's written just for you.
A song fitting to an end.
My end.
"No fair"
I'm sorry for being unfair.
"You really know how to make me cry"
Thank you for making me happy
"When you gimme those ocean eyes"
"I'm scared"
Thank you for giving me courage.
"I've never fallen from quite this high"
Thank you letting me know what love is
"Falling into your ocean eyes"
Thank you for letting me fall
As my vision starts to darken, your face that I know so well starts to get blurry.
I'm glad that I can at least see your eyes.
Those ocean eyes
