Melodies of Life: The Ending and Then Some.
By : Lizzy

Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark, For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart, To weave by picking up the pieces that remain, Melodies of Life- Love's lost refrain. Right there, from my balcony, I saw a figure. I knew it must have been you. You promised me you'd come back. And I waited too. I ran to the doors of my balcony. And the doors we're opened in a formal matter. I ran down the steps and out the main doors in such a clatter. Pushing through the crowd remembering....

Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why. We, met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye. And who'll hear the echos of stories never told? Let them ring out loud until they unfold. I remembered when we first met, the adventure we had, the love that had grown between us, and that sad goodbye. I'd go through it all again just to see you once more.

In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me. Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name. I dreampt about you often. Even though you weren't there I could still hear you calling to me... A voice from the past, joining yours and mine. Adding up the layers of harmony. And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life, To the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond.

Remember that day, I sang. You appeared and watched as all the birds flew away to forever and beyond. And I sang my song again just for you and I'd do it again too. So far and away, see the birds as it flies away. Gliding through the shadows of th clouds up in the sky. I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings. Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings. I watched for you each day and time flew past like birds in the sky. Now this is it I will see you again at last...

In my dearest memories, do you remember loving me? Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind? I ran through the crowd some more, accidently hitting someone knocking my pendant away from me. I stared at it closed my eyes and decided I don't need it to be with you. I ran some more. And then I saw you standing there... you never changed since I last saw you. A voice from the past, joining yours and mine. Addding up the layers of harmony. And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life, To the sky beyond the flying bird - forever and on.

I ran down the final steps throwing off my headband. I called yor name and dove into your arms, and clung to you never wanting to let go. Then you smiled at me. I hugged you again, then pounded your shoulder with my fist. You stroked my hair with your hand, then hugged me again. If I should leave this lonely world behind, Your voice will still remember our melody. Now I know we'll carry on. Melodies of life, Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, as long as we remember.

Then a cheer rose from everyone in the crowd, and everyone was there. Vivi, Eiko, Freija, Quina,and Amarant, everyone form our adventures. It felt perfect. Then you stroked my hair again and held me tight,and I inhaled the scent of you.Then Beatrix and Steiner raised the Sword up above the balcony shining it's light through Alexandria.Then you looked at me again. I knew you would keep your promise. And this happened All because.....you came back. Why did you help? There's no need for a reason to help.... ...we've got to keep on living. For the sake of returning to that place someday. That is why... ...I'm singing... ...that very song.

THE END

It's the end. No. It's only the beginning for them.
