~~-Based off a song
Song: Cecily Smith
(I have never watched this musical. I also edited some lyrics so they rhymed. I also cut two so... Changed Kurapika's last name to Smith)
100k special!!!

The war was over, I was living with my folks. I yelled upstairs, "Hey mom, I'm off to grab some smokes!" And my father called, "Why you need to smoke so late?" Well, I'd lied, I had a date.

Free from folk's enslavement, I skipped along the pavement. To see a blonde, who I had never met. But I never would forget, how he had been dressed. How he stuck out his hand and said, "My name is Kurapika Smith and I hope you like music. 'Cause I've got two tickets to La Traviata." That's when I said, "I hate opera."

He laughed and said, "Well lucky for you, that you're with Kurapika Smith. Who cares what you are listening to, it's who your listening with."

So we take our seats, his hands folded in his lap. If not a kiss, then I at least will get a nap. So I close my eyes as the orchestra begins. Then I hear violins.

And the hair on my neck was rising. A feeling new and surprising. But it wasn't the sound that made my heart pound. No, his hand was in mine. And that's where it will stay until they play the final cord. He says, "Were you bored?"  And I say, "I guess it wasn't quite so bad." It was the best time that I ever had.

He laughed and said, "Well lucky for you, I got seats to Beethoven's Fifth. Who cares what you are listening to, it's who your listening with."

The time exploded like a bullet from a gun. A week, a year, and then a marriage, and two sons. And a rental where I can still hear his laugh, when I play the phonograph.

So I let the music guide me. And Kurapika sits beside me. A boy of nineteen and a nervous marine. Feel his head begin to lean, as the melody soars.

And though it was real, it doesn't feel like it could be. That night when you said to me, that I've got tickets for La Traviata.

It's sad but true, how much I miss you. I miss you Kurapika Smith. Life is not the things that we do. It's who we're doing them with.
