Cavendish- We'll Never Meet

I gathered my clothing into a pile, walking into the bath wearing nothing at all. No one was around. I was alone, letting my (h/l) (h/c) hair free of its prison.

I settled into the warm water, relaxing against the wall separating the girls' bath from the boys'.

"The one and only has come
And there can only be one
And at last, I am here"

~~~

I heard a beautiful voice singing beyond the wall on the girls' side of the bath house. I couldn't believe my ears. Something more enticing than I have caught my attention. It caused me to show my own power through my melodious voice.

"Why can't I even breathe 
Standing in the wreckage
The rain, a lullaby
And so I close my ... eyes
Within this world,
If you wish to live another day,
You must disguise
As a flower that will captivate"

~~~

Suddenly, a gentle male voice echoed from the boys' bath, causing my ears to strain in attempt to identify the owner of the handsome voice as I kept singing.

"You, I want to believe,
But, I cannot believe
I'm powerless - I'm meaningless, like every scar
But as I cry, tears fill inside,
Right through my heart
Through it all, I can hear
Someone whispering, "come near"
All that I miss – it's infinite, and so I see,
Tomorrow's come, with a new sun,
Waiting for me"

~~~

I stood up, ignoring the stares of the other men, some mocking me, others listening intently. I sang with all my heart, in addition to memorizing that beautiful voice.

"The one and only has come
And there can only be one
And at last, I am here
There is a part of me,
That wants to forgive you
But I will not forget
I can't understand ... yet
Within this world,
If I were to live another day,
I must learn this song
And quickly learn to play along
If I want to believe,
I just need to believe"

~~~

I stood out of the water, singing strongly and proudly to the man behind the wall...

"Freedom's a lie - Even so, I
Must cross that line 
I'll scream it loud, barren, I shout,
"I'll make it mine"
And so I turn away,
From the truth that's in my way
Defy the gods - Despite the odds,
I'll find that light 
Something so pure, I'll search the world
Into the night
The one and only has come
And there can only be one
And at last, I am here"

~~~

The pair sang together in harmony, although divided behind a wall, their presence was the only thing they both sensed, everything around them disappearing. Cavendish sang powerfully and valiantly.

"For you, there is always a place
Inside this heart of mine
In this beautiful, vicious world of ours
Where the light hides,
Hidden somewhere from our eyes"

You sang just as enchantingly, a melodious and gentle hum in your part.

"I'm powerless - I'm meaningless, like every scar
But as I cry, tears fill inside,
Right through my heart
Through it all, I can hear
Someone whispering,'come near'"

Finally, you two were in sync with each other, nothing but a concrete wall keeping you apart.

"All that I miss – it's infinite, and so I see,
Tomorrow's come, with a new sun,
Waiting for me
The one and only has come
And there can only be one
And at last, I am here"

~~~

After my bath, I wrapped my (h/l) (h/c) hair in a bath towel while I dressed myself. I removed the towel after and gathered my things before leaving the girls' dressing room. I hastily made my way to the front desk when I bumped into someone, causing me to stumble out.

"Sorry!" I shouted as I looked to see a blonde haired woman gaze at me in awe.
