The Lyrics That Defined Us.

someone like you.

26.

I heard that you're settled down

That you found a man and you're married now,

I heard that your dreams came true

Guess he gave you things, I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face

And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

"Don't forget me," I begged

I remember you said

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies

Only yesterday was the time of our lives

We were born and raised, in a summer haze,

Bound by the surprise of our glory days

—

"Happy belated birthday to my best friend!"

"Happy belated birthday to my best friend!"

"Happy belated birthday to my boyfriend!"

"Uh, happy belated birthday to myself!!"

Eddy tried to seem cheerful but it seemed like the jet lag wouldn't allow him. Pretending just wasn't is forte. "Okay, boys and girls, let's leave for our rooms now, we'll meet tomorrow at 9, okay?" Soo-Lin, apparently the only with full blown, wide open eyes and an energetic smile, said. She seemed to smile more at Mary. Mary nodded, and Rob had already spun around with his hotel key in hand. Eddy hugged Soo-Lin and Rob a 'goodnight' and left with Mary to head towards their room.

The next morning seemed better. Loads better. There were cupcakes by his bed and a little box packed with blue and pink ribbons. But, something was off again. Mary wasn't there. "Mary?" Eddy called, voice raspy from the sleep. The curtains were pulled, clearly no one wanted him to wake up. His left arm wasn't numb, so she had waken up quite some time ago. "Mary? Babe you there?" Eddy called out again, this time while throwing his blanket off to the side. He got up and started looking about the hotel room. It was pretty big and beautiful. Eddy checked the bathroom, no sign of Mary. Her perfume's smell was there, indicating she got up and dressed. Just as he was about to leave, he found a sticky note, stuck to the wall. Pink one and a note written in blue ink:

Happy birthday Ed! Enjoy those cupcakes. Haha :D

The handwriting was mixed. First one was Mary's for sure, next one was Rob's and the last one was Soo-Lin's. Eddy smiled, clearly the others were up to something. He walked back to the bed. The cupcakes were looking delicious, some a light shade of magenta and the other's a beautiful aquamarine. They were so beautiful, that Eddy didn't want to bite into them at first. But his stomach demanded something. Next came the little box. He opened it, only to find a forty tons of shredded decorating paper. Some deep, deep pink while others a hue of teal. Below the poor papers was small picture, a polaroid. It was taken three months ago when Eddy and Mary went to Switzerland. They had a lots of fun there, if you know what that means.The picture had Mary wrapped up, head to toe in woolen clothes and Eddy smiling maniacally at the camera. Eddy flipped the picture around, to find a little scribble.
