There ain't nothing we can do to protect you

Was it worth it, severing the ties?
Happy to see me or a bit embarrassed?
There's a darkness deep in your blue eyes

Just don't leave me alone
Wondering where you are
I am stronger than you give me

I'm an echo in your shadow
And your shadows, I'm in too deep
In the river, your reflection
Is a promise you couldn't keep

I'm afraid will always be
Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life

Don't you hold on too tight
Both of you know
It's your time to grow
To fall apart, to reunite

We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen, still

And the caress of a moment ended
My voice will not hide
When it passed and I wasn't able to say
Thank you, until we meet again

And if you're ever tired of being known for who you know
You know you'll always know me

Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning

Sharing beds like little kids
And laughing 'til our ribs get tough
But that will never be enough

With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay
You said, "Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way!"

'Cause when love is gone
There's always justice
And when justice is gone
There's always force

── Laurie Anderson
Pull up, nobody panic
Why did you vanish?
Hold up, needed a hand and
Nobody had it

── Jean Dawson
Aurora, I'm here
I won't disappear again
How soon can you come?

We'll float away, but if we fall
I only pray, don't fall away from me

Dear Reader,
Can you tell that this is going to be
such a happy story between two
best friends (note the sarcasm)?
I'm so excited to write this! The last
two songs are the theme songs of
their respective romantic subplots.
Can you guess who falls for who?
I'm glad I gave them both 'C' names,
or else it'd far be too easy. I won't
spoil, but it'll be clearer as day
once the story picks up.
Do give these songs a listen! I love
them all so, so much.
I haven't even written the prologue
yet, but I'm just putting these out
there for the world. Bear with me!
With love, Eddie
