There I am sitting in this imagined scene
Dressed in the black suit, crisply cut
Figure hugging so I look my best for you
My hair is in place
My make-up's precise
The exterior shows the person I wish I were

For my heart lies beneath me
Shattered shards leaving a trail when I walk
And there's no blood inside me
It was drained the same day my heart shattered
Instead there's saltwater flowing my veins
Flooding my interior so that it drives me insane
There's too much salt, I'm going mad
My heart was in half the day I met you
You fused with mine. We became whole.
And now I'm lost without you.

The music starts.
I know the score. We planned this day together.
You're teasing me through hidden jokes.
And in spite of myself, I smile.
You always made me do that.
This will be the last day for you.
The only day when I can know your speaking to me again.
I can't believe you chose this song.
Its unorthodox.
And yet... it defines you.
The you that you are to me.
That you were.

I hear the footsteps
Knowing I shouldn't, I turn to look.
You're there... so near I could hold you.
And yet you're so far you wouldn't feel me
And I cry.
Because that is so true of us.
To be so near and yet so far.
In every way of applying the truth, it still remains.
And now... now you just had to take it one step further
Be farther than ever before.

There's a service
I don't remember the words
I wasn't listening, I tried but I was deafened by my
thoughts
My silent pleas to you
Begging that you 'stop pretending now'
Wishing for you to run in and say it's not true
Oh why won't you tell me it's not true?
If ever I needed a lie it's now.

Someone I don't know is speaking about you
Saying nice things, things you'd love to hear
All around me are people I don't know 
It frustrates me
I know they love you, knew you
In ways unlike me.
But I can't understand how any feel what I feel
How any think that their soul has gone away
That it can no longer return
That the person they needed for always
Has left them alone.
And how can any of them sitting there think
I'll never love again.
None will mean it with the truth I do.
None will wake every day with that very same thought.

They'll turn to each other
But I... I would have turned to you.

Suddenly I feel you, in the air
Reaching to all these people, touching them all
And your searching for me...
Checking I'm here...
You can see this girl who loved you
The one who doesn't know who she is without you
The one who can't understand why you left her alone...
Why she didn't go aswell.
You see me sitting there slowly dying too.

And you reach me, whisper words in my mind
Flood love back into my veins
Pick my heart up with yours and fuse it once more
Replacing it to where it belongs
And your love is washing through me, neutralising my sinful
woes
It's sedating a desperate mind
I sighs in relief
That you wouldn't leave
That you decided to stay her with me for always

And the music starts again
Another song, with just as much sombriety as the first
Laughing, I start to sing the lyrics
Smiling for you inside and out
I watch you pass with a final tear
And feel with new faith that you will stay

Standing, I follow you as the curtains close
Watch you, ignorant of everyone around
Then I closes my eyes and love you
As I will do, for now and always

Then I lay for you a single rose
To bloom then slowly fade
To disintergrate back into the earth
Part of the cycle from which we were made
It has a petal missing, a flaw nature intended 
And as a result it's perfect
It reminds me of you
