Yeah... I guess I'm doing a song-fic because I had an idea.

And I'm tweaking some tyrics to fit the Pokemon world.

Ash: 15

Ash's POV

MIsty, don't cry, I know

You're trying your hardest

And the hardest part is letting go

Of the nights we shared

Cerulean's calling

And you know it's haunting...

I remember when I left Misty for the first time. She was almost at tears, why was it so hard for her? I guess I was crying too. I was gonna miss her. But, her and her sisters' gym was calling her. Back to Cerulean, Mist...

But compared to your eyes,

Nothing shines quite as bright

And when we look to the sky,

It's not mine,

But I want it so...

I remember looking into those viridian eyes before she left. It's like she held the whole universe inside of them. And when I left, I looked to the sky. All that I could think of was her. I laid my head down and fell asleep, the image of that sky in my head.

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know he's there and)

I could see her. And sadly, I could see him too...

You're probably hanging out and making eyes( while across the room he stares)

She was with her sisters at a dance. She had on a beautiful turquoise dress. How could he not notice...

I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

He walked over through the crowd and asked for her hand. She blushed and nodded as he dragged her to the floor. I wish that blush was for me...

Because these words were never easier for me to say, or her to second guess

But I guess...

That I can live without you but

Without you I'll be miserable at best

I woke up, tears running down my face. That stupid, dreaded dream... I scrambled for my bag. I grabbed three items: a picture, a handkerchief, and a lure. Smiling, I set them carefully on my bed.

You're all that I hoped to find, in every single way

And everything I would give, is everything you couldn't take'

Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away

And the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay

Pikachu hopped into my lap as I took a shuddery breath. He looked at the items, smiling, then looked up at me. I grinned back, knowing that she wasn't really that far away.

'Cause I know I'm good for something, I just haven't found it yet

But I need it

I hope I'm good for her. I need her... 

I thought of the dream, even though I didn't want to.

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know he's there and)

I could see her. And sadly, I could see him too...

You're probably hanging out and making eyes( while across the room he stares)

He walked over through the crowd and asked for her hand. She blushed and nodded as he dragged her to the floor. I wish that blush was for me...

I began to cry, picking up her lure. It was... cute. Cute as always.

Because these words were never easier for me to say, or her to second guess

But I guess...

That I can live without you but

Without you I'll be miserable at best

I grabbed her handkerchief and wiped away my tears. 

And this'll be the first time in a week

That I'll talk to you and I can't speak

I always think about her being here. I talk to her, pretending that she is really in front of me. Surprisingly, I can't get words out of my mouth. I'm so choked up.

It's been three whole days since I've had sleep

'Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek

I just haven't been able to sleep lately. I've tried to call my mom, or even Brock. But I can't. I always think of Rudy with her. I'm terrified of the dream.

And I got the point that I should leave you alone

But we both know that I'm not that strong

I do talk to her sometimes. Usually over audio, sometimes with the Holocast. I usually end up getting shy, and she does too. Is that a sign?

And I miss the lips that made me fly

I mean, I haven't kissed her before. But... I wish...

My thoughts drifted back to the dream.

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know he's there and)

I could see her. And sadly, I could see him too...

You're probably hanging out and making eyes( while across the room he stares)

She was with her sisters at a dance. She had on a beautiful turquoise dress. How could he not notice...

He walked over through the crowd and asked for her hand. She blushed and nodded as he dragged her to the floor. I wish that blush was for me...

I began to sob quietly, picking up her picture. She was beautiful. My tears fell, but never once did I let one hit the photograph.

Because these words were never easier for me to say, or her to second guess

But I guess...

That I can live without you but 

Without you I'll be miserable

And I can live without you but 

Without you I'll be miserable

And I can live without you

Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best...

The ferry's horn sounded. I rushed to my window. We were nearing the Vermillion Harbor.

"Hold on Misty." I whispered, smiling at her picture. "I'm coming home."
