/Trigger Warnings/ suicide, loneliness

A long long time ago
There was a volcano
Living all alone in the middle of the sea

Roman lived in his apartment by himself.

He sat high above his bay
Watching all the couples play
And wishing that he had someone too

He saw couples walk outside his window all the time, smiling, laughing, enjoying their life and love. It was as if the universe was mocking his loneliness.

And from his lava came
This song of hope that he sang out loud
Every day
For years and years

He found some comfort in singing, always singing the same song

I have a dream
I hope it will come true
That you're here with me
And I am here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above
Will send me someone to lava

"Some day my prince will come
Someday I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper, I love you
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day"

Years of singing all alone
Turned his lava into stone
Until he was on the brink of extinction

He had given up hope. He felt that he was going to be lonely forever, and was going to end it all tonight. He wrote his note, tied a noose, and was ready to end his life.

But little did he know
That living in the sea below
Another volcano
Was listening to his song

He didn't know that every day Virgil walked by his apartment, and heard his song

Everyday she heard his tune
Her lava grew and grew
Because she believed his song was meant for her
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
As he sang his song of hope for the last time

He had finally gotten up the courage to talk to him today, and as he walked up to the door he heard the sweet singing again.

I have a dream
I hope it will come true
That you're here with me
And I am here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above
Will send me someone to lava

"Some day my prince will come
Someday I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper, I love you
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day"

Rising from the sea below
Stood a lovely volcano
Looking all around
But she could not see him

He knocked, but didn't get a reply. He knocked again, worried as to why he wasn't responding. He tried looking through the window, but couldn't see him.

He tried to sing to let her know
That she was not there alone
But with no lava, his song was all gone

Roman heard the knock, but he just couldn't get himself to go to the door. He didn't want to talk to anyone, and it was probably just someone trying to sell him something.

He filled the sea with his tears
Watched his dreams disappear

Nobody cared about him. He didn't have any friends. As tears ran down his face he stood up, and climbed onto the chair. As he slipped the rope around his neck, he heard something.

As she remembered what his song meant to her
I have a dream
I hope will come true
That you're here with me
And I am here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above
Will send me someone to lava

"Some day my prince will come
Someday I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper, I love you
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day"

Oh they were so happy
To finally meet above the sea
All together now their lava grew and grew

As he heard the singing come to an end he went to the door. Maybe this was what he had been waiting for. He opened the door and saw him standing on his doorstep, looking relieved that Roman had opened the door. As soon as Roman layed eyes on him he immediately fell in love. He invited him in, and they felt an instant connection

No longer are they all alone
With Aloha as their new home
And when you go and visit them this is what they sing

They were happy together, after dating for two years Roman proposed! Their wedding song was a beautiful piano version of 'someday my prince will come', in recognition of the song that not only saved Romans life, but made it so much better.

I have a dream I hope it will come true
That you will grow old with me, and I will grow old with you
We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank too

They were happy together, and they loved each other
"I love you so much"

I lava you

The knocking on the door continued, getting more and more frantic. He called 911, concerned for Romans wellbeing. An ambulance arrived, and Romans dead body was taken out of his deary apartment.

I lava you

There was only one bouquet of flowers by his grave, left by the one person who cared for him, who showed up just a little too late.

I lava you

I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll see you next time, bye!
