Here's the song. The story is better if you listen while you read. ^-^ http:// www.youtube.com/wqtch?v=LvqRVi654zw //
I threw your picture in the fire
I watched you melt away
You turned to smoke, you burned my eyes
Have you ever wondered why when you weep, a dull throbbing forms at the front of your head? Or why salty droplets of water slipping into the corners of your mouth bring bittersweet memories, never to let you forget the emptyness?
But I couldn't escape
My love for you remains
So why was I afraid?
We all knew it. The inevitable was coming. Expedition 57. But still, I didn't want My Love to die, or my friends' lives to be put on the line. They all mean so much to me.
I lay awake in bed in that dungeon, three days prior to the expedition, with all this circling my mind. "(Y/N)," I spoke to the empty room. As expected, I got no response.
When you were next to me,
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
The first time we met, we were both trainees. I had been sitting outside, well-after dinner. I was thinking about my Mother, and how I was going to annihilate the titans for tearing apart my family and breaking it up. I mean, who knows where Father is, and Mother...
A single tear rolled down my cheek, and a presence I neglected to notice walked over and sat beside me. The tear was about to fall, but never would. I turned my face to the side. She was next to me, handkerchief in hand, dabbing at the salty water droplet on my cheek. Her (e/c) eyes shone in the moonlight, staring into mine and complemented her (h/c) hair.
"I can't promise everything will be alright, but I can be here for you when you need it." She murmured, her eyes gazing softly at me. In return, I offered her a small smile.
So why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
About a month passed, and we became very close friends. One day I noticed that my heart sped up whenever she was around, and that it was hard to speak to her without stuttering. I told Armin about it one day and a shy, timid smile spread across his lips. He said, "Eren, it's called love."
They said we never would survive
I believed the lies
Hanging out everyday became a normal thing for (Y/N) and I. But sadly, we lost contact when I was admitted into the Scouts, but she graduated and soon was able to join me. I was told so many times, "Eren, there is no love in war." And "Eren, what if you wake up one day and the person you love is gone?" Then I reminded myself, "Eren, you're a titan-shifter. Who'd love you?"
For a while, I believed those words-no, those lies and shut her out. But (Y/N) is very persuasive, and eventually she won me over again, so that I was head-over-heels in love, more so than before. I told her everything, my feelings for her and my ability, but nevertheless, her smile grew. She told me that she loved me back.
And then their words were verified
When I replaced my heart for you demise
But you were always on the side
