Timelines Are Not Meant To Be Joined Together (SAMTBK Vol. 5)

Act 24: Regrets

Max is getting another solo! Italics is lyrics!

Max's P.O.V.

I was walking outside when it began to rain. I was kind of far from the group home, so I just kept walking.

No matter what, I can't stop thinking of Claire. Her smile, her eyes, and the way she was back then... in the rain.

I felt a power surge through me, knocking me off my feet.

It's the same power as-

No. That isn't possible...

Claire

Can you hear me?

Is it you that's out there?

I am too blind to truly see

I live in nothing more than a memory

I'm living with so many regrets

I am nothing without you

Once I saw you, I just had to be your friend.

And those secrets we shared

Those battles where we paired

I wouldn't want them any other way.

"Know and know?" What was I thinking back then?

I was just trying to avoid saying something stranger

But I'm really embarrassed by that with all my mistakes

We laughed, we fought, we cried, but we've never been like this

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

All those tears I've shed are for you

I'll never stop crying unless you give me a reason

Restore meaning to my life for I've been your aid for so long

I was dying when you left and I'm dying again

Dying out of sorrow and knowing the things I never said

I couldn't help but be a little angry

I guess I don't really know "what is best"

I just wanted to say I was sorry

Sorry for everything I've done

Are you out there listening?

Can you hear me?

I want you to hear my voice and remember

Remember all the fun times we had

All those moments we shared

All those times we'd fight over nothing

Are we doing that again?

We've never been like this

But I fired like a loose cannon

Do you forgive me?

Can you hear me?

I'm trying to tell you how I live with regrets

I just want you back

Back into my life

Back into our joy

Back into our sorrow

Back into our clubs

And no matter what, I will admit that this is selfish of me

Don't ever let me forget

But for now and here on out

Until I see you again

I shall live with regrets.

I looked down at my reflection in a puddle. The rain was still pouring.

Can you hear me?

Are you listening?

Because I can feel you out there

I know you

You know me

I know we can't just make amends

There's method to this maddness

Behind the random, there's a plan

I just need to tell the future

And if I could, would you be there?

By my side, even though we fight?

From day to night and 'til the end of the line

Will you be there?

Or will I forever live with regrets?

I stepped in the puddle and continued walking. I sat down and faced the nearby body of water (I don't even know what it is anymore... a lake?).

But then, I noticed a strange shadow-like shape on the ground.

"I understand that you're heartbroken... but really, there is a cure."

Did the shadow thing just...

Speak?

CLIFFHANGER!!!

Max gets a good solo!

Yay!

To you Max haters: Don't lay a hand on him he's too precious!

His remorse shows his innocence!

That's it.

Bye bye!
