If Emotions Can Speak

Author's Note:

So, I was just listening to these songs;

Just A Dream - From NightcoreReality - Song written by Nelly
Slipped Away - Advil Lavigne

And just got the idea of writing this... Btw I would recommend listening to one of these songs while reading this.

Why?
Why does it still hurt?
Why does it still ache?

I loved you
I cared for you
Do you still remember?
That time I asked you...

"Umm, Spitfire, may I have this dance?"
I blushed deeply with fear that she might say no.
"Of course you may Soarin, you don't have to be so shy about it."

Of course I shouldn't have been shy
I should never be, not with her...

"Spitfire, can I ask you something?"
"Sure Soarin, you can ask me anything, you know that." I gulped, it's now or never.
"I love you Spitfire, I always have. You mean more than the world to me. It's okay if you don't want to but, do you want to go out sometime?"
I closed my eyes hoping for the worst. What happened next, I did not expect. Tears. Tears from the Wonderbolt captain herself, but not tears of sadness, tears of joy...

I was so happy you know
So happy that you said yes
I didn't know you'd go so soon
I wasn't ready
But no one would've ever been ready

"Spitfire NO!"
Her eyes pleaded for help
I dived after her
500 m
400m
300m
100m
50m
10m
Then she smiled
Smiled at me
A sad smile
"I'm sorry," she said, with tears in her eyes
THUD!

Do you know how much I cried for you?
How much I mourned?
And you know what?
It still hurts
I wanted it to be a dream
But it replays over and over again

I looked up to the sky. I wondered if you were there, up there, looking at me. "Oh don't be such a crybaby Soar!" you would've said. Fleetfoot put her hoof around me, and pulled me into a hug. For the first time, I could let my tears out freely, and so could she. For hours we just stood there, bawling our eyes out.

I will never be the same
No one ever will
No one could ever replace you

I stare at the horizon
Tears well out of my eyes
And for the first time in a long time
I smile
