Disclaimer: I do not own Roswell, or any of the characters, those belong to Jason Katims, Melinda Metz, UPN etc. All I own is this story, which stems from my imagination.
Authors note: I wanted to try writing a one parter story, and this is what I came up with. I bought the EvanEscence album - brill album!! anyway, listening to some of the songs made me kinda er...emotional....so I had this story in my head, and here it is. It's also in someone's POV. You'll find out who I the end.
The song used in this story is call My Immortal- by Evanescence. The words and music really moved me, and I thought it fit well with this story.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because you presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
The wind blows across my face, a gentle caress just like the way you used to touch me.
Everything fades away from me as I am entranced by only memories of you. My sweet love.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
How had it happened? Sometimes I feel I live in a never ending dream; in a dream where I am in a place without you. So cold and desolate.
The people around me are throwing soil onto your coffin, bidding you a final farewell. To me, you'll never be gone. You'll always live in my memory; and if my memory fades, you'll still forever be in my heart.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand throughout all these years
But you still have all of me
This never should have happened. My fault really. If only my success hadn't been your downfall that should've really been mine. You would think I worked for justice when I became a lwayer. But there is no justice in the world. Not since the day you died in my arms. That drive by was meant for me. You protected me out of love, yet that love has left me alone and empty on this plane while you exist in another.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
I stand before you grave again; just like so many times before. Time that seems a never ending eternity for me.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
I brought you a gift. A single blood red rose.
I can still remember how much you loved them. They still remind me of the colour of your lips. Now forever gone from mine.
They said that in time, my pain will heal. They lied. My pain for you is as strong as ever; it will never ease; not without you here with me.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand throughout all these years
But you still have all of me
Do not worry my sweet; one day we'll be together again. The day when we can be whole again. To be able to feel your skin and hair through my touch; your soft lips brushing with mine.
I'll look forward to that day. The day you take my pain away. The day you come and free my soul from this lonely life without you.
I love you Liz. Until we meet again my darling. Until we meet again.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along.
Max placed the single red rose on top of Liz's grave. He stared longingly at her picture, tracing his finger along the epitaph of her name. He bend his head and kissed her picture. Kissing her.
A single tear fell down his cheek. A tear of love and sorrow for a passed loved one.
~*The End!*~
