I Am Only One
Memories fade into the silence
Haunting me tonight
With hope's last breath I take this moment in
It will be the last
Then morning breaks
And sunlight takes the pain away
Ever after never came
And I'm still waiting
For a life that never was
And all the dreams I lay to rest
Are ghosts that keep me
After all that I've become
I am only one
I am only one
I close my eyes and bleed this empty heart
Of all that longs to die
When faces lie and love will falter
I'm left with only time
And time will break
The dreams that take the pain away
Ever after never came
And I'm still waiting
For a love I'll never have
And all the dreams I lay to rest
Are ghosts that keep me
After all that I've become
I am only one
I am only one
I'm on my own here
And no one's left to be the hero of
This fairy tale gone wrong
As night will fall
My heart will die alone
Ever after never came
And I'm still waiting
For my heart to beat again
And all the dreams I've laid to rest
Are ghosts that keep me
After all that I've become
I am only one
I am only one
I am only one

[She flushes dark once she realizes who it's from, looking back at the chain again and wondering what on earth had prompted this. Their first meeting possibly suggested an action like this--but they hadn't been themselves. The conversations she'd had with him later (as well as his initial reaction when the effect they'd been under ceased) painted the picture of a man who... frankly would not be sending suggestive gifts to a woman he barely knew.]
[She waits at least an hour before sending him a message, wracking her brain over why he would have sent it, trying to remember if there was anything that she had done to invite it and coming up with absolutely nothing. She couldn't even think of the last time she's spoken with him for sure. It had been over a month at least, possibly even longer!]
I received your gifts, Cullen-san. The gesture is appreciated, though I do not know what has prompted it. I apologize if I have lead you on in some way, but I cannot agree to meet with the apparent intent of this gift.
