A Thousand Years - Christina Perri Lyrics
Duckpaw felt flesh being torn and dug the object deeper. Blood oozed out and pooled around the small apprentice. His energy flowed with the blood and escaped out of his body. There was a large slit in his throat where more and more blood poured out.
Heart beats fast,
Colors and promises,
How to be brave,
Pawsteps and crunching leaves sounded, but Duckpaw's vision was already growing blurry. His energy was gone, and he felt light-headed. A familiar ginger tabby pelt appeared.
"Duckpaw!" she yowled. Amberpaw lay down next to Duckpaw. He was laying on his side, gasping for air.
How can I love when I'm afraid,
To fall,
But watching you stand alone,
"Duckpaw," Amberpaw meowed quitely, "what have you done?" Duckpaw saw the arms of relief so out of reach. Yet, they were coming closer. He slowly seemed to fade away, until he was no more than a soul traveling up. But right now, he was still here.
All of my doubt,
Suddenly goes away,
Somehow,
"Hi, Amberpaw," Duckpaw barely spoke.
"Shh, don't try and talk." Amberpaw mewed through tears. A couple fell on Duckpaw's cheek, warming his cold, lonely, inside. He finally realized it: love.
One step closer,
"Amberpaw, I see love." Duckpaw gasped. He felt his life ebbing away. A soft drizzle began to fall, mixing with the blood and soil.
"What do you mean, Duckpaw?" Amberpaw asked through sobs.
I have died everyday,
Waiting for you,
Darling don't be afraid,
Duckpaw chuckled and lifted his paw to touch her face. "Love has a face, Amberpaw. And a name too. A beautiful name. Do you know what it is? It's Amberpaw."
More tears cascaded down Amberpaw's cheeks and onto Duckpaw's.
I have loved you,
For a thousand years,
I'll love you for a thousand more,
"Please, don't go, Duckpaw. I love you. I've always have. Please, I can help you. Please!" She added with a yowl when she saw Duckpaw shake his head.
"It's alright, my love. We have parted for now, but we will be reunited once again, in a harmonial place I like to call StarClan. Look to the stars, my love, when you want to see me again. I'll be there for you. I... love you too."
Time stands still,
Beauty in all she is,
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away,
What's standing in front of me,
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this...
