All of my dreams seem to fall by the side
Like a discarded thought or the day's fading light
But I know that if I could just see you tonight
Forever
At times we may fall, like we all tend to do
But I'll reach out and find that I've run into you
Your strength is the power that carried me through
Forever

My body pushed into his, wanting to meld us together forever, to let his goodness and kindness seep into my very soul. I didn't want to let go, I want him to know that this was as hard as anything I've ever done. All I wanted to do was to take his hand and lead him out with me, show him how safe I will be...but the truth is, I'll never really be safe. At least not out there.
I hear his words eating away at the very core of my heart. They're so truthful and honest and filled with his pure emotion, no reasoning behind them other than its exactly what he feels. For once he's letting himself say and be the person he wants, with no fear.
“I am going to miss you Tatum. I liked having you here. I liked being with you. I want to know so much more about you. I want to sleep with you every night. I want you to be safe. I… I don’t want you to leave. But… I know you have to go. And I… I want you to be happy… so please… please be safe? For me? Please don’t forget about me. Please don’t think I will forget about you. You’re so wonderful. You’re beautiful. I have never met anyone like you. I… I have never felt so happy as today. You’re beautiful Tatum.”
Your kindness for weakness
I never mistook
I worried you often,
Yet you understood
That life is so fleeting,
These troubles won't last
Forever

BEAUTIFUL. He's said that from the beginning, and it warms me. Its not that he thinks my physical being is beautiful, but his eyes portray that its so much more. I reach up and wipe a stray tear from his wet cheeks. For someone so big so handsome its strange to see him so vulnerable.
"I'm going to be safe Cyrus. Safe because of you, for you. I'll never ever forget you. I'll never forget your kindness and your goodness. I'll never forget how smart you are, how clever you are. I'll never forget the smile on your face under our quilt. Ill never forget a second of the time I spent with you." shoving the tears off my own cheeks now I smile and take a step back, forcing myself to release my arms from around him.
"Maybe one day we'll be back in District 6. I'll find you again. I promise. Someday." The words fall out of my mouth before I can stop them. I really don't know if I'll ever be back here, I know I want to...but I shouldn't get his hopes up. I take a few steps towards the gate. Looking around to make sure no one was watching. The cost seemed clear so quick as a flash I make my way through the hole and into the grass on the other side.
Inspired me truly
You did from the start
To not be afraid
And to follow my heart
There's a piece of you with me
They can't tear apart
Forever
You did from the start
To not be afraid
And to follow my heart
There's a piece of you with me
They can't tear apart
Forever
"Goodbye Cyrus." my voice breaks as I call out from beyond the gates as I raise my hand to my lips and blow a kiss in his direction. My brain tells my feet to move. Mentally I know I should be running, but I can't yet, I can't stop looking at him. I can't let him out of my sight yet. The sunlight falls over a building behind us sending a glare into my eyes. Shielding my eyes from the blast of light, I finally force myself to turn and run.
Run through the woods and weeds and through the fallen branches. Ducking and diving trying to push my tears and sobs away. Sinking against a fallen tree I try to catch my breath as I dissolve into a mess of tears and sorrow. It takes several minutes to calm myself to a point of being able to see to walk. Wandering through the woods I finally see the tents of my family, my steps quicken as my mother comes around the corner. Choking back another flood of tears, I throw myself into her arms. "I'm home mama. I'm okay, I promise." I pull out the bread that Cyrus handed me, taking the fabric he wrapped it in and pressing it to my cheek.
Someday I'll find him again. Someday.
In times we may fall
Like we all tend to do
Your strength is the power
That carried me through forever
Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be
Forever your power and strength stays with me
Like we all tend to do
Your strength is the power
That carried me through forever
Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be
Forever your power and strength stays with me
