Chapter Sixty-Two: Magic[]

The door opens.

He closes his eyes.

He strums.

He—

He sings.

You just have to step into the room

And life's like a fairy tale

You are my light in the darkest gloom

I can't help but walk your trail

'Cause you just have to smile and wave

And I can't stop; my heart, it sings

Because I hurt you, but you forgave

Come on, fly; let me be your wings

His fingers pluck the strings, bringing from them life.

I'm always just two steps behind

Just three words I can't say

I feel like I'm losing my mind

I have to find a way

I start, and I just can't say it

It's tragic

So I guess I'll have to play it

No undo

But every second here with you

It's magic

From my eyes gray to your eyes blue

The last line is muffled beyond comprehension.

Like the sea and like the bluest sky

Together, I know we belong

'Cause you are my light, and you are my

Love, and that's why I sing this song

The way you move, and the way you speak,

And just the way you are, to me

It makes me hurt, and it makes me weak

Because you are the untamed sea

He repeats the chorus, again muffling the final line.

And I can't ever touch you with your

Wild, wild waves, and all I

Can do is sit by your golden shore

And wish that I could be your sky

Because though a bird could live a fish

Like I love you, where would they live?

Penguin lives an almost fulfilled wish

But it can't fly; must something give?

His voice rises and falls.

Take a fish out of water, and

It dies in the air; drop a bird

In the ocean; it flies to the sand

But I don't care; the lines are blurred

Because I'll live in the sea for you

Because I don't care if I drown

Being with you is a dream come true

I'll flip my whole life upside down

He finds that he is shaking, and yet he still cannot say the last line of the chorus.

Every single word you speak, every

Move you make, is a little gift

It's like I'm caught in a reverie

On the waves of your sea I drift

I want to hold you, want to hug you

But I'm stuck soaring just above

Someday, the skies and the seas so blue

Will break the barrier—for love

I'm always just two steps behind

Just three words I can't say

I feel like I'm losing my mind

I have to find a way

I start, and I just can't say it

It's tragic

So I guess I'll have to play it

No undo

But every second here with you

It's magic

From my eyes gray to your eyes blue . . .

He pauses, and this time, his heartstrings are playing along.

I love you.
