you're just a sad song with nothing to say
it's just another night.
the city is bright and the sky out of reach and she can't see any stars and the lights are far away, but somehow they're green. it's cold but not really, and light is sleepy but not really, and she's with clara - but not really.
there's music coming from her phone and there's a bottle of booze between the two of them and they're out on the roof and they could be flying but they're not.
instead they're lying on the ground, sprawled out on the blanket beneath them. light is propped up on her elbows, clara next to her, and she really should stop looking at her while clara is looking at stars she can't even see, but every time light turns away she ends up getting her eye caught again, and like every time it's as if she forgot how to breathe, for a moment at least.
but it's not like this and it won't be and it's just another night, their own world up here.
it's quiet as ever until clara shifts and looks up and asks: why are you sad?
light automatically replies i'm not sad because that's what you do, that's how it is, and clara frowns imperceptibly, and then she gets up.
light's eyes follow her movement as she leans down, offering her hand. she grabs it without hesitation and clara's fingers are soft and warm in hers, and then she gets up herself and clara turns up the music, only a bit, before she puts her phone in the back pocket of her jeans and her arm around light's hips.
it's just a dream, clara says as she starts to move and light follows her and she’s right; it really feels like one.
they're dancing to a song light doesn't know and it's all a bit clumsy and awkward since clara doesn't know how to lead and light doesn't know how to dance, but none of that matters because light can't stop being lost in her eyes and the music and clara sings along, i can think of something better.
it's just the two of them and like clara said it's just a dream and they could fly, only for a second, except that light doesn't even want to. they'll wake up eventually and the thought alone hurts, and she wants to ask: why me?
and she wants to ask: why not me?
and she wants to ask: if you could only tell me one truth, what would it be?
but she doesn't, because they're still here, one songs after another.
