"Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can't get them out of my mind
And I find I can't hide
From your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise
The night you came into my life
Where there's moonlight I see your eyes
How'd I let you slip away
When I'm longing so to hold you
Now I'd die for one more day
'Cause there's something
I should have told you
Yes there's something
I should have told you
When I looked into your eyes
Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along
And before this song dies
I should tell you I should tell you
I have always loved you
You can see it in my eyes
Mimi!"
Roger watched Mimi's still form as he finished his song and one thought ran through his head, She wasn't breathing. He wasn't the only one who noticed for less then a moment later Maureen cried out, "On my god! She not breathing."
The world seemed to freeze the minds, breaths, and hearts of all in the room. Then it suddenly exploded into motions and sounds. Voices called fragmented sentences to each other and Roger, some about calling a hospital, some about how they were sorry, some just trying to grasp what had happened. Hands reached out trying to comfort him, while other tried to remove his hand from Mimi's, but he couldn't let go. To let go would be letting go of any chance; the chance being that if he held on to her hand he could bring her back. To let go would be the end, that couldn't happen. He couldn't lose her...
His Muse
His Love
His World
His Mimi.
