Now or Never

Xelloss and Filia (c) Hajime Kanzaka. Still my favorite couple in any fandom, and always will be I imagined him actually caught sleeping the other night and her being amazed at how innocent he looks like that (deceptively, lol). And I imagined her kissing his forehead in an interesting role reversal that makes him seem like the younger, more vulnerable one. And then I heard this song on one of my favorite CDs:

"I watch the morning dawn upon your skin
A splinter in the light
It caught and frayed the very heart of us
It's been hiding there inside for all this time
How a sure thing winds up just like this
Clockwork silence only knows

And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never

Sweeping eggshells still at 3 A.M.
We're trying far too hard
The tattered thought balloons above our heads
Sinking in the weight of all we need to say
Why's and what if's have since long played out
Left us short on happy endings

And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never

You know that there's so much more

And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On our final night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never"
