After

It's the end, I guess
When you left without a word
You said that you'll wait forever
Until the universe ends
But it was a lie, because you never did
Before I returned, you were gone
Like the dust in the wind
Without a trace, beyond my grasp
All that you left behind were memories
Along with betrayal and pain

After all that's been said and done
Tears still fall
After all the dreams that've been shattered
A spark of hope still lives
I believe that one day you'll return
And once more you'll be mine

The dream's been broken
And suddenly, I awaken into darkness
Alone with the realisation that I've lost you
Was it something I said? Was it something I did?
Give me some answers, come back to me
The illusion's lost and I am running
Searching the darkness for a spark of light
That could set me free at last
In search of your shadow, your face
One day I will find you
And chains may no longer hold me back

After all that's been said and done
It's still not the end 
After all the broken promises and the lies
There's a hope that never dies
I still believe in miracles
That one day, we will be together again

After all that's been said and done
I still live on, awaiting your return
After all the pain that's shattered my heart
Time will begin its healing
After all that's healed and only the scars remain
I will dream again
I believe in the day when I'll see you once more
Believe in the day when we'll be together again

After all that's been said and done
I still love you
After all the tears that've been shed
I still believe in your lies
Beyond the tears and the anger
The healing has begun
When the time comes and we meet again
After all that's been said and done

Author's notes:

This is a bad, corny piece of lyrical writing, but the only reason why 
I even wrote it was because Jenni needed another couple more songs to 
complete the album within her WSF fic. 

Aside from that, I was inspired by Shinichiro Miki-sensei's 'Black 
Angel'. For people who are unfamiliar with the name, Shinichiro 
Miki-sensei  is the seiyuu (vocal) for Chouja Reideen's Nanjo Kazuya 
and WeiB Kreuz's Yohji, and in my personal opinion, one of the best 
seiyuu in the industry. He's extremely talented and  has a very, very 
beautiful voice. In fact, his voice is perfect for bishounen  ~!!! 
[Just for the record, my top favourite seiyuu is Ogata Megumi-sensei, 
followed by Hiro Yuuki-sensei, Tomokazu Seki-sensei and Shinichiro 
Miki-sensei.]

At any rate, characters of the Sakura no Hana, setting and names are 
created by yours truly and Jennifier Ding. The song is written by me, 
of course ^_^'

And I confess, I was heavily influenced by WeiB's Das Ewige Dasein 
album. 'Last In My Winds', in particular ^_^
