Song of Inspiration: Passenger - Let Her Go

I couldn't find an image of him without his helmet, so imagine him how you like

But I hope you enjoy

MAJOR angst, grab your tissues and wine, ladies(or whatever drink you prefer)

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Hound sat alone at the bar holding his half empty glass. He didn't have the energy to finish his drink, so he stood up after leaving a few credits and started to walk out of the bar. He pushed past his brothers that were having a good time. Even though he had happiness with his brothers, the best he had was with you. And you couldn't be there to make him happy.

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

He quickly put on his helmet so his brothers couldn't see the sadness and pain his eyes held. He got on one of the nearby speeders, not caring whose it was, and sped off back to the Republic Military Base. He closed his eyes for a few seconds only to see the image of you lingering in his mind. He increased his speed as he opened his eyes seeing he wasn't that far.

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow, and they go so fast

Hound directed the speeder next to other speeders and stopped the engine, getting off the vehicle. He walked towards the base entrance and Commander Fox noticed him.

"Sargeant, I need to-" Fox started.

Hound didn't care and shoved past him in the direction of his personal room, wanting some rest. Concerned, Fox silently followed him.

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day, you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

The moment he stepped foot in his room, he sat on his bed and threw his helmet on the ground as tears streamed down his face.

'Why did it have to be you?' He thought sadly as more tears fell from his eyes.

He wiped his eyes to rid of the tears but they kept coming. He didn't think that he would fall in love only to lose them. You've only been together for about seven months when he lost the love of his life.

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

He couldn't help but let out a distressed sob as the tears continued to fall. He didn't hear the door open of the footsteps that approached him. But he did notice the slight dip in his bed and didn't bother looking up, knowing full well who it was.

"Hound, I'm worried about you." Fox spoke.

"I just want to be left alone please." He said.

"I know that you miss her, but you need to let her go."
