Raven's POV

"Have any of you seen Freya?" I question as I come into the kitchen of my home where both the US and Canada ladies are eating lunch.

"I have't seen her since everyone came to eat lunch" Freya's Mama says then I hear the piano being played.

"Found her." Sophia says with a smile then everyone grabs their lunch and their drinks and follows Sophia and I towards the piano room

When we get to the piano room I see my wife sitting at the piano and playing it.

"Ravy." Freya says then she pats the spot on the piano bench next to her so I sit down next to her.

"Watcha doin?" I question.

"Putting the songs I came up with after my coma to music." Freya says then she starts singing as she plays the piano.

Waking up too early
Static on the TV
Dressed in all the clothes I had on
When yesterday decided
I didn't need to fight with the hours and the seconds no more
Doing all the things that I'm supposed to
Working everyday the way that most do
Smiling while I'm hiding what I'm going through
But you know, you know, you know

That if I'm being honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
And the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
And lately, I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man, growing old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell
Cause my heads a living hell
If I'm honest with myself

Stumble as I'm leaving
One foot takes the lead
Second seems to struggle to find
A solitary reason to continue seeking
Any use in walking this line

Doing all the things that I'm supposed to
Working every day the way that most do
Smiling while I'm hiding what I'm going through
But you know, you know, you know

That if I'm being honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
And the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
And lately, I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man growing old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell
Cause my heads a living hell
If I'm honest with myself
So how am I supposed to see an end
To my all consuming constant fear and dread
When I can't even seem to make it out of bed

Yeah if I'm being honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
And the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
And lately, I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man growing old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell
Cause my heads a living hell
If I'm honest with myself

"Well that one was..." Cosette says.

"Hauntingly beautiful." Talia says.

"Thanks." Freya says then she starts playing the piano again.

A few seconds later my wife starts singing.

Who was I to deserve such a love?
Who was I to have her holding me up?
If there's some kind of sign in the stars, it wasn't revealed
I talk about light in the dark, but it hasn't come here

I can't explain all the doubt that's within
I can't erase memories of places we've been
If the world ever fucked with my heart, she always stepped in
There's a version of life that I want, but it wasn't like this

The party's over, she's not coming back
I'd give up all the world for just one Sunday that we had
In time, I will heal
The moonlight's on the open road,
Tonight it's not so bad
So Bad

Used to try write it down in a word
But no phrase could come close to her worth
To witness the way that she moved, and how she stayed still
Was a beauty that I haven't seen since and I never will

The party's over, she's not coming back
I'd give up all the world for just one Sunday that we had
In time, I will heal
The moonlight's on the open road,
Tonight it's not so bad

Who am I to curse the past?
Just cause magic didn't last
You're one of few, girl
Who can safely say they had
Somebody truly love them back

The party's over, she's not coming back
I'd give up all the world for just one Sunday that we had
In time, I will heal
The moonlight's on the open road,
Tonight it's not so bad

"You know I don't really know where that one came from." Freya says.

"Well where ever you got it you need to get more songs from there." Freya's Mom says. "Just no coma's please."

"Yes ma'am." Freya says then she looks at me. "You wanna hear a song I wrote about you?"

"Uh lemme think." I say then I ponder for a second. "Yes please."

My wife chuckles then she pecks my lips.

After my wife kisses me she starts playing the piano and singing.

I bring her coffee in the morning
She brings me inner peace
I take her out to fancy restaurants
She takes the sadness out of me
I make her cards on her birthday
She makes me a better woman
I take her water when she's thirsty
She takes me as I am

I love it when her mind wanders
And she loves it when I stay at home
I know when she's lost and she knows when I feel alone

From all my airs and graces
To the little things I do
Everything is pointless without you
Of all the dreams I'm chasing
There's only one I choose
Everything is pointless without you

I light the fire when it's cold out
And she lights up the room
I hope that she'll love me forever
She hopes I'll be back soon
I take her out to the movies
She takes away my pain
She is the start of everything
And I'll be there till the end

I love when she laughs for no reason
And her love's the reason I'm here
She knows when I'm hurt and I know when she's feeling scared

From all my airs and graces
To the little things I do
Everything is pointless without you
Of all the dreams I'm chasing
There's only one I choose
Everything is pointless without you

I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
You'll wait for me too
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
You'll wait for me too

From all my airs and graces
To the little things I do
Everything is pointless without you
Of all the dreams I'm chasing
There's only one I choose
Everything is pointless without you
Everything is pointless without you

"Well that was beautiful." Adelaide says as I softly kiss my wife.

"Frizzy." I whisper.

"Yeah?" Freya whispers

"You better fuck me so good tonight I forget how to walk." I whisper.

"I can do that." Freya whispers with a smirk. "I can definitely do that."
