Fast Lane // Fabregas ~ Prequel to Crossroads

/5/ Single Diamond

Sweat dripping from his temple

A flake of stardust in his eyes

He fires the ball toward the net

And for a second it all complies

Chest swelling, beaming brightly

The stadium's cheering out loud

He runs to the corner, looking up,

And points at Celya in the crowd

Knowing she was somewhere up there

Among the sea of unknown faces,

A single diamond in a handful of stones,

Was a feeling of home like no other places

This beautiful girl that only had eyes for him,

And his career striving to such great heights ,

The two things he cherished the most

What more could he really ask?

Isn't it amazing how love drives you

To count your lover's dreams as your own

And their happiness contributes to yours

And their hopes are the hopes you've grown

Cesc never thought those things

Could ever be taken away

He might have overlooked her sighs

And all the times she seemed to stray

And what he didn't really know,

Or maybe he noticed but disregarded

Was that isolated from the crowd, alone

Celya did long for that success

One day to be her own
