Fast Lane // Fabregas ~ Prequel to Crossroads

Epilogue

These words were written years ago

In an effort to remember

How life had once been cruel

For two hearts that seeked each other

It's quite odd when you think about it

That even though he's far away

I keep the promises I made to him

Helping me through this lonesome day

And in his memory I find comfort

For he always knew the words to say

And for a long time I will wonder

'What if I had decided to stay?'

Home was a feeling I had in his arms,

And everyday spent along his side

And though I'm far from all I knew

It's a feeling that will never abide

Well, he'll always be my inspiration

It's the one thing that hasn't changed yet

Most times I will write to remember

Sometimes I will write to forget

Every word is a piece of my heart

Written memories, a past furtive look

It only started making sense,

At the last page of my first book

This story I wrote is our own,

The one we lived careless to the cost

So here I am making sure

That none of the pieces get lost

I have called our story "Fast Lane"

Because with some distance I can say

We were too caught up in it to notice

That the roads were leading us

In two different directions

I hope he reads it one day and smiles

For my dream was achieved, finally,

And I hope he knows it was done

Because he has believed in me

I hope he also beholds

That the lovers in the story

Are none other than him and I

And their story ends like ours:

Spilled memories and a kiss goodbye

I hope he reads it, knowing it's all for him

Remembering the girl he loved, Celya,

And knowing my heart will always long

For that summer in Barcelona.
