pianos and guitars

chapter 1

-Alanis' pov-

love hold my hand

help me see you with the dawn

that those that have left are not gone

but they carry on
as stars looking down

as nature's sons

and daughters of the heavens 

i watched tori record her latest single. i gazed at her as she smiled, lost in song. 

 you will not ever be forgotten by me
in the procession of the mighty stars
your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
here I will carry, carry, carry you forever


you have touched my life
so that now
cathedrals of sound are singing, are singing
the waves have come to walk with you
to where you will live in the land of you,
land of you  

i watched tori intently unaware that she finished up the recording. she nudged me and finally i came back to my senses. 

tori: "alanis, you ok?" she says as she drinks from her bottled water fresh from the fridge in the break room. 
alanis: "yeah, i just was deep in thought i guess..." i sighed. how long could i keep this from her? she is my best friend after all. 
tori: "maybe this'll help." tori stepped forward and gave alanis a peck on the lips. she sighed quietly. "better?"

alanis: "yeah," she lies.
