"I ask for the pieces of me to return to me as you've shown me you never cared..."

[angelbeats]

"What's this?" the boy asked.
"It's a gift." the girl said.
"A...gift?" he said. Looking down at the unique thing in his hands. Some kind of shiny string in his eyes.
"Yes." the girl said. "It is a gift. A gift is something you give someone to show that you care for them."
"Care..." he said. A strange word to his ears. "Care..." he said again.
She looked to him. Then smiled. "Don't worry. As you live, you'll know what it means to have a gift. And to give one away."
He only stared at her.
"It's almost time."
He said nothing.
She leaned up and left the lightest peck on his cheek.
He blinked twice. Not knowing what she had just done. Nonetheless, something in him sparked. Came alive.

As their worlds began to collide with one another, slowly, they began to be pulled away from each other.
He knew no such thing as pain or fear. Care or worry.
Still, he reached out his hand. His fingers barely getting the chance to trace along the smooth surface of her face.
He found himself memorizing every faucet of her as she got further and further away.
Care. What was it to care for someone? She knew what a gift was? This thing in his hands was a gift...from her. So why didn't she explain what it meant to 'care' for someone?
She smiled at him again and waved her hand.
He knew what that gesture meant. It meant 'hello' or 'goodbye'. Since they were leaving each other, he knew her waving was a 'goodbye'.
A pang of sadness hit him.
Is this what 'missing' someone was like?
He did not want to miss her.
Still, he knew he had a duty to fulfill. Much like she did.
So he rose his arm and began to wave goodbye to her.

Moments later both of them were whisked away by a blinding light. The cord holding their worlds together for a time permanently severing.
When all was settled, he saw his familiar world. His people rushing to come and meet him. He turned and looked back. Seeing the last remnants of the World of Light permanently receding from this one.
Similarly, as her people rushed to meet her, she looked back. Seeing the last of the 'darkness' retreat into the coming night of her world. But for it to never cast it shadows as far as it did ever again. To where he could show his face.
She looked down. A sting in her eyes.
By the time the first elder reached her, her face was one of joy. Though she was happy to be home, the pain in her heart over never being able to see her friend again would forever be there.
Like it was in him as he embraced his people.
They could continue to believe the lies. Believe the ruler of light was judgmental and prejudice. Believe the ruler of shadows was cruel and merciless.
But in the end, only the rulers themselves, knew themselves. And, for a time, each other.
And in their eyes, just the opposite was true of the other.

The ruler of shadows was kind and giving. The ruler of light, empathetic and gracious.
Be that as it may, for the balance to continue on, they had to remain apart.
But that didn't mean they had to forget.
While they could never see each other again, when the sun came up or the moon arose, it would serve as a reminder to them both.
That there was a world beyond their own. One where enemies could exist on either side. And that neither world was perfect.

It is only with the heart
One can see rightly,
What is essential is
Blind to the eye .

The violin parts are always breathtaking

[Belka]

Every soul has the own story when it hears this sound 💜

[aata]

I am madly in love with the graphic design! Combined with the music it looks like she's the Snow Queen, but not from the tales - the one of white snow, innocence and gentle death. Him - a demon, the fear, the wildness lost amongst night blizzards ❄

[Wisdoms_Journey]

I can’t wait to have a following of my musical expression reading the comments makes me feel so Amazing about Humanity May You all find Abundance in all you do 🏆😉🙏

[gildahildgard]

If I was with people, i felt as if I were surrounded by strangers on a bus. The world seemed to be telescoping away, i saw everything through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars, watching tiny, animated people at the other end engage in activities I could not fathom. Great piece of music.

[Busyman]

Still come back to this beautifully written song.💚

[zethayn]

One of my most favourite, soul-touching songs ever, together with I Hold You and Her & the Sea. It's not that I listen to them all the time - but when I do, it's an entire experience on another level. Thank you for these.

[zoloosso]

Its the most accurate sound of a human soul

[LeeroyBeankins]

Jesus walked this Earth knowing the pain and suffering he was going to go through. The Lord at any moment could have said I am done. At any moment he could have changed his path. But because of his love, not just for the Jews, or Christians, but for us all continued down his path of no sin, to his painful death, where he would hang on the cross and suffer unimaginable pain, die and rise from the dead all so that you, myself and anyone who accepts him into their heart, can be forgiven of their sins. The Lord truly loves you. No matter how you live, accepting Jesus into your heart will wash away all sin. You will understand true love. I love you all.

I don´t know how you do it, but there is something about your music that just "melts" my heart. Along with Ivan torrent and Tony Anderson, you are the best.

*sigh* how I wish music like this would be played on the radio...

[renatilaye]

Honestly one of the best songs I’ve ever heard

[garra]

CLANN's sound is refined like fire.

[HassanMosleh]

So Inspiring and Spiritual ascending music

[RosannaMasullo-ed]

Musica celestiale. Da ascoltare ad occhi chiusi ❤

[นภาผสมวงศ์-หช]

The way the melody and lyrics work together is so effective.

[renaekajewski]

It’s not just a love story as the world depends on it to shift into a timeline that was already written for the hope of humanity!

[FalllenLyric]

Great pains, joys, and sorrows of memories came to mind as I listened to this... absolutely beautiful...music for the soul...❤
