Here’s my inspired story from this song. You might have to play it multiple times because people read at different speeds. So, Its not that great, I could do better but ideas are being stolen from my mind! Hehe, I like the last bit of the song, it’s probably where I get most of the story from. Love your music!

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

A girl lays in bed with sheets of white. Her gown gently fluttering as the window curtains gently flowed, the cool breeze rushing in, dancing in the room, brushing against the skin of both beings in the room.

A boy slowly walks over to her bed, tears forming as scenes flash through his mind.

“Why?” He whispers

“Why did you leave me, leave me all alone?” His voice breaks as more memories reveal themselves to him.

“Was it because of my mistake, my mistake of letting you go when you tried to encourage me from the dark, my darkness? Was it then, or was it when, I shouted at you. To leave me alone.” He hangs his head, scared to look at her face, which looked so pale, so pale that he would rather take away her pain to let her be free from the pain, free from this room.

“I suppose you did listen to what I said, to leave me alone. Huh, I guess this is what they meant. It’s to late to regret isn’t it?” He sadly chuckled to himself, laughing at his old naive self, who pushed away what he needed the most. His thoughts criticizing himself as more tears welled up in his eyes, falling to the cold ground. He slowly looks at her face, the face where he always saw the smile he loved, and her shining eyes as she laughed.

“I know it’s too late, but please, forgive me of my own selfish needs, I pushed you away from me, you who I needed the most at the time.” He kneeled next to the bed as he gently wrapped his fingers around her hand, the hand which lost most of its warmth. He cried, he begged, he prayed, he hoped.

After that, time passed.

Days flew by.

Then months.

Now, its been a year, a year since she went into coma.

He came into the room, the room he visited every single day, until today. He dropped the flowers he brought for you. He couldn’t believe his eyes, he doubted himself, thinking: I’m going crazy, she can’t be, she couldn’t. What he saw, was a girl who sat up in bed. The girl looked over at him, the teen who was now a grown man. She smiled and giggled at his silly expression.

“How have you been in the past year?” She spoke with the voice he missed so much.

He slowly walked to the bed where she sat. When he saw her pale face, his breath hitched as his vision blurred, tears falling from his eyes. She gently smiled as she watched him silently cry. He didn’t waste time to hug her figure that grew so thin. He tightly squeezed her as he kept whispering apologies.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I pushed you away. Will you forgive me? No, you shouldn’t, I deserved that. I made you into this state. I-“ He kept muttering it was his fault.

“Don’t worry, it already happened didn’t? So don’t cry. I’m here, aren’t I?” She patted his back soothing the emotions that he couldn’t keep in control.

“Please, don’t scare me like that again. Don’t make me think that I almost lost you.” He spoke with a wavering voice. He noticed that she stopped patting him on the back. He drew back to see her crying tears of sorrow.

“I’m sorry, ” She whispered as tears fell.

“But I don’t have much time left in this world. Please don’t think about the past anymore.” She wanted him to promise her, that he would move on from her.

A month passed, and when the man visited. He saw doctors surrounding the bed, he prepared for the worst, knowing that she didn’t have much time left. She didn’t tell him how much she has left. Was today her last? The doctors saw him at the doorway and left the room telling him that she wanted to say something to him, her last words.

“It seems like time has come.” She gently smiled at him.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” His fist clenched as he stared at her sitting figure. She waved towards him to help her lay down.

“Of course I wouldn’t, after all, things like this always happens.”

“You said you wanted me to make a promise before you leave. What’s your promise?” He sat down next to her on the bed.

“My promise, I want you to forget everything about me. And leave your past behind, because you are now in the present.” She spoke seriously as he stared at her in disbelief.

“Why? If I forget everything about you, then who will remember?” He tried everything to stop her from making him make this promise he didn’t want to have.

“You’ll see.” She whispered as she closed her eyes. Before she passed away, she left him something that he would cherish for the rest of his life, in what she thinks what he’d do. She smiles for the last time, as she stares at him, grasping his hand, squeezing it. “Thank you for everything. Love.” He stared as he watched her chest slowly moving up and down until it froze for a good few minutes.

“I love you, thank you for being with me.” He whispered as he smiled at her, he‘ll do as she said, after all, it’s her last wish. Isn’t it?

He stood up as doctors came in the room, swarming around her before bowing with deep respect. He was about to leave when a nurse came up to him passing him a voice recorder with a envelope. He frowned, about to give it back when he noticed the handwriting with his name on the envelope. He glanced at the nurse, she smiled at him and left.

He opened the letter as he sat down on a nearby chair in the hallway.

_Dear Love, _
_I hope you will fulfill my last wish. By the time you read this, I know that I am away from this world, watching over the people as well as you. I hope you know that I have forgiven you. Because, after all, we don’t live long now do we? Haha, well, anyways. I left this song for you, it’s my last one, and it’s for you. Once you forget me, you will have my last personal item, which is of my last song, you may throw it away or even share it with others. But just know, that you must move on, like I did. Love, You know who <3_

3:03

He grips the paper as it crumples from the grip and gets damp as tears fall from his eyes. He runs out of the hospital and into the park, where most people are gone. The sky darkens as he listens to her song, the song he will always keep with him.

Years passed since that day and he now has a family of his own.

“Here’s aunties song!” He presents the recorder and plays it. 4:20

“Whoah! She’s awesome! Where is she papa?” His son asks. He smiles and looks up at the sky. “Somewhere beautiful my son.”

This song reminds me of having someone love you, not returning their love, and only realizing you love them when it's too late and they're gone. You had your chance to love them and lost it. You don't know where they are or even who they are anymore, you can only hope they are happy and are left to dream of what could have been.

[LionelYuPiano]

This is a deeply emotional piece I wrote just a few weeks ago! Let me know if you guys like it. Special prize to whoever can guess what song the melody at 4:35 comes from!

[larsfrommars]

I mean, I'm not usually one to swear, but... *damn*. You, my good sir, are going straight to the playlist.

[claralinder]

The ending was definitely my favorite part, it sounded like it was straight from a fairytale but still there was a sad tone. It felt like the ending of a story. “And they lived happily ever after” “but I didn’t” kind of feeling

[shishi]

This was the song he wrote in 20 mins right? If im correct, thats even more impressive

[pinkdawn]

It has a lot more despair now that it’s been refined and I think it fits the name better now. It’s a wonderful piece!

[arkdis]

I'm not gonna lie. When I first heard this, I thought "Oooh, that's nice". I wasn't really that impressed, bar the amount of time that this took to be made. Yeah, that was absolutely impressive.

Hearing this for the nth time already and now this is a dear song to me.
I don't know, it's like every time I played this song, more pieces of the puzzle attached to each other and formed this masterpiece. As if every time it played, it showed me another perspective that had a fragment that the last play didn't have.
It's was like I was coming to a realization, enlightening.

[hawk_ish]

I wasn't able to listen to the whole thing, I was in years before it was even halfway through. Well done, very well done.

[TheRussianGenius]

Found your channel today & It's brilliant! Starting playing piano last month

[turnipottle]

The song is so emotional, it’s like feeling the breeze whilst confessing to your love only to get rejected. It seems he still has feeling for her, and tries to get her back before being crushed and giving up. Or- Something...

Lyrics:
The day is dark without you by my side
I can't believe I lost you on my sight
For all these weeks, I even have to cry and cry
Cause now you're out tonight
Without you by my side.
I can not even think about your face
or remember those romantic days
And now, I am still waiting for you
Cause I can't believe I lost you
Now... and here.
For I needed you to hear the words that I will speak
I have watched you walking on the street
With another person you could meet
And my heart is breaking piece by piece
I couldn't find a place in peace
For I am begging you please

CHORUS:
I can't believe I lost you all these days
And most of all I have to lose myself in space
So after all my memories for you will have to fade
Cause now, you have fooled me day by day

(Just on 0:23)
Sometimes, I lay down on acacia tree
And all the time I think about you and me
But it was not so hard to realize and see
And so I won't be glad
From all the pains I had
As you can see, I have storms in my head
That's why you go away from me instead I
am trying to forget and rush this
I can't believe I lost you
Now... and here
For I needed you to hear the words that I will speak
So I came to hear you say goodbye
Before the memories go by and by
And my heart is breaking piece by piece
I couldn't find a place in peace
For I am begging you please
(Repeat the Chorus Mark at 1:37)

[sagenrobinson]

This is just what I needed today, keep up the incredible work! Much love.

[Jerome.Morris]

At 4:35, the melody is from "Good To You"

[lula]

All I get is the feeling of moving forward after losing something.. and it's a warm feeling~

[SoulofSymmetry]

When I started listening to this song, I was like "Oh yeah, the melody is indeed quite sad!" And the more I got into it, I couldn't controll my feelings anymore and after 2 Minutes I broke out in cascades of tears.
In February this year I lost my dad to a super aggressive form of lung cancer and this song really reflects how I felt inside in the past months after his passing. Thank you for sharing this. Thank you so much. I can't believe how much I needed to hear this.

[Crea-Bea-Explosie]

It's so powerful! I can nearly here the lyrics sang by your future well trained emotional voice! :')
I'll cry when you sing this. :')

[rawaqadir]

This is the best song written in the past 25 years
