White Prelude

Rise before the sun,
but leave when it lifts.
The show must go on
so let’s start on the run.
Buy us a meal
or buy us some time
if we want to arrive there.

Look ahead at the road:
you can’t see a thing.
But maybe we’ll make it
before it’s too late.

There is no time to wait…

Turn. Turn on the lights.
As they drive by
we’re blown aside.
Keep your eyes on the road,
hands on the wheel.
Don’t let us slip.

This is almost a nightmare.

Turn. Turn on the heat.
They can’t feel a thing
as I fall asleep.
Keep your eyes off the white.

Don’t let us die tonight.

White days like this
I’ll never miss.
They only come once a year.
They only come once a year.
White days like this
I’ll never miss.
They only come once a year.
They only come once a year.

Feel the passing of day
though nothing has changed.
Night is determined to force us away.
Buy me a room
with bed and a muse;
this is almost resourceful.

Stop, but don’t hit the brakes
(they don’t do a thing).
We made it to nowhere
with no time to spare.

No one said life was fair.

White days like this
I’ll never miss.
They only come once a year.
They only come once a year.
White days like this
I’ll never miss.
They only come once a year.

They only come once a year.

–The Juliana Theory, “White Days”

Author’s Note: I’ve always loved this song, but I didn’t intend on using it here. I was really struggling with a title for this fic when this track on my Juliana Theory “Love” cd began to play. That’s when I thought, ‘Perfect.’

It blended so well with the themes, I couldn't not put it in. Kudos to anyone who’s heard it; if you haven’t, I definitely recommend you check it out. I think putting the lyrics to sound, hearing it, will really give the full and complete effect of this work.

Concerning the Fic in the Next Chapter

This is it. Thank you to all the readers, reviewers, and fellow writers. I’ve enjoyed my stay here at the G Gundam section. This is a fandom I never thought I’d write about, honestly; I still haven’t seen every single episode. Despite that, I’m glad I did take on this fandom.

In closing, about this farewell fic… The arrangement is purposely different, so don’t be alarmed if you’re confused at first. There’s also a reference to my fic “A Loving Sleep” in here. Loved to know if you spot it. ;)
