Chapter seventeen: Footprints in the Sand

You walked with me,
Footprints in the sand,
And helped me understand,
Where I'm going,

"What a nice song."

"Indeed . . ."

"How about we'll make it our song?"

"Why that?"

"Let's take it as a promise that we'll never leave each other alone."

Spitfire chuckled and softy ruffled Phoenix' girl grinned broadly and finally Spitfire nodded.

"Kay, let's make it our song."

You walked with me,
When I was all alone,
With so much unknown,
Along the way,
Then I heard you say

"I promise to come and embrace you when you're sad."

"I promise to be there any time when you're hurt."

I promise you,
I'm always there,
When your heart is filled with sorrow,
And despair, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

"I promise to watch over you any time no matter where you are."

"I promise to fight with you whenever you need help."

I see my life flash across the sky,
So many times have I been so afraid.
And just when I, I thought I lost my way,
You gave me strength to carry on,
That's when I heard you say

"I promise to always listen to your worries."

"I promise to never tell a secret you entrusted with me."

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled
With sorrow and despair
Oh, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

"I promise to always be honest with you."

"I promise to never lie to you."

When I'm with you,
Well I know you've been there,
And I can feel you when you say,

"I promise to never make you cry."

"I promise to never make you cry."

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled
With sadness and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

"I promise to never betray you!"

"I promise to never betray you!"

When your heart is full with
Sadness and despair,
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

"I like you, Spitfire."

"I like you too, Phoenix."

He swear to himself in silence that he'll never let this smile fade from her face, but he had no idea how the upcoming storm would blow those innocent memories away.

I really wanna thank everybody who has read this fanfiction till the end. It is the first one I've ever finished (though the story itself isn't finished by now) and I hope you enjoyed it as much as i did while writing it.

I will be on vacation for the next week, so I won't update anything before the next weekend. I'll try my best to begin writing the continuation of "Footprints in the Sand" the next week and I hope I may welcome all of you readers back again, when the first chapter of "One Girl Revolution" will be upped. ^^

Till then, your FreakyPumpkin :o)
