A Journey Of A Musician

Jeron walked into his house, followed by his new marefriend, Eliah.

"That date was wonderful." Said Eliah as she kissed Jeron deeply.

As their lips parted, Jeron started to speak."Yes it was, and I had a wonderful time."

They went downtown to have dinner at the cafe where Jeron worked, and after that, they went to a college auditorium and Jeron had sung a special song that he had written for Eliah.

"So, what do you want to do now?" She asked.

"Well, I do have another song for you." Replied Jeron

"Really?" Asked Eliah with a smile. Jeron nodded

"Would you like to hear it?" Asked the dark colored alicorn.

"I would love to." Said Eliah with the same smile still on her face.

"Then follow me." He said as he lead her to his basement.

He allowed her to go down the stairs first, as any gentlecolt would. She smiled at the kind gesture as she walked, followed by her coltfriend. Eliah then took a seat on one of the couches in the room and she watched as Jeron prepared.

As he reached for his acoustic guitar, his flank caught Eliah's eye.

"Are you checking me out?" Jeron asked with a chuckle.

Eliah shook her  head to snap herself out of her trance.

"What? Oh, um, no, I was, uh..."

"Eliah, calm down, it's alright, don't get so worked up, anyways, I'm ready to do that song now."

"Okay."

Jeron put on his gauntlets and grabbed his guitar. He started plucking the strings on the instrument. And as soon as he felt that the time was right, he began quietly singing

"I open my lungs dear,

I sing this song at funerals, no rush

These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush

A baby boy you've held so tightly,

The pain in this, it's almost nightly,

Missing hotel beds, I feel your touch

I will wait, dear

A patient of eternity, my crush

A universe and still, no rust

And dust will never grow on this frame,

A million years and I will say your name,

I love you more than I can ever scream.

We booked our flight those years ago,

I said I loved you as I left you,

Regrets still haunt my hallowed head, but I promised you that I will see you again,

Again,

I sit here and smile dear,

I smile because I think of you and I blush,

This bleeding hollow dials,

This fuss,

And fuss is made of miles and travel,

And roadways are but stones and gravel,

A bleeding heart can conquer any crush

We booked our flight those years ago,

You said you loved me as you left me,

Regrets still haunt your saddened head, but I promised you that I will see you,

We booked our flight those years ago, I said I loved you as I left you,

Regrets no longer in my head, but I promised you and now I'm home again,

Again,

I'm home again,

Again,

Again,

I'm home again."

Jeron then put the guitar down and looked to his marefriend. "So, how was it?" He asked as he moved to sit next to her.

She started crying tears of joy. "That was so beautiful!" said Eliah. "I loved it."

Jeron took Eliah in his arms. "Well, I'm glad you liked it."

After Eliah was able to regain her composure, Jeron began to speak.

"Damn, I am exhausted."

"Me too." Replied Eliah.

"Wanna stay here tonight?" Jeron asked.

"Sure, if you don't mind." Said the white pegasus.

"Oh no, I  do not mind at all." Said Jeron with a yawn and a slight chuckle. "Alright, well, let's go." He said.

The pair then walked up to Jeron's bedroom and climbed into the bed. Jeron then turned to face his marefriend. He then kissed her and pulled the covers over them. Jeron then turned the other way to turn off the lamp. He felt a hoof wrap around his torso. He also felt Eliah's head rest on the back of his neck. The stallion smiled and spoke quietly "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Replied Eliah.

He then closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
