I have wanted to do a story based off this song for a while now, but just the other day, something "big" happened where I live that fits in perfectly with this. I just wish that it didn't have to happen in order for me to write this story. :'(
This is A Tribute To Love
"Looking back on those 'puppy 愛 days,' I realize that I knew all along that it wouldn't work out," Kate 発言しました aloud. She was fully grown now, and was reminiscing on her youthful days. "It's almost like I was just a stupid girl about it. I mean, I didn't ever feel that 'fairy tale feeling' that あなた get when あなた find true love. But it's not like I'd know how that feels. And, it never really seemed like it was going to work out. I wanted to believe it would, but I always knew that no matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, it just… wouldn't."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kate met Humphrey randomly on one spring 日 when she was just a young puppy. She was out taking a walk when she completely ran into the young wolf. "Oh dear! I'm so sorry," Kate quickly apologized as she tried to help the 狼, オオカミ up.
This young male 狼, オオカミ was quick at coming back and blaming the incident on his own lack of attention. "Oh no! Don't worry about it! I should be watching where I'm…" he stopped when he looked at Kate. She was so beautiful and possessed such a breathtaking aura that he nearly forgot what was going on. Nervously, the 狼, オオカミ pup snapped back into his train of thought. "Oh! I should, yeah あなた know, watch where I'm going."
Because she was so captivated によって this young male wolf, Kate hardly noticed the pup's stuttering. Before she knew it, Kate found that she was staring at her new acquaintance. Her radiant golden eyes locked with his calming blue eyes. Kate was speechless! However, she too realized that she did not want to be caught staring at a 狼, オオカミ that was a complete stranger to her, so she picked the conversation back up. "Oh, don't worry! It was my fault, really! It's just such a… such a…" Kate thought about what she was trying to say. She knew where her mind was going a few 秒 ago, but the new "cute" 狼, オオカミ was distracting her mind.
The 狼, オオカミ lifted up his right paw and gestured as if he was pulling the words out of Kate's mouth. "'Such a…' what?" he questioned her. "Pretty view? Nice world? Beautiful day?"
Kate stopped him when he mentioned the words "beautiful day." "Oh yeah! That's it!" Kate tried to cover up her fault. "It is a beautiful and somewhat 'distracting' day!"
The young male laughed. "Yes, I, uh, noticed. So my name's Humphrey! And yours is…?"
Kate found herself staring again. Fortunately, she was able to recover very quickly this time. "Hm? Oh, Kate! My name is Kate."
"Nice to meet you, Kate," Humphrey said. "You really have a pretty name."
Kate smiled when Humphrey 発言しました that she had a pretty name. She felt warm, and happy inside for some strange reason.
"Well, I'll see あなた around, I guess," Humphrey said. "Hey, あなた can hang out with me sometime if あなた would like to." Humphrey paused here. "Um, DO あなた want to hang out?"
Kate was caught off guard yet again here. "Oh, of course! Yeah, I guess. I'll see あなた around," she 発言しました quickly snapping back into the situation at hand. As Kate walked away, she thought to herself, Hee hee! He called my name 'pretty!' I like him…
Kate and Humphrey spent quite a bit of time together over the 次 few weeks. They got to know each other really well, and before long they ended up as best friends. Humphrey was just such a kind and caring guy that Kate could feel comfortable around. It was interesting, really; Kate actually felt… 安全, 安全です around Humphrey, like nothing could ever harm her as long as he was with her. It was not quite clear within those first few weeks, but eventually, Kate realized that she truly did 愛 Humphrey.
(Start the song here.)
Sadly, on one life changing day, Humphrey grew ill with some strange and unknown disease to even the brightest of 狼, オオカミ medics. Humphrey started to lose weight first. This was followed によって him experiencing headaches, fatigue, and swelling of his lymph glands. During this troublesome time, however, Kate visited Humphrey constantly. It seemed that she always had a new 花 または some colorful gift to present to him, just a small token to 表示する her everlasting concern for him. Humphrey always felt terrible, and eventually he could barely walk, but Kate was always there for him to make things seem a bit better and brighter.
"Kate, what do あなた think is wrong with me?" Humphrey asked one 日 as he was lying on his side in the sick den.
"I can only wish I knew Humphrey!" Kate exclaimed. "Everyone I've asked says they don't know what it is other than something is completely messed up with your hormonal system. My mom even mentioned that it was like your body is killing itself." When Kate let this small statement out of the prison of her mind, she knew that she had shared too much information on Humphrey's condition.
"Kate…" Humphrey whimpered. "I 愛 y… I 愛 being here. I don't want to die!"
"Just stay strong Humphrey!" Kate quickly said. "That's the best thing あなた can do. Don't ever, ever, EVER give up!"
Humphrey smiled at this. He was encouraged によって Kate's enthusiasm for his health. "I won't give up, Kate!"
Another week passed, and Kate was really beginning to feel that it might be time to let Humphrey know what her true feelings were. She was so ready to know Humphrey not as a friend, but as a boyfriend. What would that be like? Kate had never been in a relationship ever before, and she had never really been on a real 日付 either. Finally, Kate had decided that Humphrey really was her better half. He was the one. She was going to tell him how she felt.
Kate approached the sick den. She was really about to do this. With a deep breath, Kate marched forward, only to be stopped によって Eve, her mother and the pack's main healer and nurse.
"Kate," Eve 発言しました solemnly, "before あなた go in, I… I need to tell あなた that あなた will be surprised. That's all I will say."
Kate gulped. "Okay," she answered as she walked straight into the den.
"Humphrey!" Kate greeted cheerfully as she walked in. "I have something really important to tell you!"
To Kate's surprise, there was not an answer.
Hmm. He must be asleep, Kate innocently concluded. She ventured further into the デン until she was right 次 to Humphrey.
"Humphrey, wake up! I need to tell あなた something," Kate repeated. When Humphrey did not respond, she leaned down to his head and nudged it, brushing back part of his hair.
That's weird! Kate thought. He ALWAYS wakes up when I do that!
Kate laid 次 to Humphrey and nudged him again just as she had done before, but still there was not a response. "Humphrey…?" Kate's voice 発言しました growing sad.
Eve walked up to Kate. "Kate, I hoped you'd see this on your own, but," Eve's voice trailed off and her face grew deeply sad. "Humphrey died about ten 分 ago. He's gone."
Kate was devastated at this! "WHAT?!" she tried to scream, but her voice was pierced によって the sudden sadness that had poured from her ハート, 心 and was creeping into her throat. Moments later, Kate felt the sorrow reach her eyes; that's when the tears began to flow down her face.
"Kate, please, he went very peacefully!" Eve tried to pull her daughter into a hug. "He wanted me to tell あなた that he…"
"NO! No! He's gone! It doesn't matter! He's gone!" Kate repeated over and over! "And to think that just moments ago…"
"Sweetie, listen to me!" Eve pleaded.
Kate couldn't take any もっと見る of this! She jumped to her feet and ran out of the den, faster and faster than any 狼, オオカミ her age should be able to run. Kate needed to get away from all of this! The 愛 of her life had just been removed from the planet, and he never knew that she loved him! Kate would run, and run, and she might never come back for all she cared! After all, she could never ever miss her family as much as she was missing Humphrey right now. If Humphrey was gone, she would be too!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I was a lone she-wolf from that 日 on," Kate 発言しました aloud. "But I learned two valuable lessons… Everyone's time on this planet is limited, so we should make the most of the people in our lives while we have them. And love… Well, sadly, 愛 is not always like the movies. 愛 is not really the fairy tale I had dreamed it to be. I wish it was that way, but for me, it's just not.
"Maybe someday I'll go back to my pack and my family. But for now, there's just too many painful memories back there. As long as those remain troublesome to me, I WILL NEVER GO BACK!"

Author's Note/Explanation: A few days ago, a ninth grade girl in my community died of cancer after maybe a 年 and a half battle. Her name was Shelby and she was loved によって nearly everyone! She did not go to my school and I hardly knew her, as a matter of fact, I only met her once and talked to her for maybe seven 分 in a store. However, she was very close to my best friend and thus I am very upset because of her death. This is what I 投稿されました on Facebook:
"It's hard to believe, but I actually talked to Shelby for maybe 7 分 a 年 前 in an AT&T store. It didn't even take that long for me to realize that she was such a sweet person. It's kind of strange: I never knew her, but somehow, I miss her. :'/"
When my best friend heard this, he told me that it was the nicest thing he had ever heard. We were on the phone for nearly an 時 just talking about her and the funeral and the reactions of everyone.
This story is… A tribute to her, あなた might say, as well as an outlet for my feelings to this sudden turn of events. I mean, it really was sudden; she was doing so well with the treatments and in the hospital.
(No, I did not have a crush on her.)
Humphrey is that girl. When he became sick, he really developed some sort of cancer like Shelby did. Kate represents everyone who was touched によって this girl's life and existence. The fact that Kate never got to tell Humphrey she loved him is maybe tied into the fact that I hardly ever knew this girl.
The story also teaches that sometimes, 愛 doesn't work out the way that fairy tales または 映画 say it should. Sometimes, the best way for あなた to realize how important someone is in your life, is for あなた to lose them. It's sad, but it's true.
