1. Don't Turn Around Darling by Kel

Don't Turn Around Darling by Kel
if you wanna leave I won't beg you to stay

Rogue puts on a brave face as she walks up to Logan

"You running again?" she asked

and if you gotta go darling
maybe it's better that way


When Logan tells her why he's leaving she only tells him she doesn't want him to go but on the inside she's feeling abandoned.

I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna be fine
don't worry about this heart of mine
just walk out that door
yea see if I care
go on and go but


After Logan is out the door rouge clutches his dog tags tight in her hand and looks out the window, and softly she begins to sing along with the song.


don't turn around
cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
don't turn around
I don't want you to see me cry
just walk away
it's tearing me apart
that your leaving
I'm letting you go
but I won't let you know


Rogue finally turns away from the window and closes her eyes a memory springs up in front of her minds eyes. The time on the train when Logan told her he'd protect her.


I won't miss your arms around me
holding me tight


She banishes the memory before it can cause the tears that prick her eyes to fall.


if you ever think about me
just know that I'll be alright
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna be fine
don't worry about this heart of mine
I know I'll survive
sure I'll make it through
and I'll even learn to live without you


A year passes and Rogue has seemed to moved on but no one sees her late at night kiss the dog tags she has not ever taken off since that day when He left.


don't turn around
cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
don't turn around
I don't want you to see me cry
just walk away
it's tearing me apart
that your leaving
I'm letting you go
but I won't let you know
I wish I could scream out loud
that I love you
I wish I could say to you
don't go


Another year goes by and now Rogue feels she may never get to say the words she should have said to him before he left.


as he walks away he feels the pain
getting strong
people in your life don't know what's
going on
too proud to turn around he's gone


Logan looks up into the night as he stands in the snow and swears he can see his sweet Marie's face and lets out a howl of loneliness.


don't turn around
cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
don't turn around
I don't want you to see me cry
just walk away
it's tearing me apart
that your leaving
I'm letting you go
but I won't let you know


Logan and Rogue though miles and miles apart look up at the stars at the same time and say almost as one

"I'll love you forever."
