"Who are you?"

The words echoed through my head. They echoed through my heart. No, they stabbed through my heart. I knew. I knew! So why does it hurt so much? I kept telling myself She won't remember you, why did it not sink in?

I guess telling yourself something doesn't make you believe it. I guess deep down I was hoping that everything I had been told was a lie. I knew that it wasn't and yet a part of me wanted so badly to believe it was. I think that small part became a big part and made me forget the truth.

"I will tell you. So wait a bit, okay?"

What was she going to tell me? Why couldn't this happen after she told me? Could it have been what I hoped? But it doesn't matter, because she'll never remember. When all this is over, we'll go back and we'll grow up, and she'll make a great queen. But I won't be a part of her life. After this, it's all over.

Rain pours down on me, soaking me, hiding my tears. Tears that I tried so hard to keep in, unsuccessfully. All I wanted was to hear her say my name.

"I am Syaoran and I love you, but my love can never be returned."
