Watching some Avatar clips, and fell in love with the YuexSokka couple. I know it's not my usual series to write about, but I couldn't help myself. I had to do some kind of tribute to them! Alright, its night, didn't know how to approach the story, so it's about night. Haha. I'm just so original. Alright, on with the show! Please review!

-----------------

The night is cold. Even deep into the furs of my sweater, it tears a little at my heart. Katara and Aang are asleep, and it is but I lost in the void of reminiscence.

Yue. Yue, with her snowy strands of hair, her tan complexion. Do I dare recall? She would lean against me, and her body was cold. Her lips were cold.

If only I had the strength to warm her…

The heavens are shot with stars and shades of navy and onyx, and they seem to mock your memory. Our last moments together, you were like light… strong and sound. Soft. True.

Beautiful.

The skies do not know of the pain and decisions you faced, so how can they wear the essence of you?

Your laugh was a chime, tinkling with the strings of my logic and kneading at my sanity. Why aren't you here with me now, smiling?

And here I am, running from my feelings like a fool. I cannot hide from the realization these last months have given me.

I could not save you, and my visit in the swamp proved that. Your words confirm that I did not protect you. I did not respect your wishes- I wanted you with me. I didn't care about anybody else. I knew you couldn't stay, but I wanted, needed you to.

Your eyes, azure and glazed with icy regret, and yet an optimistic look on reality, stalking me in breath. In wake. In rest.

The asters of the dawn break like my train of thought and cast me into the shadows of sleep.

Tomorrow is another day, but I can never have you back.

Your kiss was a promise of that enough.
