Vanished
.~.~.~.~.
Am I still dreaming? …No, I couldn't be. You are never absent from my dreams. Your smiling face, kind eyes, beautiful laugh. You smelled of wildflowers, sunshine, and foreign lands. Reflected in those eyes, I would be smiling.
Never will I see that smile again, until you return.
Where did you go? Why did you leave? I thought you loved me, loved our family. You said you were content. You promised me that the absence of your memories meant nothing to you, because it was the present that mattered. And at the present, you were happy.
I thought we would be together forever, until the end of time. You promised me, didn't you?
If this is indeed a dream, I'm having some nightmare.
Ironically enough, this nightmare started on a stormy night. The whole house shook and rattled while the rain sounded like gunshots against the sturdy roof. But this house, the one we shared, was strong and durable, so I had no worries. You would keep us safe, I knew that. I trusted you. I trusted you with everything.
But while the storm lulled the children and I to sleep, you were restless, pacing the floor, worried about your crops in that god-forsaken storm. I eventually managed to get you to calm down a little, and if you couldn't sleep, read a book.
And that was what you were doing the last time I saw you, over 7 years ago. You were reading that tattered tome you had found in one of the dungeons, I forget which.
Sometime after midnight I managed to put the children upstairs to bed, and tucked myself into our covers, without you, because you insisted that it was useless for you to try and sleep and you didn't want to keep me up.
I never would have slept if I knew you would be gone when I awoke again. I would trade an eternity of nights sleep just to have you in my arms again.
Why did you leave, so suddenly? Did you go out to check on the farm and get caught up in the storm? Are you even still alive?
My heart goes crazy with panic at the thought. Although you have betrayed my trust; filled me with heartache, I still love you. With all my heart and soul; with everything I can possibly give. And I know we could work this out. We can return to those blissful halcyon days.
So please, if you're still out there…
I love you. Please come home.

Author's Note: I always thought how Kyle left was handled pretty poorly. It was just… too weird and sudden. The only one who sees him go is Aria/Aaron; it doesn't seem like he even says goodbye to his wife. So I got to thinking about how awful that must feel. What would go through her mind? And this little drabble was kinda the best I could do to get those thoughts and feelings onto paper/bytes. XD So this can be from any bachelorette's point of view, it doesn't really matter which as it's vague enough.
Some lines (like, one) partially stolen from the song Yami no Shuuen by Gackt. Some themes inspired by Lost Angels, Redemption, Sakai Story and Seki-ray, all also by Gackt. I wrote most of this to those songs, so. XD He is a beautiful singer with really great songs, so you should check him out if you have not. Unless you don't like Japanese rock/pop. XD; Beware his Engrish, though. XDDD
Thank you for reading! *bows*
