Lying quietly beside you, I can't help but want to stay here forever…
Will you always remember me?
I remember you asking me this once while you were in a daze and thought you were dying. Don't you remember my answer?
How could I ever forget you?
I know that I shouldn't be here…shouldn't have anything to do with you anymore… but…I can't stop wanting to be near you.
I sit up and look down at your beautiful face and, reaching out I try to smooth away the lines that have appeared between your eyes, lines that shouldn't be there. Gently, I kiss your cheek and smile as you stir and open your beautiful, vibrant blue eyes.
I lean down once more and whisper softy in your ear…
Gasping, I sit up quickly and reach out blindly, grasping and clinging to…nothing.
Cursing softly, I lower my hands and gaze blankly around my room. There's no mess, no clothes strewn around. There's just…emptiness.
"Damn you, Dearka. Why aren't you here?"
Furiously, I wipe away the tears that had forcefully leaked out, and throw myself out of bed, charging towards the bathroom.
But I stop abruptly and sag to the floor.
There…I had heard it…Dearka's voice, full of warmth…and the words that had woken me this morning…
I'm here Yzak, and I always will be here for you.
