Missing You

'I miss you, Riku. I know you'd say that that's stupid, that you're on the same island as me so it's impossible to miss you. But I do.' Riku/Sora, post-KH2

The hut's different now, Riku. Our old childhood one – we used to hang out and be friends there. Me and you and sometimes Kairi. We were always happy there. No sad faces or bad thoughts.

You never come here anymore. Kairi and I do, once a week, to clean it up. I suppose that's why it feels so different – you aren't here.

I never see you anymore, Riku. You're always holed up in your room and never come out. I used to think that when we finally got home, back to Destiny Islands, everything would be okay again. It wasn't.

You kissed me that day, remember? When I asked you why, you smiled sadly and said one day I'd understand. I still don't. I need you to explain it to me.

I just need you, period.

I miss you, Riku. I know you'd say that that's stupid, that you're on the same island as me so it's impossible to miss you. But I do.

I miss the real you, my best friend. Or is this new you the real you, and the old one gone forever?

I hope not.

Because I think one day I'll have to kiss you in return.
