A/N) Pairing PhantomXLuminous, not much maple talk here, but whatever~! :D
EDIT: Bolded is Phantom. Italic'd is Luminous. Bolded Italic'd are both.
I Remember
I remember when you were a stiff idealist. You hated everything you deemed "bad", and I was one of them - but I was an exception. You hated every figment, separating everything into black and white.
Dark and light.
Bad and good.
But I wasn't any of them. I was gray in your eyes, and gray I would stay.
I remember when I hated you. But your eyes were hypnotizing, and your voice was melodious to me. It was perfect - it was almost as if you were the angel the heavens had sent to me. But you weren't.
You were bad, and I was good.
We could never be together, no matter what we say.
I remember that you said "no" when I asked if you loved me. I could see it in your hopeless eyes. You loved me.
We were held so high, into the skies with only a thin silver thread. We prayed that it would not snap; we wanted to hold on to this euphoria forever.
...
...
...
...
...It snapped.
I remember when you were in my dreams. You were there, your playful smirk inviting me closer. I was so scared of this, thinking it was a nightmare, but the sight of you calmed me.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you for making me love you.
I hate myself for letting myself love you.
We fought so hard to stay together. We failed -
A taunting pit white, black, white, black...
Why couldn't there be gray? Why couldn't it be silver?
Our demise, a single color we both wove into - the myriad of colors and its suffocating absence.
Our demise.
A single color.
Just one color.
But it tore us apart -
Monochrome.
The silver thread snapped; we both lay on the ground broken. We didn't want to risk it again - we weren't part of the same puzzle. We had tried so hard, but in the end, we still failed. The last few centimetres hung, tauntingly, above us, but we couldn't reach it, other than the dirtied thread we had climbed up on.
We can't get back up.
It's impossible.
But
I
swear
there
is
a
way
to
love
you.
