The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
- taken from "The Funeral Blues" by WH Auden.

You left without any warning, without giving me any chance to say good bye. You're leaving me without knowing how much I love you.
I should've seen it coming. I should've seen the signs when you came to me on those rainy nights, a pale face knocking on my door with many different excuses. But you're always so silent with your sad emerald eyes (when did they lose their sparks anyway?). And I … I was too preoccupied with my life, leaving behind something that is most precious to me. You.
But you, the ever considerate you, just smiled and stood by the side lines. Understanding and loving. So close and yet so far away. You concealed the illness that was slowly consuming your body with your smile, dying and so very much alone.
I want to hold you. But even if I wrap my arms around you now, my hands still cannot reach for you. You are too far gone, too far away for you to hear me now.
Your body is still so warm but your lips… they slowly turn into a purplish hue. I cannot forget your broken smile as you whispered your final words in a barely audible tone, "Kira... I love you." And I froze as I watched you closed your eyes for the last time. The book that you've been reading a moment ago fell on your lap, their pages opened wide. And you are beautiful as I kiss your still so warm lips. I wish I have this courage before you left.
The wind takes my tears away as I gently touch your face, still so warm… "Athrun... please don't go. Don't go… I love you." But my trembling voice will never reach you.
You left without any warning, without knowing that you are loved. You're leaving me in your sadness of being the unloved, without the knowledge of how much I love you. And that... that is the thing that I regretted the most.

A/N: First attempt in writing drabble (can this be called as a drabble?) and unedited, as always. Done in 20 minutes. For those of you who read "Stolen", chapter three will be coming next week (hopefully). No flame and kindly put your review please. Thank you…
