~Wish Upon A Shooting Star~
You were the one. You were always the one. You held the keys to my heart, and you dangled them in front of me like there was no tomorrow. You always just had eyes for her. And yet you treated me in a way that I couldn't understand.
I never hated you. I couldn't. You had everything I envied—persistence, resilience, and a sunny smile. You were the sun relentlessly moving throughout the sky, and I'd be night, the secretly jealous. You were my other half, the one that my heart needed, that my heart craved. You were the only one who could make me smile. You were the only one that I couldn't push away. So we became friends. Best friends. But even you, you couldn't free my heart from darkness completely. I was night, after all. You cast some light into my world, but even the sun can't free the night. So I left.
I left you, left to free myself of you. I was afraid, that the part you brightened might spread, that I might lose the dark part of myself forever. What reason do I have to live, if I don't have the dark part of myself? I might've killed you in the Valley of the End. But I couldn't. You had brightened me too much for that. So I left you there, as the raindrops fell from the sky like tears.
Power set me on a path different from you. And so while I trained, I hoped beyond reason that you'd realize that. That you'd done enough already. You didn't have to brighten me anymore.
But you came, anyway. And now we stand as mortal enemies. We won't be together in this lifetime. Sorry, my friend. But, now, as I lie on my back and I see the flashes of light in the sky, I wish upon a shooting star, that we'll be together on the next world. And next time, I won't let you go.
