Countdown

Ten nights have past since he last saw her face or heard her voice.

Nine days of endless rain has created a void and left him weak.

Eight of her drawings line his closet which he views everyday.

Seven seconds was too long to be away from her, and sadly 864,000 seconds have already passed.

Six times today he thought he saw her, and six times he only found disappointment.

Five letters he scribbled all day, R-U-K-I-A.

Four friends try to console him but can't erase the pain.

Three family members reach out but can't reach him.

Two has become one and its so lonely.

One more day until she returns, one more day until the sun shines again, but for Ichigo it is one day too many.
