Why are you looking at me like that, Aerith? It's not that I'm telling you to forget him…just move on. Please don't turn your back to me if you want to cry.

I'm here…you can cry on me.

Come on.

He did come back after nine years. But he's changed. Didn't you see how he acted toward you? How he told you that he didn't want you to get involved and still left?

Why would he let Tifa go with him and not you?

Aerith, I'm not forcing you to decide on anything now. But open your eyes.

I know you would smile and laugh. But don't think that I don't know you cry at night too.

It's been nine years now. He was never really was there for you, Aerith.

I was.

Author's Note: Sob I really can't get over this KH pairing. I watched the ending credits on Youtube again and take note that in most the scenes they show lovers -- you can't help but wonder why they'd show Leon, then Aerith(o) as though they were looking at the same butterfly. Anyways, dedicated to LxA authors out there! Weehoo!
