"I said I would live out both our lives...easy to make that promise" I never thought those words would be used against me as I entered this state of pity. I couldn't believe I let you die so I took it as if a plague infected my body, I hid from the world. So silently, so slowly I began to change I was no longer who I used to be, Now a cold non-emotional shell rests over the old body of what used to be Cloud Strife. The tears that escaped my eyes were only trying to ease the large amount of pain I had but the gap was still there. Why, why doesn't anything leave me alone? Why must the memories come back to pain me as they always do? I can't remember a time where peace between my heart and mind was established yet the war between the two has been going on forever. I look up into the sky to remember the missions we were sent on and the times we shared when the sun only shinned. Should I be so affected by this? It's truly my fault for being so weak, unable to speak out before he left me to defend what he called honor. Now I have to pay you back for saving me back then… It's my turn to be a hero, for the both of us.
