When You're Gone
I always needed time on my own
-Flashback-
-No, I don't have time now, answered Kaiba with a hard face without looking up from the computer, maybe later.
I never thought I'd, need you there when I cried
-Tell me what's wrong Seto! with worried eyes looked he at the blue-eyed duelist.
-Are you crying?
-Of course not! hissed the CEO, I just got something in my eye, now leave me alone, I have work to do!
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
-End flashback-
Kaiba leaned back and closed his eyes, just to snap them open shortly after he had closed them.
The memories always hit him with full power when he closed his eyes, which meant that his night-sleep wasn't the best.
He glanced at the clock and sighed.
-Only half past two, will this damn day never end?
T he days just seemed to be longer and longer, it didn't matter how much he worked.
Worked to forget, to ease the pain.
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
He couldn't stop the memory from the morning to pop up.
-Earlier today-
With heavy steps walked Kaiba toward the kitchen to drink his usual morning coffee.
But without being able to stop himself, Kaiba found himself standing in His bedroom.
The bed He had slept in, an irreproachable made up bed, which it didn't seem like anyone had slept in for a long time.
Which, with a sharp pain in Kaibas heart, was true.
Quickly closed he the door before any more memories would knack on his brain and demand him to remember.
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now
-End Flashback-
He still remember how they used to joke about that steps were like hours.
-I'll be home in three steps, could kaiba say sometimes.
"172 steps, 172 hours, 7 days and 4 hours, thought the COE sadly. And they just become more and more.
When you're gone the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone the faces I came to know is missing too
When would the pain ease? When would the memories be less painful to remember?
He had shut himself uo, refuse to talk to any one, except his bussiness partners.
When you're gone the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it ok
I miss you
He glanced at the clock again.
"He should call now, and mentally hit himself, he can't call you, he is gone!
But he always called you, whispered a tiny voice, every single day, even if he were sick and should have rested.
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do, reminds me of you
He sighed and looked through the window at his desk.
"He loved that view" the brown-haired duelist thought melancholy.
-Get a hold of yourself! Kaiba said loud. he is gone and that's it!
He sighed again and decided to go home, he wouldn't get any more work done today, not in this shape.
kaiba called his chauffeur.
-Ralph, I'm going home now, make sure the limo is ready in 5 min,
-Yes sir.
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do
He both looked forward and trembled to go home.
Slowly walked he up yhe steps and open the door.
-I'm home, he said and realised how stupid it as to say that, no one would here him, no, he was completly alone.
He took of his coat, but stopped when he saw a familiar jacket.
Carefully, as if it would disappear, he touched the blue jacket and smelled at it.
It still smelled like him, a mix off chocalate and vanilla,
"The only schampoo he used"
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now
Sighing (not for the first time or the last time today) hunged he up hes coat and the blue jacket and went to the kitchen to drink his 6th cup coffe today.
After preparing the coffee, he turned the radio and found himself hearing Avril Lavigne singing When You're Gone.
When you're gone the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone the faces I came to to know is missing too
When you're gone the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it ok
I miss you
Ironical how good the song fitted in his life.
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah yeah
Sighing, for the 100th time today, sat he down at the kitchen table clasped his hand together in front of him and rested his head against them.
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breath I need to feel you here with me
When would the pain ease?
When would he forget his face, his voice, his smell?
The memory was a trecherous sense.
"Why? Why does it have to happen me?
Didn't he have been through enough already?
When you're gone the pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone the faces I came to to know is missing too
When you're gone the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it ok
Against his will, he started to feel the text in the song embrace him and take over his soul.
Hollow him, stick in him, shadow his sight and make him close his eyes.
I miss you
For the first time after Mokubas funeral, Seto Kaiba felt how the tears felt on his cheaks and down on the table where they left darks rings of sorrow.
