A/N: This was my first FanFic, way back when. As I've changed accounts, I'm re-submitting this, and I don't care what you say. It's been revised and Beta read by Yoshimi Ono. (Go and read her stuff – pretty damn good.)

Does contain mild yaoi… and the shameful reminder that I used to be obsessed with Beyblade.

And before you shout at me for that comment, yes I do sill love Beyblade – I've just… matured a little, I suppose. My tastes have refined.

Note – this was originally written as one fic, but I have decided to chop it up into two separate chapters.

Also, I have dedicated this FanFic to Timothy the Paperclip (http/ and the support they have provided me with.

A thousand dreams have been dreamt,
A thousand words have passed my lips,
A thousand tears have fallen from my eyes,
A thousand hopes have been dismissed.

I question why theses things have happened, how I can be with you,
I remember all the pain I felt before we realised it was true.

A thousand dreams have been dreamt,
A thousand words have passed my lips,
A thousand tears have fallen from my eyes,
A thousand hopes have been dismissed.

I feel your breath upon my neck, your hands upon my hips,
I feel your head against mine, your cheek against my lips.

A thousand dreams have been dreamt,
A thousand words have passed my lips,
A thousand tears have fallen from my eyes,
A thousand hopes have been dismissed.

I looked into your eyes as you read the poem I wrote for you. I could see the pain you felt when we were apart… the jealousy… and the anger. I saw your mouth curve into that smirk-smile that only suited you, as you read the words for a second time. I realised then just how much I hated not knowing… not knowing if you liked me or if you thought I was just another Takao. Where did I stand with you, if anywhere at all?

But then, that night when you put your arms around my neck and you lips against mine, I remember what you said; it's so clear, even now…

"Rei, stop me if I'm wrong… or if you don't feel this that is right… its just… I have such a… a… I'm in love with you. If I don't have you now, I don't think I'd be able to let it out. The pain of us not talking… not laughing together really would kill me."

I even remember the reply I gave you, which is unlike me… I'm so forgetful these days…

"I know…I know how you feel. I feel so… incomplete without you... I need you …"

But I can't remember anymore, only the smell of your hair (so sweet)… and the feel of your skin (like silk)... I wanted that moment that I was in your embrace to go on for all of eternity. All I'll ever need is you.
