Quick thought that I figured I could write in a couple of minutes...and I did. That's about it.

His name...

He lived in my life, a good friend, a reliable friend.

He was always there for me, always waiting to give me a helping hand.

He was a strong friend, standing against the tide, doing every thing in his power.

They showed up, evil beings of darkness, here to take and destroy.

They were always after us, for different reasons, but for the same thing.

They removed my heart, they stole his heart, and the injured the finals heart.

He was devoured by the darkness, he hated the darkness, the darkness hated him.

He was controlled by the darkness, forced to do what he hated, hatred fueling the darkness.

He tried to be strong for me, he gave his heart to darkness, he tried to find me.

They controlled him, forcing him to find me, forcing him to fight the final over me.

They did more than devour his heart, they destroyed it, but he was still there.

They tried to stop him, but he was too strong, to much of a friend.

He wanted to atone, he wanted to heal, he wanted to save.

He put up a great sacrifice, he wanted the door closed, he wanted to help the final.

He wanted to seal the door, not to save the worlds, but to save me.

His name is Riku. He shall live on in my heart and memories forever, for that is where he is destined to stay. He was a true friend, a strong friend, a friend that was willing to sacrifice everything. And for that, I will never forget him.
