Hey this is Chaotic_Angel speaking. Once again this is a songfic. I wonder why I keep writing angsty fanfics. Anyway, this is once again about Cloud, but this time he doesn't move on. It's been one year since Aeris died, but he hasn't given up hope yet. So for short this is just him and his angsty toughts.

Disclaimer: How many times do I have to tell you? I don't own FFVII, it belongs to its owners. I also don't own Dearest by Hamasaki Ayumi it belongs to Hamasaki Ayumi. All I own here is myself. Now was that that hard to understand?

My Dearest

Cloud laid in his bed thinking about Aeris.

Hontou ni taisetsu na mono igai subete suttee

Shimaetara ii no ni ne

Genjitsu wa tada zankoku de

(It would be nice if we could put away and throw out

everything except what really mattered, but

reality is just cruel.)

"Why must life be so cruel and take away my love?" he thought to himself.

He laughed bitterly to himself for his misfortune. Today marked the one-year anniversary of Aeris's death. Tifa called him earlier and told him, but he remembered.

Sonna toki itsu date

Me o tojireba

Waratteru kimi ga iru

(In such times,

I see you laughing

whenever I close my eyes.)

His eyes closed as he smiled back at the image he picture in his mind. She kindly smiled at him. His heart ached, for he knew the image before him was just an illusion, a fading memory.

Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made

Dou ka sono egao ga

Taema naku aru you ni

(Until the day I reach eternal sleep,

that smiling face will

have to stay with me without fail.)

Until he found his love again, a memory was all he had of her, that and some pictures, yet that was good enough for him.

Hito wa minna kanashii kara

Wasurete yuku ikimono dakedo

(People are all sad, so

they go and forget, but--)

After Aeris died, everyone mourned for her including himself, but in his heart, he knew one day he will be reunited with her.

Aisubeki mono no tame

Ai o kureru mono no tame dekiru koto

(For that which I should love,

For that which gives me love, I will do what I can.)

Until then, he would search for a way to bring her back, but even if he didn't find a way, he would be with her sooner or later in heaven.

Deatta ano koro wa

Subete ga bukiyou de

Toomawari shita yo ne

Kizutsuke atta yo ne

(Back then, when we met,

it was all awkward.

We went the long way, didn't we?

We got hurt, didn't we?)

He often scolded himself for not telling her his feelings, but he was quite sure she already knew. Because of his shyness, they both ended up hurt in the end, but he was still quite sure she found out in the end.

itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made

dou ka sono egao ga

taema naku aru you ni

(Until the day I reach eternal sleep,

that smiling face will

have to stay with me without fail.)

He closed his eyes and fell asleep, knowing that even though she would not be with him tomorrow or the next day, she would be with him some day.

deatta ano koro wa

subete ga bukiyou de

toomawari shita yo ne

tadoritsuitan da ne

(Back then, when we met,

it was all awkward.

We went the long way, didn't we?

We got there in the end.)
