I am Here

Cloud's Feelings:

It happened so suddenly that it took me by suprise. Well, it was probably there all along, but when it finally hit me, I was stunned. I had fallen in love with you. I loved everything about you. Your smile, your laugh, you cheerfulness. You were perfect. You had become my everything. And when I lost you, It was like a part of me was gone. I didnt feel like I could go on without you. I felt like it was my fault, I was supposed to protect you. After all, I was your bodyguard.

You will always be a part of me, Im sure of that. I will love you until the day I die. But it just seems so hard to move on. I dont think I can move on without you, Aeris.

I know you did what you had to do to save the planet, but what about me? I know thats selfish but, how am I supposed to live without you here? All the memories of us together wont seem to fade, everythings still so vivid. I still remember the first time I saw you. You were so suprised and happy when I bought a flower. When you smiled I was taken aback by your beauty so much that I couldnt say anything, and I just watched you walk away. I thought that I would never see you again.

But then I landed in you church. That memory is bittersweet to me. I still go there, to your church. Your flowers are doing fine, I take good care of them, they are all that I have left of you, so they are cherished.

I just want you to know, that I will always love you, and no one could ever take your place. I will always be here, your loyal bodyguard. I am here...

Aeris' Feelings:

Cloud, It was so hard to leave you. If i had any regrets in my life, it was leaving you. But i had to do what needed to be done, and I think you understood that. I had fallen in love with you. I admit, that I was intially attracted to you beacause you reminded me of Zack. When I first saw you, I just had to talk to you, hear your voice. So I offered you a flower. I was so suprised when you bought one, but it also made me really happy.

Over time though, I got to know the real you, and thats who I fell in love with. When I think of you now, I imagine us on our date. I remember the fireworks casting a soft glow on your face. I had just told you my feelings, and you were smiling. It took my breath away. I will always remember that.

I really loved you so much, and I still do. I wish more than anything that we could be together, and maybe my wish will be granted one day, who knows.

Do you believe that love can overcome death, Cloud? I like to believe that.

I just want you to know, that I will always love you, and I will treasure every moment that I spent with you forever. I will always be here, maybe not in body, but in spirit. I am here...

In an ancient city, no longer inhabited by man, a eerie wind blew. On a pedestal, far above the water, there was a soft, light blue glow, casting shadows and light throughout the room. The glow, slowly diminished to reveal a young girl, kneeling on the ground, holding her hands in front of her, as if praying. Her eyes opened, and the wind died down. A tear trickled down her cheek and she whispered, "Cloud, I am here..."

I love Cloud X Aerith! They are my most favorite couple EVER! Anyway, I hope you liked it!
