Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note.

Author's Note: I wrote this story and published this story on 8 years ago and wow. My writing style has definitely evolved over the years. A part of me is actually embarrassed by this story because honestly? It's badly written when compared to my new writing standards. Another part of me is proud though because this where I started. This is my second story and my first sequel. While it isn't some great and beautiful novel, I love it just as much as my first story.

So after much contemplation, I decided to keep this story up and just give it a quick facelift. I tried not to change it too much because I want to remember my roots. But God did this need an update. I hope you guys find this update better than the last. Thanks for reading! :)

Where am I?

What should I do?

I'm all alone,

When I thought I would be with you.

Now, what can I do?

As I slowly awakened, I realized I couldn't see anything. 'Where am I? Where was L?' I quickly looked around me. It was pitch black. I couldn't see or feel anything. I felt dread overtake my body when I realized it. When I realized that I wasn't even sitting on anything. I was floating. In nothingness.

"Hello? Anyone there?" No one answered my call. "L?" I was getting desperate. "Lawliet?!" Nothing. My voice echoed around me. It suddenly hit me. I remembered what Ryuk told me. 'Those who use the death note don't go to Heaven nor Hell'. I gasped out a sob.

I then realized how stupid I was. I wouldn't be seeing L again. Never. I then put my head in my hands and cried. I cried for the first time in years. I didn't cry when my pets or family members died. I didn't even cry when L died because I thought that one day, I would be with him again. But I had forgotten the deal with the death note.

I cried and cried. I even cried when I should have run out of tears. I soon realized why I was crying so much, I was alone. I was finally alone like I always desired. For the first time in my life, there was no one to go to.

"L, Lawliet, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."

Meanwhile, in Heaven, L Lawliet watched as his lover cried. He wished so badly he could just go and comfort him, but he couldn't. It was forbidden to visit the ones sentenced to the nothing. It was forbidden to visit the damned.

Lawliet couldn't help but cry with his lover when he heard Light beg him for forgiveness. Lawliet cried for Light. He cried for his punishment. He cried for Light's choices as Kira. But the main reason he cried? He cried for their lost and failed attempt at love.

"Light, I forgive you."

I cry tears of loneliness,

Because I have nothing.

I thought I had family and friends,

But I now realize I'm alone.

I cry and cry, hoping for you.

But now I realize,

I'll never see you.
