Why do I always write pure sappiness or raw angst? -_-; But still, review!

Pure Light
After all I have been through in my long life, after all I have seen, it is refreshing to know a soul a simple and pure as you, my little one.
I hardly knew you then, in the beginning when fate brought the Millennium Puzzle into your hands, and yet still you offered me the greatest of all gifts, one that even I in all my wealth had never possessed - your friendship.
I would have been a fool to refuse. I t has not been so long since then, yet it feels as though I have known you for an eternity, and you have always been a presence in my mind. Perhaps there is some truth to all my abstract thoughts: My soul was split apart when I sealed myself into the Puzzle, once upon a time in ancient Egypt. Now, five thousand years later, my other half has been returned to me in the form of a boy so like and yet so different from myself.
You are all I could have been and never was; you are my reflection. I look at you and see myself and more - what I would be, had it not been for the pressures of living life and a Pharaoh's duties.
You're light, Yugi, pure light. If there's any that don't believe me, they should just look into your eyes. They're beautiful, innocent, warm; the shade of the sky as the sun begins to rise.
The people of Egypt in the ancient days believed their Pharaoh to be a god, perfect and blameless. Perhaps it would surprise them to know that I am not. I have done many terrible things in my life, and.I am no longer innocent.
Have you ever looked into my eyes, Yugi? They're cold. So cold they almost scare me myself. Everything about them is different from yours, even the color; violet, true, but a violet tinged with crimson. Like amethyst and blood, scarlet and stone.
Perhaps (though still the full truth of the matter eludes me) that is why I have made it my mission, my personal duty, to protect you from the darkness of the world and all that made me what I am. So that your eyes will never become like mine.
Innocence is too easily torn away or stolen; strength is needed to maintain it. And for that strength, Yugi, you have me.
Perhaps I am the evil one, the dark Pharaoh some think me to be. But not to you. No, never to you.
For you are my hikari, Yugi. My light.
