Heart
...
Why?: A question I always ask myself.
Why am I here?
Is it to escape the dark, horrible place I spent my childhood in?
Is it to protect because no one protected me?
Is it to simply say "I told you so"?
I don't know anymore.
I honestly don't.
Then you came along.
You told me why.
You answered the question that haunted me.
Yes. I remember it well.
You told me it was to protect the heart.
The heart.
"When we meet, a bond between us is born for the first time," were your exact words.
You showed me that our hearts are formed when we care for someone.
You opened my eyes and made me believe.
I thank you for that. I thank you so much.
However, on that night…that night I lost you…my hope and dreams died with you.
I gave up.
Life simply had no meaning.
But I remembered what I had promised you.
I will not die alone.
No, I shouldn't say I lost you on that night.
Kaien Shiba…that is when your heart began to beat within me.
