Drip, drip, drip

I stand in the rain, hoping to find answers. You left without a trace of your presence, the rest have moved on as if you never existed.

I still hope, that one day you'd come back, but when is that? Its been forever since the last time I saw you.

So many things cloud my mind, Are you hurt?, Have you grown?, Are you well?, or are you... no longer among us?

I try and move on, but I cannot. I live only because of you, I stay strong because of you, but how long am I going to last?

The day it rained is when you left, now I stand in the rain hoping you come back.

Why did you leave? You were not in any danger, so why did you leave?

I close my eyes, and smell the rain, its so refreshing.

"Matsumoto"

I open my eyes, and turn around, my eyes went wide the first thing I saw were your beautiful teal blue eyes.

Tears ran down my face, but you wouldn't notice because I was standing in the rain.

I slowly walked toward you for if I didn't you would fade away. I extend my hand and felt your cheek.

As if reading my mind you spoke.

"It's really me Matsumoto."

You placed your hand on my cheek, you felt so cold, but I didn't mind. I smiled and pulled you into a hug. I was still unsure if it was real, what if it was my imagination, and if I'd let go you'd disappear once more. I felt your arms wrap around me. More tears flowed down my face. This was no dream, or my imagination. It was real, you were real. You pulled away, and wiped my tears away, you smiled at me, a sincere one too.

"I came back for you."

The words you spoke made me happy, you came back, and it was for me, I wanted to ask you why you left, but I was afraid that if I said that you'd go away. As if noticing my fear, you spoke.

"I'm staying here for good."

I smiled upon hearing those words, you wouldn't leave again you assured me of that. You cupped my face and pressed your lips to mine.

I was surprised by the sudden action, but returned your kiss.

In that kiss you told me everything, how much you missed me, how sorry you were, and how much you loved me. You slowly bit the bottom of my lip to allow you access, and I happily agreed, you slipped your tongue and played with my own.

The lack of air made us pull apart. I smiled at you and you did the same.

"I'm sorry." you said, you looked sad, sad of leaving without telling me. I kissed you, and for the first time I spoke to you.

"There's nothing you need to apologize for Toshiro" I said your first name you would have scolded me for not addressing you as my captain, but I knew you didn't mind.

"Thank you Rangiku." you pulled me into another passionate kiss, I kissed back. I was happy that you were once again by my side, we finally were...reunited after so many years.

So, yes. It's short and all.
