Let's meet again… in the next life...

-

You're stranger with a face. A face with skin so flawless. Soft like silk and torrid like fire. Stunning eyes of emerald. Perfect pools of deep green, clever and unreadable. Hair of fire. A mess of crimson spikes. And a mouth so outspoken and cocky. With a tongue so experienced. I can feel your lips pressed on mine. Like it really happened. You're face with a name. A name so soft on my tongue. So sweet in my mouth. Yielding in my throat. A title fitting. One that lingers in my memories and dreams. And words of a voice so soothing and luring. Echoes in my memories. Promises from a time before. A previous life. I know, somehow. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I know. I know I remember you. From something, from somewhere. Or… maybe I know I don't. You are nothing to me. I am nothing to you. I don't know you, but I remember you.

Everything is coming back to me.

In pieces and so slowly, but surly coming back.

I can't help but know you, remember you.

Axel.

That is your name, right?

-

I remember a secret. A secret so comforting and alluring. So warm a pure. Unsure but so secure. We spent time together, laughed together, did a lot together. I think.

-

You don't even remember me.

It's me, Roxas!

You remember don't you?

The nights we spent together?

The countless times I told you I love you?

No, of course not.

I don't even know why I know this…

-

Something about a life before. A life so confusing. A life I spent mostly in the dark. Except when I was with you.

-

I see you at school everyday, but I never talk to you.

I see you with all your friends and without me.

There's twelve of you, you and all your friends.

Sometimes… I wish I was the Thirteenth.

-

We were best friends. We were lovers. We were each other's worlds. Each other's everything. You were all I needed in life.

-

Everyday, I feel like I know you more.

And everyday, you seem farther and farther away.

You really don't remember me, do you?

After all the trouble you went through to never lose me?

After our promise?

Its okay…

I understand.

You lied to me.

-

Maybe… this isn't the 'next life' you were talking about…

Its okay, I can wait…

We can meet in the next life… or however many lives it takes for me to get you back…
