So I know this has been done to death, but I've been re-watching Bleach, and I just got to the part where Orhime said goodbye to Ichigo, and I just had to write this.

This prologue is just the Five Lifetimes, One Love scene from the anime, so if you don't want to read it, then it's fine to just skip it.

"Normal" = Talking

"Italics" = Thinking

"Bold" = Emphasis on word

"Bold and italics" = The famous Five Lifetimes, One Love speech. Yes I felt it necessary to emphasize this part, especially since this whole story centers around it.

Karakura Town - Ichigo's Room

"Okay, there we go." Orihime said as she stepped through the wall into Ichigo's room.

She put her hand behind her head and chuckled out nervously.

"That's hard to get used to, but here I am."

Staring at Ichigo for a few seconds, the smile drops from Orihime's face.

"I decided to say goodbye to you Ichigo. There are actually a lot of other people I want to say goodbye to as well. Like Tatsuki, Chad, Uryu, Rukia, and a bunch of others, but I'd get in trouble if I did, so I had to choose."

Staring at Ichigo for a bit longer, Orihime was startled out of it by a sound. Looking over Ichigo's bed, she saw his sisters, as well as their plates. Realizing what happened, the smile returned to her face.

"Oh, I get it now. I guess Yuzu and Karin wanted to be close to you tonight. You haven't been around much, so they must have really missed you a lot. That's so cute! They brought their plates in so they could have dinner next to your bed!' This train of thought brought Orihime to a realization.

"Wait, I just realized. Your bedroom." She started looking around said bedroom, blushing. "This is the first time I've ever been in your bedroom by myself, since I've known you...it has your scent."

Once again staring down at Ichigo's face, Orihime hesitated reaching down for his injured hand. Grasping it, Orihime slowly brought her face down, aiming her lips towards Ichigo's. Memories of him flashed through her mind as she did so. The time he saved her from Sora's hollow. The little moments with him and Tatsuki and everyone else. Seeing him injured after his fight with Byakuya. Saving her from Yammy. Apologizing to her with Rukia's help. Seeing his conviction while training with Shinji and them.

Remembering all these moments with him, she felt tears falling down her face and onto Ichigo's. Not being able to stop them, she tried masking the pain with a smile.

"Just look at me. The truth is I can't bring myself to do it." Sniffing, she wiped away the tears. "I'm so ashamed of myself. It's my last moment with you and I'm trying..." Standing up, she leaned back against his window, once again looking towards Ichigo.

"When I think about it, Ichigo, there were so many things I wanted to do. I wanted to become a school teacher. I wanted to be an astronaut. I wanted to be a baker. I wanted to go to a bunch of doughnut shops and ask for one of everything. I even wanted to stop the ice cream man and his truck and tell him to give me one of everything he had as well. *sigh* I wish I could have had five different lives instead of one. And instead of one town, I could have been born to a family in five different ones, and each one would have fed me a lifetime of different foods. And I would have grown up to have five different careers. And in every one of those lives...I would have fallen in love with the same person, five different times."

Calling upon her Shun Shun Rikka, she used her Soten Kisshun to heal his injured arm. Looking at him for what she believed would be the last time, she turned away.

"Thank you Ichigo...goodbye."

Well that was fun. Before anyone complains, yes it was the speech from the english dub, and no I don't think it was done any worse than the japanese version.
