Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia or the poem in the middle of the story. I just wrote the story. This is my first story so please don't be too hard on me. I know the grammar might be a little bad so I'll try to fix it later. I wrote this at 12:00 a.m. because I could not sleep.
It was the night before the Group was going to go make a pack with Celsius. I was very troubled and it seemed like no one noticed and that I didn't even exist to them. We had a long week and I guess that could be why I feel this way. Let me tell you a little about my week.
It all started when we were on our way to the Tower of Salvation. That was when I first felt depressed. I knew that one of my best friends would be leaving me. It seemed like this journey had begun and ended before I knew it. When we got to the tower Colette and Kratos had already went inside before we got there. It was real nice of them to wait for us wasn't it? When we got inside we found out Remiel tricked us the whole time, so we did what we had to do. We beat him up. I was very angry but that day only got worse. Kratos finally showed up, but not as a friend, as an enemy instead. He reviled to us that he was a Seraphim of Cruxis and that Cruxis wanted Colette to be Martel's vessel.
I guess that was the main day that made me feel like this. I hate to admit it but, I miss Kratos. I almost felt like we were brothers even though he hated when I called him Bro. We still run into each other now and then but he always seems so could. I also think he is hiding something. He actually is confusing me most of the time he is cold but he is still helping us. I think I'll go for a walk to try to get my mind off of Kratos.

Lloyd walked through the empty streets of Flanoir. He walked up to a small balcony by the church that overlooked the city. There were tears in his eyes and at the time he didn't care who saw him. He saw a blurry purple dot in the distance. Lloyd automatically knew who it was. He didn't know why but he ran towards the dot. He ran out of the city and to the area were he spotted the dot. And sure enough there was Kratos sitting there looking up at the sky.
------------------
I was thinking about when I was going to tell Lloyd the truth. Part of me knew that he deserved to know, but part of me knew that he was going to be mad at me for it. I heard footsteps coming my way, but I didn't move. I knew it was Lloyd. When he got close I stood up and looked at him. I could see the tears in his eyes.
An Angel kissed my tears away
today when I was sad
I wasn't feeling quite myself
my day had been so bad
I knew that all the things that have happened to Lloyd had to be overwhelming for him. I wrapped my arms around him and started whispering words of comfort to him. When I saw that the tears had stopped I let go of him and sat back down. I offered for him to sit down too.
-----------------
I don't know how long we sat there but it seemed like a long time.
I felt a warmth brush by me
that quickly dried my tears
A gentle, kind, and loving touch
that seemed to hold me near.
Kratos and I started talking and we also looked at the stars. For some reason this felt familiar to me but Kratos and I never looked at the stars together. It felt like we had and I also felt like I knew Kratos long before I met him at the temple. It was just a feeling I had and I couldn't tell anyone about it, not even Kratos.

"It's really late, maybe you should go back to the inn. " Kratos exclaimed.
"But it is really nice out tonight." Lloyd sighed
"You need your rest you have a long journey ahead of you. You don't want to be falling asleep in the middle of a battle again do you?"
"You make one mistake and you're scarred for life. Anyway you are probably right."
"I will guide you back to the inn but then I must leave." So they walked back to the inn and just before Lloyd went inside Kratos stopped him. "Lloyd I have something to tell you but not right now. Maybe I will tell you before the end of your journey. Until then do not die, Lloyd." Then he walked away. Lloyd went inside and fell asleep on one of the inn beds.
Imediately, I felt so much better
and the day seemed brighter too
I guess that's just the way you feel
When an Angel conforts you
I woke up feeling better than I had in weeks. I looked around the room and noticed that everyone was already downstairs. I got up and spotted two swords by my bed that weren't mine I actually had never seen the before. I smiled and equipped the two swords. "Thank you , Kratos"
