Author's Note: A fic dedicated to all the clorith fans out there. Basically, it's just how Cloud looks back at how he feels about Aeris...based on one of my favorite songs.
Disclaimer: I will never own FF7...sobs or "Ghost of You" by My Chemical Romance commits Hara-Kiri

Cloud sat on a tree branch, all alone, the night so dark, hardly anyone outside. He looked up at the black sky, seeing the face of the beautiful emerald eyed flower girl, her chestnut hair tied in a braid. Cloud felt a tear roll down his cheek. He remembered everything: how he first met, her innocent voice pleading for him to buy a flower. And it is the most beautiful flower he had ever layed eyes on. Her tender voice, how she always comforted him, and talked to him whenever it seemed something had bothered him.
I'd never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I did, we'd be together now
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
Her voice, her words haunted him every waking moment, how he would see her face, hoping for her to come back. But she never will.
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Cloud stared at the blade he held, hoping it would end his suffering with one thrust.
Could I? Should I?
How he wished to be reunited with her. He missed her. The way she laughed. The way she smiled. Her gentle soul. Oh, how he loathed that silver haired bastard for ending her life, just when he felt he was truly in love.
And all those things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever ever...
He looked through his pocket, holding the Holy Materia that is now useless.
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs
In my arms
She dies
She dies...
The moment he released her now delicate and fragile body, softly placing it in the cold water. He felt his arms grow numb...so weak. How can he let the woman he loves just die? How?
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
But did she ever love him back? If she sat next to him, right now...would she confess her feelings, any feelings, to the suffering young man?
And all those things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Getting of his sitting place, he leapt down to the floor in one graceful movement. He held the blade tighter.
Never coming home
Never coming home
He raised the blade a bit higher, so it would stop touching the ground. He then aimed the sword towards his heart.
Could I?
Should I?
"Aeris..." He whispered her name, only hearing the sound of the wind.
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
"I'll be with you soon..." He said while looking up at the stars, hoping that she would get his message.
For all the ghosts that are ever gonna catch me
Cloud took his last breath, since that will be the last time he breathed in the land of the living. Closing his eyes, hiding his mako blue irises, he put all his pressure into the thrust of the sword, piercing his skin, stabbing his heart. "Soon, Aeris..." he whispered to the wind, and his grieving soul finally left his body to join the Lifestream.
If I fall...
If I fall...
Cloud's body arched forward, his face had a blank look, no pain whatsoever. The body forcefully made contact with the floor, its lonely echo unheard by others spreading in the abysmal location of his death. His end.
Down...

Author's Note: Well, did ya like it? I listened to the song "Ghost of You" while writing this fic. It gave me so much inspiration, that I began typing as soon as it started playing. I hope that this is really good, and please feel free to leave a review! I would also like to thank "LadyAeris1997" for helping me on this fic. Everyone else-please leave a review! Bye Bye!
