This song... It speaks of us. It reminds me of us, of you.
The memories I have...the painful nostalgia.
My heart breaks.

We walk home together, another day of school. My shadow walks ahead, you beside it.
I slide the door open and Kon jumps on me. You have been screaming to him and he wants my comfort. I punch him off.
Dinner is noisy as usual. Your father attacks you again and you attack him back. He slides down the wall as we take our seats.
School days. I make a comment and you get mad. Asano pinches your cheek, somehow holding you back. You and him look at me. Ishida, Mizuiro and Sado laugh.
Lunch under the tree with the girls. Inoue tries to feed me, Arisawa talks to her. I don't taste Inoue's food.
We are at the park, all five of us. Inoue sniffs the blooming flowers, Ishida and Sado are close by. You look at the flowers on hedge. I watch this all as the flowers float around us.
Memories flash through my mind. We are on the roof, and you are blushing, explaining something. We are in your room, and you refuse a task. We are outside, you have a jacket on. You smile. You're crouched down, comforting the soul of a young boy. You shake his hand and tell him to be strong. I feel proud. We are by the river, walking back home. You point at something you want to show me.
The sky is red, the sun is setting. We are walking home from school, your bag over one shoulder. You look back at me and give me a smile before tapping once gently on my forehead. You look back forward, grinning. I don't have the heart to hit you back.
I trail behind and watch all of you. Everyone looks happy. I feel warmth spreading through me.
Your Shinigami days. I see you wounded and bleeding from your fight with Grand Fisher. When my brother and Renji comes for me, you are bleeding again and on the ground, begging me to explain. You're surrounded by the team sent to the Living World, and you turn around when you sense me, your head bandaged up. You protected me in Hueco Mundo from Yammy. We are separated for a long time, until we finally meet again, Aizen defeated. Your hair is long, your clothes in tatters. You stand up, your face lit up in relief and happiness.
That time long ago, you saving me from my execution. You're grinning, eyes determined and strong. That time, I knew for certain that nothing now would stop you from anything you want to achieve.
Our last moments together. Your face is full of sorrow as we look at each other for that last second before I fade. The doors of the Senkaimon are closing, and I see your final, gentle smile.

The (BLEACH) video is so...heartbreaking! It's too sweet and beautiful. Well, it's lodged in my chest and I have to write down the sequence. It's so sad!
If you don't really get what I'm talking about in the 'fic' above, you'll have to watch the video. No link, I'm afraid. Just search it up on YouTube or something.
