I watched you.
I felt agonizing pain shoot through my body. I
tried to keep my legs steady as my torn shirt brushed against my
wounds.
I stretched out my hand to you and pointed weakly.
Your
petrified smile expected something different as I choked.
"I
love you."
Was all I could say.
Boredom of this cage that was my home haunted me.
I
wanted out into a world of something new.
The way you saw my
humanity was the same as how I could see it.
Are we so
different?
Are we as different at we thought we saw each other?
I
thought like you.
We were smarter than the others.
But I
couldn't admit to it.
I hated the thought.
I hate it.
All
of it.
Even...
Even Zim.
'For my Tallest!'
What
could possibly drive you to destroy this world?
There's nothing
good of it.
Reasons of why I stand in your way escape me.
I
couldn't think of an excuse if you asked me.
So don't.
Whether
they're worth it or not was not an issue.
No matter what I
possibly did.
No one could believe.
No one listened.
Why is it?
What
makes this filth of a planet any special?
Why couldn't you
murder another race?
They didn't do anything.
They can't
even think it through.
Nor realize the destruction of their
existence.
So why?
Why wouldn't I just let you take
their lives?
There's no reason for me to be here.
Why
wouldn't I just let you take over?
I bet it would make their
constant mocking cease.
I bet it would make the pain go away.
I
bet it'd be better.
I bet I'd be happier.
I bet I could
smile about it.
Show me.
I'll believe you.
"Dib...?"
His voice was muffled by my mind
slipping in and out of consciousness.
I watched you.
I listened
to you.
'I...'
Don't
loose faith.
I know we don't make sense.
You'll get it.
'I
care.'"Dib!!"
I
don't understand you either.
Why would you continue to
watch?
Why stay?
What's here that's so important?
Why
not leave?
You stayed.
I watched.
I
listened.
'Don't go...'
I
saw you watching me.
When I experienced plastic emotions.
I saw
your face burn with fury.
When all of it came to a beginning less
end.
I wanted to listen closer.
Listen to what you were saying.
What you were thinking.
'They
don't love me.'I
could feel you coming closer.
Come closer.
Pain.
Tell me
everything.
I don't want to sleep.
I want to see you.
'Like
you love me.'Why
do I keep trying to protect them?
I thought I felt like I
belonged.
If they weren't there.
I'd have no one.
I'd
be alone.
Show me.
No.
I'll see.
No.
Save me.
'Show
me.'I
felt warmth around my hand.
I felt a shivering figure.
"Don't go..."
Where did you go?
'Insolent
fool!'
My smile.
'Try to run away, Dib!'Are you looking for it?
'I've got you now!'Where did it go?
'I've won!'"No."
My
eyes opened.
My hand felt his.
I could see you crying.
"Don't
go..."
I could hear you.
"Where did it go?"
Consciousness.
"Where did you go?"
My hand weakly reached up to brush
his cheek and his eyes fluttered.
He stared at me with shock
stricken eyes,
as I smiled up at him.
Ignoring the pain.
I
wanted him to know.
'I'm not leaving.'"I'm right here."
'I'm not dying yet.'I watched you.
And you saw.
