I Will Remember You...

By Ruki(lyrics by Sarah McLachlan)

Author's Note: Hikari's POV. My first songfic.

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

My throat clutched the lump inside it, tears running down my face. He was gone... he would never come back. Before I could tell him about my love towards him... and I'm preparing for my best friend's eulogy. My fists formed suddenly, recalling the connection of the bullet with his head. We had been walking home from the movies, he had to tell me something. The assassin(culprit) wasn't been caught yet. I'm under police custody.

Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one

"You were the bravest of brave, a role model. Everyone admired you," I began,"You were my best friend. When we met, you were always comforting me through my crisis. That would have been enough, but you continued our friendship to what it was now, and now you're gone". I paused, I had started to cry again.

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

"Everything that happened to me, you protected me. You were always there for me, and never let me return the favor. You had everything anyone would want: popularity, friends, start player, half singer... which also makes me remember your karoke with Yamato". I lingered to the thought, a tear dripped silently.

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard

I started into a continous weep, not able to stop. Tears dripping, face sagging, I cried out his name, "Takeru Takaishi! I will never forget you!"

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

"Every joke, every prank, every laugh, all from you," I sobbed.
"Your warmth, your heart, your light, your endless care"
"That would have been enough"

I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

"You made the world a better place!" I weeped,"and made me a better person"

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories

"I loved you..." I started, cut off by constant sobs and raindrops. I placed flowers down, daisies.
"In honor of Takeru Takaishi..."
