If I have just one more day.

I'd lie down and blind myself with laughter.

A quick fix of hope is what I'm needing.

And how I wish I could turn back the the hours.

But I know I just don't have the power.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

All I did was say these things. Hesitation, anxieties and dark clouds surrounded me. Then her operation was over. Rest is what she needs they told me. Maybe after a day she'll wake up. They told me they'll take care of her so I can go home but. I won't go. I'll make sure she's okay, just fine. The next thing that happened the morning after her first day of rest was she woke up. So happy to see her. I was holding her hand then. Then I looked at her. "You owe me one." I told her. She just smiled and didn't speak. "You told me to attend my classes and not to lie and you did these things." I tried to smile but the sadness inside me was so much bare in her sight. A tear fell from her eye. "D-Don't worry about me." She said in a weak voice. I wept. I touched her lips and told her everything was going to be fine. She cried as well. "Hisashi-san, Hisashi-san" She said as crystal tears flowed from her eyes. I can't take this anymore. All the pain and suffering that she had since birth. I let go of her hand and embraced her closer to me. The closest I reached to a girl. A special girl in my heart. "She cried continuously "I love you, I love you, I love you!" I cried once more and she did too. The greatest revelation I spoke out. "I don't care whatever you would say now. All I want to do is tell to tell how much you mean to me. Please Mizumi Tsukino, don't leave me." "Stop Hisashi-san." I stopped looking at her. A tear fell again from her eye but now not because of sadness but because of joy. "I love you." Then I felt her warmth again and we stayed for long until I need to leave. Everything was fine. Two weeks. The girl I loved until the next day.

I went on to her room and the whole hall was so crowded. What was happening? Mizumi! I rushed to her room again and went to her and there she was again in the operating room. Her heart couldn't sustain her sickness any longer. I touched the window of the operating with my sweaty hands and dropped down to my knees. She was crying so loud. I can't listen to her until. "HISASHI-SAN! HISASHI-SAN! NO! HISASHI-SAN!" I was shocked I stood up and went straight inside. Doctors stopped me but no match with a gangster's heart. "Mizumi! Hold on! I'm here!" "Hisashi.san." She said weakly and her eyes closed. "NO!" Then they threw me outside. I slept beside the door not moving there. It was so cold that night. So cold. So cold. "Hisashi-san. Wake up." "Mizumi?" "Don't worry now okay?" "How come?" "Don't speak." She drew herself near me and she was so warm. I embraced her as close as I could get and kissed her. My first kiss. Then I felt like her face was getting colder. Colder. Then I woke up. "MIZUMI!" She can't be dead. Then the nurses went out and nodded at me. My face brightened. "Mizumi!" I ran to her and she was there giggling. I brushed my tears as I saw her giggling. "You girl, what are you giggling?" I joked like I was angry. She knew I was joking so she just smiled. I embraced her again but now it's for real. I kissed her again but this time. It's for real. -----------------------------------------------------------------

Like sand on my feet.

The smell of sweet perfume.

You stick to me forever.Oh baby."

I wish you didn't go.

I wish you didn't go.

I wish you didn't go away.

To touch you again.

With life in your hands.

It couldn't be any harder.

Harder.

Harder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"I won't let you go now." "I won't go. I won't..Because I love you." "I love you too."
