One Sweet Day

iSorry I never told you, I'll I wanted to say. Now it's too late to hold you, because you've flown away. So far away.
Not ever, had I imagined. Living, without your smile. Feeling, and knowing you hear me. It keeps me alive. ALIVE!
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven. Like so many friends we've lost along the way. Yukari, Folken, Malaika, Ryu, Van. And I know, eventually, we'll be together. One sweet day. Darling, I never showed you. I just assumed you'd always be there.
I took your presence for granted. But I always cared, and I missed the love we shared.
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven. Like so many friends we've lost along the way. And I know, eventually, we'll be together. One sweet day.
Although, the sun will never shine the same, I'll always look to a brighter day.
Oh Lord, I know, when I'm laying down to sleep. You will always listen, as I pray.
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven. Like so many friends we've lost along the way. And I know, eventually, we'll be together. One sweet day. Eventually, I'll see you in heaven./i
Hitomi grasped her pillow tightly, and tears rolled down her cheeks, "Oh Van.I miss you. Please Van, I want to be held in your arms once more. Van, I love you. No one is here to celebrate my birthday. Oh Van, did you send all the presents? No! I know you didn't. You can't. Not ever again. The only person who wished me a Happy Birthday, was Amano. He didn't even come over. Just a telephone call. Oh Van, do you think Merle and Allen remember? Hotaru didn't. Actually, she probably didn't even care. Cordillia the same. They didn't even invite me on their trip! Van, I don't know how much longer I can live without you. I hide my sadness for the whole day, but it all unravels every night. Oh Van." Hitomi rolled over. Bright lights flashed outside. BEEP, BEEP!! Hitomi jumped up, out of bed.
"Cordillia," Hotaru complained, "I still don't see why we're asking Hitomi to come. You don't even like her." "Well," Cordillia replied ignorantly, trying to think of an excuse, "I.Well I, um.I just, um, just want to, uh, have Hitomi come, because. Because, uh, I don't want her to . Wreck our houses! Yeah! I don't want my house wrecked, because remember last time she through a party there." Cordillia wiped the sweat from her forehead. Hotaru gave her an unsure look "Um, Ok." She said as Hitomi came out of the house. "Hey guys, just stopped by to say goodbye?" Hitomi said. "Hhhh, get in," Cordillia sighed. Hitomi suddenly pulled out two, overstuffed suitcases, and threw them in the limo. The car sunk lower to the ground. Hitomi jumped in. Big drops of sweat appeared on Cordillia and Hotaru's foreheads.
Hotaru, Seto, Hitomi, and Joey were sleeping in the back of the limo. Cordillia continued to drink her coffee as she thought, 'Why can't I fall asleep? I feel so energetic for some reason. Hmmm? Oh well.' She looked over at Hitomi. She was laying on Seto's lap. Cordillia threw her on the floor and replaced her with Hotaru. She continued by placing Seto's hand on her butt. Cordillia smiled with satisfaction and wrapped Joey's arms around her. She closed her eyes, and quickly reopened and looked over at Hotaru and Seto. Then she placed Joey's hand on her butt, and smiled. Cordillia closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Later, Hitomi yawned, and stretched out her arms. She got up, and sat down on the seats. Hitomi looked out the window at the bright stars. It was a full moon tonight. It dimly lit up the desert landscape. The sky was so clear, pitch back, and filled with millions of dazzling stars. Hitomi rolled down the window, and let the desert breeze blow on her face. She closed her eyes. The cool, night wind felt so good blowing through her hair, caressing her face. Hitomi opened her eyes, and stared up at the dim moon, "iSorry I never told you, I'll I wanted to say./i"
