They said that we were never to be. They said I would never love. They said you could never take the place of basketball in my heart. They said…and they said…
I want to walk in the
rain with you.
Because I know you would never let me get wet.
I want to look into
your eyes forever.
Because I know you would never let me out.
I want to hold your hands forever.
Because I know you would never let go.
I looked at beautiful blue eyes that will never open. Looked at hair that wilted and never again to defy the gravity. Looked at lips that will whisper my name against my lips no more. Looked at the strong arms that will cease to encircle me passionately.
If only I could go back in time. Go back to the time when you stood outside my house, trying to get me to forgive you for being two hours late for our date. I would have pulled you out of the rain. I would have kissed your fear away. Go back to the time when you said 'I love you, Kaede,' I would have told you that I loved you too, Akira. I haven't done so many things that I wished I had.
I haven't told you that I needed you. I haven't told you that you were the only person there for me when the whole world left me. I haven't said so many things that I wished I had.
You broke your promise. You told me that you would never leave me. But you left. Should I blame the hereditary heart disease that took you? Should I blame the doctor who failed to save you in time? Should I blame you for letting go? Or should I blame myself for letting you go?
Because I know you loved me.
Because I know I loved you too.

This is dedicated to AkiraKaede ML with loads and loads of love. The one-shot amounts to 335 words, including this end note, which made the total number of words archived to be 100 000. It calls for celebration. After this, I shall again retreat into lurking.
