AN: Actually, a journal entry for my English class. Well, he said we could write about whatever we wanted. HAHAHA! TAKE THAT OWINGS!! Indeed, and let me say, it WAS dedicated to Kaiba when it was a journal entry, so Owings is aware that I am crazy. ^_^

Promises

I never promised you nothing. I only promised you everything. I promised to always be there for you and I promised to protect you, no matter what, but now it hurts to look at you.

I look into your eyes and all I see is happiness. I see your smile and hear your laughter as it rings through the halls of our house. You're happy, but all I want to do is cry. Oh, God. I already am. I wake up every morning and wish I hadn't, but at the same time I'm also glad I did. You wouldn't understand little brother. You don't understand that to protect you, I hurt myself. To keep you safe, I felt my own pain. To let you live, I die a little each day. And you don't see my pain. But that makes me happy and sad. I see you and I can see what I was and what I am not anymore, but that doesn't matter.

I promised you forever and a day.
