Missing You When you where gone When I woke up My life... My time froze Because Every night I go out In our meeting place But...you are not...there I never thought I could ever fall...in love But you showed me The meaning of love I miss the way You hold me... I miss the way You touch me .... I miss everything in...You Oh Baby, Don't know what to do Now that we are apart I miss everything Especially.... ...YOU

Rogue snuck out of the mansion night after night praying that he would be there. Every morning she was found asleep, with dried tear streaks on her face. She cried every night away. Eventually she realized that it was over. That they would never be again.

She tried to move on with her life. She attempted to date the few who knew and didn't care about her mutation but she found no comfort in their arms. They didn't touch her the way he had.

She contemplated leaving, going somewhere where she wasn't known, where no one would care. And as the time passed she regarded life as just another thing to survive.

Her heart had hardened over the past few months. She cared little and little every day. She became a hazard to herself, doing suicidal things during battles and as a book once said, it's always the reckless who survive, and she managed to make it through every time.

Everyone tried to be there for her, to help her through her pain. But she denied them that. She didn't want anyone to touch her. She didn't want anyone to be close to her. She cried herself to sleep every evening, wondering why it was that life hated her so much and why it was so cruel.

One dark night she opened the window because of the suffocating heat in her bedroom. That night she dreamt of him. He was lying next to her, urging her to live. He held her in his arms and she cried and told him that she needed him wanted him to stay with her.

He told her that she needed to find something that would keep her alive. She told him the only reason she was able to make it through the day was hoping she'd one day be with him.

She woke up the next morning and cried, gripping something in her hand. She opened it and found a card, the one with the Queen of hearts. She brought it to her lips and let it linger there, knowing that he had truly been with her the night before.

She wanted him, needed him near.

Remy stared at her outside of her window, hidden by it's leaves. He sat their every night and watched her, watched her cry for him, and he cried with her. His life, since that last night had been one of turmoil. He joined up with a band of thieves but wasn't able to concentrate and had been kicked out. He couldn't rejoin the Acolytes, she had changed his heart and he wouldn't, couldn't go back.

He didn't know where he stood. But prayed that the way would shine like a beacon before him.
