There will be three songfics in this trilogy thing, just to let you know, and the new one will be out sometime today or tommorow.

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

You probably hate me right now, and I can't blame you. I can't imagine what a shock it must have been for me to tell you that I was going back to Ancient Egypt with the pharaoh a mere fifteen minutes before. If I could do it over, I wouldn't have hid my departure from you for so long. I know how emotional you can get. I've known you that long.

Sitting here in my room that the pharaoh gave us upon our return, I can't help but wonder if you've read my note yet. I have a feeling that you have. It's all I can do to stop from breaking down, I miss you so much. I long to hold you in my arms and make love to you like before, without a care in the world. I meant what I said, about coming back for you.

A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same

Would you be relieved to know that the pharaoh didn't have me put to death, even after everything I'd done? I hope that if you found out, you'd smile that special smile and your heart would fill with happiness.

Life here isn't as bad as I had imagined, it at least beats spending time with those pathetic humans you call your friends. The only thing that's missing is you.

But all these miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

Sometimes when I'm sleeping, I have these terrible dreams about you. I dream about you being alone and lonely, hurting...dead. I wish that I had a magic mirror, so that I could watch you. When I was there with you, I was always looking out for you. I never would have let anything happen to you. I would have died for you.

If you can hear my thoughts you must think I'm stupid. I say that I would have died for you when a mere two days ago I left you and went back to ancient Egypt. Of course, I bet if you saw me you'd forgive me. You would forgive anyone for whatever they did wrong.

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The Pharoah told me yesterday that he was grateful that I came with him. Then he tried to touch me and receive the same fire that you used to get. It's obvious that he doesn't care about Yugi. He used me to come here, because he said that he loves me. That baka pharaoh doesn't know the meaning of the word. You and I do.

I don't know what he'll do to me, now that I've refused him. All I can do is sit and wait. And think of your smiling face, your chocolate eyes. You may not know it, but I really miss you.

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life was overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

Up until now, things have been going well. I'm a respected citizen, after the pharaoh refused to have me executed. If they only knew his true intentions. His lies. Watching the sunset, I think of the time we spent lying on the roof, staring at the stars. You were so smart, and knew the names of all the stars.

I know that for a while I was a burden to you, and I wrecked havoc wherever you went. I know that you had to lie and say that you didn't know I was there. I remember how I used to torment you, until I finally realized that I loved you. I was so relieved when you admitted that you loved me back.

When we got together, I know that it alienated you from the people you called your friends. I'd always wanted to ask you if they were true friends. After all, they rarely ever included you by choice. You just usually were there so they invited you along.

I'm keeping a secret from you, and I know that you must feel it, even though we are years and miles apart. I know that you can tell that the pharaoh just came, and that when I refused him yet again he sentenced me to death tomorrow at dawn. You always considered me the strong one, the one who could take on the world. I'm sorry to ruin your thoughts, but I'm scared to death right now.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I'm sorry that I lied to you. I really did mean to bring you back here with me so that we could live in peace together. I'm afraid, though, that my time has been cut short. I wish you were here beside me right now. Comforting me in my hour of need.

The pharaoh just came to lead me down to the executioner. He's not speaking to me, and I can feel his hateful emotions everywhere. In the courtyard, where I am to die, I see many of the citizens watching and whispering. Everybody's taking a shot at me. I, however, can't seem to process any thought beyond the fact that I'm about to die without ever seeing you again.

Ignoring the jeers from the crowd, I prepare myself for my beheading. As I look up at the crowd one last time, I think that I see you, but it's just a mirage. Wishful thinking. The pharaoh is telling the crowd that I committed an act of treason. I wonder what they would think if they knew that the reason of my death is because I wouldn't sleep with him.

The pharaoh turns to me, and the blade is about to become my untimely demise. I close my eyes tightly and think of you, just in time to here someone scream my name from behind me.

"BAKURA!"
