What remains after love?
I'm
sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry
I'm sorry for all the hurt that
I have cause you,
I'm sorry for are the wrong that I never did
right.
I'm sorry for every breath that I take that you did
not.
I would utter a hundred million prayers for you
I
would cry a river of tears if I could
I would build a staircase
of blood to heaven
just to see you
touch you
just once
more
I'm sorry for a million trillion things...
I'm sorry
I didn't tell you...
After love
But most of all...
I'm
sorry that I have to be sorry...
Fingertips too dry brushed over your carved name and my heart heaved. My stomach feels too full and I really want to vomit, but I can't, can't, can't and it is just so painful. This tight knot in my chest.
Can't breathe.
I whisper the words softly against the stone over and over again, in hope that these words that are too late will reach where you are...
You didn't deserve to die this way. I can never run across the roofs without thinking of you... Needless to say you continue to haunt my dreams, my life my every waking second and not. I will forever remember watch you chew your pencil in class. The way you cough and hack is endearing to me. Every little thing is so vivid now. But I'm terrified that one day I will forget... Forget you.
I can't... I didn't say the words yet…
"Are you sure you want to do this? He was important, maybe you need sometime?" The shadow of Sandaime falls over the crouching figure of me.
"No... I can do it; I will judge the final matches of the Chuunin Exams."
After love...

Love does not end.
