As I secure her in my arms, for some reason, a lost memory resurfaces. I couldn't believe that I've forgotten it, I could have kicked myself for letting it slip away like this. But, I guess that's what happens when some crazed nut job comes hunting for us not just because of our armors but also of what we can do.
This particular memory should have never been lost in the first place. We've been dating for a while now, and it was our sophomore year in college. For some reason we both signed up for theatre. Not sure why, maybe we needed an elective, it didn't matter. The only thing that did, was that this was going to be the semester when I'm going to ask her to go steady, and nothing was going to prevent me from doing this.
Flashing light closes the fallen curtain.
Shortly in quiet.
One person on stage rests his cheek on his hand.
'Thank you' was murmuring to the back.
Perhaps we've finally found our way.
That thought suddenly crossed our mind.
I know deep within my heart that we're right for each other. I never felt this way towards anyone before, and I know she hasn't either. With the lives we lead, it's hard to even fathom the idea of having a relationship. We've been through extremely hard times, but, through everything, we've become stronger together than we ever would've apart. You showed me what it was like not to be lonely. I just hope that I can return the favor someday.
Someday Sometime.
Forgetting the year long journey.
Someday Sometime.
Photos in the album increase again.
I remember you asking me if I love you, and I asked myself how to begin to share with you the love I feel for you in my heart. Now, I'm giving you my answer. I took a few deep breaths and then gathered all the courage I could. Getting up, I walked over to her and took Kaye to the side.
"Kaye, I have something to ask you." I said with a bit of a shaky voice.
Kaye frowned slightly in concern, "Kento…What, is there something wrong?"
I shook my head and pulled out the small box, and handed it to her. "Remember when you asked me if I love you?" She nodded and I continued, "well, I'm going to give you my answer. Kaye, I love you with all of my heart, and I want to give this to you to prove it."
She opened it and then a tear of happiness flowed from the corner of her eyes. I took the ring out and slipped it onto her hand. Then I gently brought my hand up and wiped the tear away.
Someday we'll forget.
That day's hot pulsing, only that.
Left behind somewhere in our hearts.
Someday Sometime.
When we seem to be losing the fight with loneliness.
Someday Sometime.
Surely we'll also remember that time.
I felt myself waking from the memory when I felt her moving around in my arms. We looked towards each other, and our eyes met. She raised up her hand and I took hers in mine. At that moment, even through the harshest battles, we still believe in the love that we share with one another.
Someday Sometime.
When we seem to be losing the fight with loneliness.
Someday Sometime.
Surely we'll also remember that time.
