I'm afraid to die.

I'm afraid to leave this world without knowing that there is another who will be captivated by her simple smile…who will look into her eyes and see their future together…who will hold her hand when she is afraid and tell her that they will never leave her…who will listen to every word she says and be lost by her voice…who will stand by her side no matter what...who will hug her, and kiss her, when she feels that nobody loves her anymore…who will tell her what a wonderful person she is, when she loses her self-confidence…

Someone who will look at her every morning when she wakes up, and tell her she's the most beautiful person that they had ever seen in their life…someone who will wake up in the middle of the night, just to stare lovingly at her face even if they're tired…someone who will respect her family and will do everything just to be accepted by them…someone who will go to every drugstore just to buy the right medicine, when she's sick…someone who will wake up at five in the morning, to cook her favorite breakfast, even though they don't know much about kitchen stuff…

A person who will willingly throw away everything in their life, just to be with her…a person who will take care of her…a person who will accept her fully, no matter how arrogant she may seem at times…a person who will love her...as much as…I love her…

And I don't want to die...not yet...when she still doesn't know how I feel about her…
not when I still haven't said those three magic words that I've been trying to avoid for the longest time.

And now, I wouldn't deny it any longer.
I do not care anymore about the consequences.

Let the world know…

That I…am in love…with the most wonderful person that I have ever met…

…

I saw Eudial walk towards her to point the gun in her chest.

"No! Haruka!"

I ran towards her.

I got hit by arrows.

Once. Twice.

I'm not afraid to die!

I will save you, my love.

"Michiru! Don't!" I heard her say.

But I was not afraid.

Bang!

A gunshot was heard and I felt blood flowing out of my chest.

My existence was slowly fading, yet I smile for I know that I have saved her.

I closed my eyes as I tried to fight back the tears threatening to spill.

Bang!

"Michi, don't leave me."

Of course, Haruka. I love you too much to leave you.

Our hands met for the last time.

"Aishiteru, Ruka."

"Aishiteru, Michi."

I was dying, yet I was happy. I smiled, for I know that we will always be together.

Now and forever...

"Who'd have thought
This is how the pieces fit?
You and I
Shouldn't even try making sense of it

I forgot
How we ever came this far
I believe we had reasons
but I don't know what they are
So blame it on my heart, oh

Love moves in mysterious ways
It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still, it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways

Heaven knows
Love is just a chance we take
We make plans
But then love demands a leap of faith

So hold me close
And never let me go
'Cause even though we think we know
which way the river flows
That's not the way love goes, no

Like the ticking of the clock
two hearts beat as one
But I'll never understand
the ways it's done

Love moves in mysterious ways It's always so surprising
When love appears over the horizon
I'll love you for the rest of my days
But still, it's a mystery
How you ever came to me
Which only proves
Love moves in mysterious ways
Love moves in mysterious ways..."
