i don't own rk

Kaoru layed in her bed motionless looking at the picture on her night table beside her bed. A small wooden frame circled a picture of someone she cared so much.

I sit alone,
With only my thoughts,
And memories of times past.

Kaoru reached over and gently took the picture into her delicate soft hands. There she lye with a picture sat onto her stomach. She looked into the lavendar eyes of Kenshin who was dressed in his uniform. She remembered the day when Kenshin gave her the picture of him.

You'll see me every morning when you wake up to another day...he had said softly to her. Kaoru traced her fingers around his handsome face and remembered putting her arms around him never wanting to let go.

I sit here sad,
Wanting to recapture,
Times we've had.

She remembered her first kiss with Kenshin it was so special to her. Feeling his hands around her waist knowing that she would always be his and he would always be hers.

She felt the passion that came within the kiss, she felt...love that came within the kiss. She missed him so much.

I sit here crying,
Longing to feel your embrace,
Your kiss.

Tears streamed down her already flushed cheeks because she knew that she probably would never feel that feeling from him again.

She missed walking to and from school with him, his hand holding hers tightly letting her know that he wouldn't let go...not ever. Hissmile was so heart warming, everytime he smiled Kaoru just had the best feeling in her heart knowing that he was happy, which made her happy.

She missed his eyes, oh how lovely they were to her. Whenever she smiled at him she noticed a twinkle that brightly shown in his lavendar pools. It seemed like they would only twinkle just for her.

She missed everything about him his sweet personality, his lovingly gaze, but mostly importantly she missed...him.

But all of these,
I cannot have,
You're far away.

Kaoru arose from her bed, she still held the picture in her hands. She walked over to her bedroom window and sat in her small cozy chair that faced the open window.

The drapes of her window slowly, silently swayed from the wind that escaped into her room.

Strands of her hair flew backwards resting on the back of her chair. She looked out her window and saw the brightly shining sun resting on the horizon of the land ready to start another day for the other side of the world.

She peered down at the picture that layed in her hands and tears started to over flow her already reddened eyes.

"Ken...shin..."she said dryly. Her tears fell from her eyes and landed on the picture. She dried her tears and wiped the picture dry with the sleeve of her dark red jacket.

Being far away from Kenshin made her heart ache. The uncontrollable sobbing, the pain that woulddn't and probably never go away, and the worst feeling is probably never going to see him again.

Two hearts apart,
Yet so close together.

But in the pit of her heart she knew that he was still out there somewhere and that he missed her as well as she missed him.

She doubt that Kenshin was dead...he just couldn't be.

She looked out the window once more feeling the pain and suffering that is amongst her, which is letting her know that she truly...deep down inside loves Kenshin.

Longing for each other,
Yearning for the time,
When we won't be...
Far away...
