To be with You
Staring at the ocean, hearing the wind in the leaves, I start to think, that there is someone missing, someone who used to be here, but is now lost. Someone, who I knew very well, and although I want to see him again, it may be too late. He may not even remember me.
It was not too long ago, on these shores where I stand, that I met someone. He used to be a calm one, saying what he thought without a care. He was the one that I looked up to, and the one I felt something for. Riku was his name. I remember that name, and I could never forget it, for he was the one who filled me with so much more then life. We would go on many adventures, trying to beat the odds everyday, away from home. Those times of make-belief, and mystery, will stick with me always.
I sit here, staring at the ocean, hoping that he will come back to me whenever I wish it. But, I cannot dream enough. It must be as I see it, for Riku, was much more then a friend. We would express what we felt for each other, in the most honest way we could. Not just with the "I love yours, but so much more.
It was those times that I remember all too well. And now, all I can do is hope that he made it through the darkness in his own heart. He had a secret that he wished I never knew. But when I found out, he had already changed. It was like he wasn't himself. And he forced me to fight with him. He wore a different outfit, it was a different Riku. Not the same one I remember, but different, in appearance, and in spirit. He used to be a calm one, asking questions which he had already answered, but now, he was someone in search of revenge. It wasn't really him. He looked like him, and he talked like him, but still, there was something missing from him. His heart. He wanted so much to be the best, and all the times we fought before, I guess I should've guessed, that this would happen someday or another, I guess now that I have to fight him. What choice do I have, but to fight him? There is no escape. No exit can be found. There is only darkness, and I cannot see the ground.
I only see two eyes, green and blue, an aqua color, eyes that I remember so well, yet changed. Everything about him changed, and there was nothing I could have done to stop it. I only was worrying about the other two that accompanied me, instead of worrying about you. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe, I still care about you? I still do, yet as our blades crash, I can still feel your heart beating. It is inside you, and someone has taken it away from you. Do you not feel anything for me anymore? I need you Riku...
I can only pray that you still hear me, and that you will be able to come out and see me. Escape this body that has taken your soul, and come back to me Riku, come back home. Let us run and be free, like it was all a memory. Let's make love one more time, so that I don't have to say goodbye. Let your spirit fall so I may catch you, and hold you, and tell you once more that...
I love you
