This is once more Riku's turn. It's like… Riku reflecting on his one-sided love for Kairi. Dedicated to my friend Cait simply because I was talking to her when I thought of this.
You Bring Me Home
I knew all along
How you felt about me
And how you felt about him.
I knew
That you loved him
And that you didn't love me
At least not in that way.
But I couldn't help it
Falling in love with you, Kairi.
I couldn't stop
The feelings I felt
When I looked at you.
But now neither of you are here with me
On this desolate
Empty
Pointless
Road of Twilight.
But that's okay.
Because being so far from you
Makes every step worth it
So I can go home
And see you.
Kairi…
You bring me home every day
A little by little
Watching the clouds roll by
Like I know you are
Sitting on the island
Watching the horizon
Hoping
And waiting
For Sora and I
To join you.
You bring me closer to that horizon
Every day
You bring me home in my dreams at night
You bring me home in my imagination at daytime
And any time I think
To stop and take a break, I remember
That I love you.
But a thought struck me recently.
I hurt you
And Sora
Very much.
What right do I have to come back home
And keep loving you
And calling Sora my friend.
Do I have a right to do that?
Well… no.
But then why do I still
Want, so badly
To be in love with you
And to be best friends with Sora?
Because
That makes me
A little more human
Than I was before.
And every time I get closer
To the humanity I was losing
A little at a time…
Just like always, Kairi.
Every time I regain my lost
Humanity and reality
I get a little closer to
Where you are.
Kairi….
You bring me home every day.
Until one day…
I'll wake up….
And I'll find
That 'home'
Was with you all along.
