i've flown too high on borrowed wings
beyond the clouds and where the angels sings
in a sky containing
no one but me
up there's all empty
and down there's the sea
no one here but me
there's nothing but light
that comes into sight, oh
there's something up here that makes me wince
and i still got the feelings that i've felt ever since
i got to this place
arrived at last
in front there's the future
right back there's the past
everything's moving so fast
there's nothing but light
that comes into sight, oh
the present like i've never seen it before
is this the right place to stay?
please, my wings
fly me away
the present like i've never seen it before
is this the right place to stay?
please, my wings
fly me away
please my wings
fly me away
please, my wings
fly me away

He lay there, broken and bleeding. Beneath the vast white sky, he lay, simply unmoving. The redness of his blood was so startlingly red, beautiful yet ugly. His hands curled into a loose fist, he slept on. His fiery orange hair, soft and wet, lay tousled, yet he slept on. His skinny lean frame shivered slightly in the cold wind as he felt the distant cold, yet he slept on.
The Heavens opened up and it started to rain. Soft white flaky rain….snow…it fell down, drifting slowly and gently embraced the sleeping boy. Caressing his smooth cold skin, the snow embraced him, not wanting to let this beautiful boy go. It wantedhim for itself.
A crunch of footsteps on the snow.
Beautiful man stepped out, his long blond hair shinning softly. His green eyes were soft as they fell upon the sleeping boy.
I found you…
The words seemed to be plucked out of the air, given shape by the thought of the beautiful man. He walked towards the sleeping boy and knelt down by his side. He seemed to be asleep. Brushing away the snow, he gently scooped the sleeping boy into his arms.
I found you…
I thought I was flying…
Kyo was in this realm…a realm of…dreams? He didn't know…but it was so peaceful here. He never wanted to go out of this place. Safe and warm, he slept on, vaguely aware of his outside surroundings, yet detached from them. He knew he was forgetting something…what? He couldn't remember…did it matter? No, not really…
And so, he continued sleeping…
But suddenly a sharp agonizing pain woke him up. Clutching his side where the pain seemed to be, he looked down bewildered.
Red…why was his hand red?
"Choose…"
Kyo's head whipped up, his eyes widened with fear and anger. What was HE doing here? Growling slightly, he looked around, trying to see that poisonous boy…
"Choose…either you or Yuki…as simple as that…at the end of the road, there'll always be me…I'll be the one left…I take care of you filthy animals…is this not what I should deserve from you all? Your complete devotion, gratitude, freedom…and your life?"
"NO! NEVER! My answer will always be the same! Always Yuki…no matter…you can't use your poisonous words against me…they may hurt but they won't work…I ain't afraid of you!" Kyo shouted into the light.
"Really? Not afraid of me? Is that really true? Are you not afraid of me? Are you not afraid of losing your freedom? Don't you think of the passing time in the darkness? How much time you have left before I shut you away completely…all there'll be will be a small window where you'll see the sun set…but never see it rise…where it's always dark…are you sure?" his sweetly poisonous words echoed in the light, amusement and cruelty laced in his tone.
Kyo shook as he tried to get those words out of his mind. NO!
It would be so easy to simply give in and choose himself.
So easy to simply say, " Choose me…not Yuki…" and then Yuki will be the one imprisoned…so easy.
So easy and yet so wrong…
"I AM afraid…but I ain't afraid of YOU, you stinking coward!" Kyo shouted, closing his eyes.
I'm just afraid that I won't remember what the sun feels like onmy skin when summer comes...
I'm just afraid that I will stop caring…
I'm afraid of being alone with my hate and my anger…
I'm just afraid of…forgetting the people I know and love…
I'm just afraid that memories won't be enough to sustain me…
I'm just afraid…of simply letting go…
I'm afraid that one day I might simply not wake up…
I'm scared…
