The bolded words are lyrics to a song called 'Graves' by the band Tokyo Police Club. I know the genre on this story says 'humor/romance' but this one is more of an 'angst/romance'.

Thanks if you read. reviews are nice!

Graves

Pack your rations pack a watch.
Change of clothes and a face cloth.

When you're with the person you live for you start to weaken over time. The feeling is that you start to become one with the person you love. Slowly, day by day, hour by hour, word by word...

Your smile becomes their goal and their happiness becomes your ever going adventure. Always seeking it.

The time spent doing nothing with them seems like the most amazing memories to look back on. Laying with them under a tree in the shade, Holding their hand while you both watch the snow build up and flurry around you, or just holding them when they sleep.

Then when they're gone it's like a sevrence.

You find it hard to breath when you're alone. Now that your reason for living isn't there, you're crippled and find it hard to rely on soley yourself to get through each hour. You start to become half the person you used to be. Quickly. minute by minute. second by second. Thought by thought...

Their smile becomes a distant scrap of thought that slips through your fingers in grains.

Now the times you come across the places you spent time with them doing nothing and everything at once, are the most painful memories to look back on...

Sora let the salty tear crawl down his cheek and into his mouth. He thought about packing essentials before he left, but this time he wasn't planning on coming back to have a room to unpack his things in.

He wasn't even intending on having a place to bring any of his possesions to.

Just him and his thoughts left the house where his friends slept and the moon shone brightly.

Meet me where your mother lies...
we'll dig graves on both her sides,

"Did you see the lights?"

Sora smiled as she described their walk animatedly. They would never talk on a walk, just hold hands and observe the things around them.

Twiglight Town was a beautiful sight to behold in the night from the hills nearby. Lights twinkled and warmed Sora's heart as he walked with the person he loved. The person he lived for.

"I tried to see them... But then I saw you walking next to me."

She smiled and kissed him with a giggle.

The person she lived for.

Another tear into his mouth to join the others was brought on by the memory of the night he walked with her near Twilight Town. Now he stood in a graveyard, the graves all black lumps in the night. He couldn't remember how he got there...

He went to the middle of the cemetery and found a familiar grave marked 'Lauren'. No last name. Sora knew his mother had no last name just like him.

He adjusted the bundle of orchids on the grave and stood again. 'Mother, what did it feel like?' he whispered. 'When dad was taken from you?'

He layed in the empty dug up grave next to his mother's with his tears. The stars refused to come out tonight even though there were no clouds. It left the moon to stand alone brightly in the black sky.

and lay ourselves inside.
and a thousand suns will set and rise...

"We were so young that night," he spoke to his mother's grave beside him.

"It was as if laughing with her made us kids again."

The smell of soil mixed with the smell of his own tears in his nose. Nothing seemed to have texture to him, but he could feel every sense as if it were talking to him like he was to his mother.

our hair tangled up in hers.
fingernails beneath the dirt.

One memory came to his mind of a morning he had woken up with his lover's hair fanned out in her sleep so that it had tangled in his. When she woke up they had laughed and tried to untangle it, failing after several tries they kissed and laughed instead.

Sora smiled in the grave and lightly ran a shaky hand through his hair.

sharing all her blackened brains.
our blood running through her veins.

One time he had been injured in a fight with a heartless and lost a lot of blood. When he woke up in his bed, she told him that he recieved a portion of hers.

"Now a part of me will always be with you."

leavin' as we came,
our bodies are one and the same...

There was no leaving this graveyard now...

Cause you traded me for the lump sum...
try but i'll never be a gentlemen...

"Sora! where are you?"

"I'm here hang on!"

"I- I'm slipping!"

"Grab my hand!"

you traded me for the lump sum...
try but you'll only ever treat the symptoms.

She could always tell what he was feeling and had her own way of keeping his head up when it seemed there was no hope. She was his cruch and he was hers.

But the day she fell down into that dark hole, Sora's cruch was taken out from under him...

Cause you traded me for the lump sum...
try but i'll never be a gentlemen...
you traded me for the lump sum...
try but you'll only ever treat the symptoms.

"I love you" he turned his head to the grave on the other side of the one he was laying in marked,

'Tifa Lockhart'.
