Dear Ikko, Day 41
Last night I was spending the dark hours in a cave only a few yards away from the road. It was raining outside. I was lying on my back with my eyes closed, when suddenly I heard a soft noise, like a footprint, at the front of the cave. I sat up quickly and opened my eyes looking around the cave. There was someone coming towards me. The darkness made it hard to see who it was. I focused my eyes for a moment and instantly…I knew.
I opened my mouth; probably about to say something stupid, when I felt two fingers against my lips to silence me. Then, that mysterious hand moved to my jaw-line. I could see the face of my intruder clearer now. This brought tears to my eyes as many, precious memories flooded into my mind. He whispered something gently to me, then I felt his lips embrace my own. Words cannot describe how I felt within that one kiss.
I pulled back for a second, still trying to take in this moment. I looked into his eyes once more…he also had tears streaming down his face. I pulled him closer to me and kissed him once again—holding it, drinking up every drop of passion and energy that radiated from it. He breathed in deeply and smiled at me, laying his head on my chest. I found myself uttering his name—
"Sora…"
It was then that I awoke in the dark cave…all alone.
