A/N: So I found the sudden urge to write poetry while in church and I wrote the poem down below. I am not the best poetry writer, so I understand if it's a little repetitive and cliche. I am going to take a break before writing a sequel to my other story. This poem and story are roughly based off of the book, "The Sun is Also a Star." Really good book. Anyway, the story, hope you enjoy:

You said we would be together

That our love would last forever

They were the perfect couple. Ladybug and Cat Noir, more than just friends and partners now. They had promised, once they revealed, that they wouldn't judge the other's identities. The day had been spent perfectly, hanging out along the Seine, jumping on rooftops, and finally ending at the gorgeous sunset illuminating the Eiffel Tower.

"How did you like today M'Lady? Don't you agree with me now? Aren't we a purrfect couple?" he purred. She just smiled at him.

"We could be together Ladybug. I will always love you forever, no matter who you are." Those words whispered in Ladybug's ear, as they held each other close. She had learned, deep down, that she truly loved him. The puns, the cheeky grin, the overprotective nature. And those beautiful catlike green eyes. She had truly believed that their love would last forever.

"I guess I'll go first," he whispered, looking deep into her eyes.

"No, we do it at the same time, together."

"Spots off-"

"Claws in-"

Two pairs of eyes, both emerald and bluebell, glanced at each other.

"Marinette?"

"Adrien?"

Torn apart by our own personal defeats

Secrets lost you were supposed to keep

Tears formed in their eyes as they realized their true love. Adrien smiled at her, accepting her identity.

"I'm glad it was you Bugaboo. Shall we go defeat Hawkmoth, once and for all?" He gave her an iconic grin.

Her throat was parched, but words managed their way through her dry mouth. "Once and for all," she echoed.

A battle was fought and won, things were looking up for the two partners. Then Hawkmoth was revealed.

"It was you all along, father?" his heartbroken face stared down at the man called Hawkmoth. Ladybug tried to hug him, to comfort the boy she loved. But he just pushed her away, tears streaming down his face. Time, time would let him heal, it would fix him. She left.

Later, at the beautiful Eiffel Tower, they met up.

"Ladybug, we're going to have to wait. 'Us' is going to have to wait." His glare was enough to stop her from approaching him.

"Adrien, that alright. But I have something I need to tell you. Please don't be mad at me."

One fight and it was all gone

One thought that this was all wrong

"I'm moving." she whispered, almost to herself.

He blew up at her, towering over her with a rage that was unnotable. "So, this was your plan? To say that you loved me and then break my heart right when I'm down? Isn't losing my father enough? My mother is gone. My father turned out to be the villain who has been trying to kill us for the past two years and now you decide you want to move!?" He yelled at her with so much force as she cowerd beneath him.

"Adrien, I didn't mean to make you feel that way! I only found out this afternoon." Tears streamed uncontrollably from her face.

"Maybe we weren't meant to be together. Maybe we were all wrong about this. We're over." He turned to leave, but a red-gloved hand stopped him.

"Please Adrien, don't say that. I could come back. I might not even be moving. I love you," her body shook as she held onto him. "You said we would be together, that you would love me forever," she quoted him from earlier. "Please."

"Well, if you thought that, then you thought wrong." He hissed and jumped off the Tower, into the now dark night, leaving her sobbing. That would be the last time he saw her.

Alone was the way you left me

The day that I carved our names into a tree

Years passed, but Adrien could still remember the perfect day he had with his lady, his princess.

LB + CN, 2gether 4ever

That was what the inscription said. Sitting on a hill, just outside Paris, they had a little picnic. When they finished joking around and eating, they talked, lying down under a tree and gazing at the oh, so blue sky.

"LB, do you love me? I know you can't resist tree. You always are pining over me."

"Oh, Chat, you have the worst puns. Why don't you just scratch your name into the tree to show how purrmanent it is." She rolled her eyes.

"But of course, M'Lady." And he did just that. She had giggled at him, while he smiled proudly at his artwork.

And now she was gone. Not a day passed without him regretting his decision. Adrien Agreste became no more, instead becoming a rogue, an outcast, a street cat.

I waited here patiently,

Looking for signs defeatedly.

Out of anger, he had burned his mansion down, chasing away anyone who came close. The familiar bakery on the corner was boarded up and dusty. He found refuge there, waiting for Marinette. She had promised. Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to days.

He often found himself in her empty room, staring at the ceiling and what used to be her desk. He was alone. Everytime the phone rang, he jumped, staring at the caller I.D, hoping it was her. It was just Alya and Nino, trying to find him, trying to help him as Marinette once had.

She wanted to call him, but her heart wouldn't let her. She just wasn't ready.

You never came back,

My heart stopped like a broken track.

His life became a depressing misery. Every once in a while, Alya and Nino came by to check on their old friend. Plagg offered words of comfort.

"Adrien, kid, move on. She's just one girl. Don't waste the rest of your life mourning. Yah, you made some bad decisions but I need you to be happy." He still feared that Adrien could become akumatized, even with Hawkmoth retained and vanquished.

"Adrien, you have to move on. She's gone. She's not coming back. She's happy where she is." They showed him a glossy set of pages. On a designing and fashion magazine was a beautiful smiling face. She's probably forgotten me. They're right. She's happy.

Adrien lost the will to love, the will to care, and the will to cry. He was lost in memories. He could have stopped her from leaving.

I'm trying to get over,

But some things just can't be fixed.

After endless protest from family and loved once, he came out of the light. Seven years of darkness and his appearance changed. His hair was longer,dirty, and matted. His handsome face held dark lines of stress and sadness. How would he continue with his life? His house was gone, his family, his reputation, his education. Paris didn't need him as a superhero anymore.

So he turned back to the old career of modeling. His already lean body still had some of the old muscle on it and had grown a couple of inches taller. Soon, he became known as "The Boy in Sadness," for his sad, emotional poses in dark and white lights.

Without You.

So much pain for someone of only twenty-one years of age. So much loss.

That glimmer of hope grew,

When they said you would returned.

A poster here, a sign there. They held a small girl, barely a woman, on the front. A brilliant designer. Named Marinette. Adrien felt hope in his heavy heart for the first time in years. The glossy magazine read, "Famed fashion designer makes tours in Rome and Paris."

I had lost everything,

My home, my heart had burned.

Adrien stepped up to the blackened remains and rubble of what used to be his house. His mother had loved the garden but it now was a charred pile of ashes and scorched dirt.

My long lost lover,

When the sunrise rose,

The sun glowed on the first day of spring. The cherry trees surrounding the streets of Paris let out their beautiful blossoms, like soft pink snow. A small cat darted around Adrien's legs, purring softly. It's eyes seem to be wanting him to follow it.

Looked at me.

My troubles went away,

A girl, or rather, a young woman, was sitting on a bench near his old school. Her long straight hair was so dark it was almost blue. As he approached her, she turned. The sun shone in her bluebell eyes. A sparkling tear ran down her face.

Adrien's heart felt full, for once in his years alone.

I hope your here to stay.

She couldn't be a dream. She looked so real, but he was afraid that if he touched her, she would disappear like so many of his nightmares.

You said we would be together,

That our love would last forever.

Torn apart by our own personal defeats,

Secrets lost you were supposed to keep.

One fight and it was all gone,

One thought that this was all wrong.

Alone was the way you left me,

That day that I carved our names into a tree.

I waited here patiently,

Looking for signs defeatedly.

You never came back,

My heart stopped like a broken track.

I'm trying to get over,

But some things just can't be fixed.

Without You.

That glimmer of hope grew,
When they said you had returned.
I had lost everything,
My home, my heart had burned.
My long lost lover,
When the sunrise rose,
Looked at me.
My troubles went away,
I hope your here to stay.

Time seemed to stop as a familiar yet dreamlike pair of eyes stared at him. He hadn't seen them in so long. "Marinette." His breath stopped. All of the background seemed to melt into the person standing in front of him. His tall body towered over her, staring down into the small, petite person beside him.

"Adrien." And time started again. The Eiffel Tower, the starry black night, the Parisian city below.

She said his name again, the words catching on her lips. "Adrien."
