~The Phantom Haunting My Thoughts~
He was gone and I knew he was gone. Ikuto was off searching for his father. He was doing the thing that he really wanted to be doing. And I was just sitting here waiting for him. Not even really waiting. More like pining.
They say you don't know what you're missing until it's gone. Well, they were right. I'm really missing Ikuto. I can't get him out of my head. He's always there. I'm thinking about him constantly throughout the day… and the night.
The worst part is the fact that it feels like his memory is haunting me. I don't mean his ghost because he isn't dead. It's like I want to see him so badly that sometimes I do.
Last week I was in my room minding my own business while listening to some music and doing homework when out of the corner of my eye I swear he was outside my balcony door. He's shown up there so many times before that I thought it wouldn't be any different. In fact, I let myself get excited by the idea that he was back. Only to turn around and find that it wasn't true.
I even went out the door and looked around. Ikuto wasn't there. There wasn't any proof that he had been.
Then there was the time when I was walking to school and passed a construction site. Of course they had the drain uncovered the sewers and my mind just had to remind me how I met him that I was running over to the uncovered hole and looking in before I could even think.
Of course he wasn't there.
This has gotten to the point where I'm not even listening during classes anymore. I'm looking out the window. To my friends I'm just spacing out, but I'm not. I'm not just staring at nothing. I'm looking. I'm watching. I'm waiting.
He said he'd come back for me and I'll wait for him until he does. This phantom that haunts my every thought.
