a/n: Published on February 12th, 2015. No author's note before. I'm putting this here for the guest reviewer, TerraxAqua 2025. Not all my stories are rated T, but a good chunk of them are, just because of subjects I write about.

...

back and forth

back and forth

...

her lips form a word,

a word that isn't coming out

...

splish

...

the rain is still pouring

slipping to the earth's core

...

yet we sit here in silence

waiting for the sun to appear

...

splash

...

the rain continues

...

up and down

up and down

...

she's gonna meet me in the sky

she said her love for me was bigger than the universe

...

trickle trickle

...

we sit there quietly

watching the rain

...

there's a flawlessness to this moment

a beautiful lullaby

...

splash

...

we can only see clouds

but there's a blue sky in there somewhere

...

her eyes are on me now

big, wide, curious eyes ("...Roxas?")

...

whish

...

the night sky is full of stars

countless stars

...

the wind is singing softly

a smile reaches my lips

...

whoosh

...

the wind is picking up

...

there's a storm

it's coming quickly

...

she gives my hand a gentle squeeze

a million butterflies fluttering around in my stomach ("What did you want to ask me back there?")

...

ssst ssst

...

the wind is no longer a simple breeze passing by

it's a tyrant ("Why can't moments like this last?")

...

she can't see me anymore

she can't feel me anymore

whoosh

...

i'm not real

i'm not him

...

Because, Kairi, it would be too much to ask for.
