"Blah"- Flashback words from Krad

Reasons why he tried to never let anyone in.

It hurt to lose them. But somehow, that simple dark-haired thief had wormed his way into his life, broken down his barriers, become a part of his daily life, and shattered everything in his abandonment to the River Styx.

ooooooo

There's so much I want to say now
But it's too late I know
There's no way to heal these wounds now
And my heart bleeds for you

ooooooo

He tried to never trust anyone.

With trust came love. With love came pain. With pain came death of all he (secretly) cherished. For his and their sake, he would have to shut them out of his life.

Of course, that never worked with him.

Even now, he could never forget him.

He still didn't trust him. He probably never would.

ooooooo

And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me

ooooooo

Silently, his knees gave way beneath him and he crashed by his grave, on his knees as he had been so many times before.

"Damnit, why did you have to go and…"

He was the reason why he had take off his cloth once. Just once. That one day of happiness with him.

"You didn't have to die for me… Dark…"

ooooooo

So I wanted you to know
That I finally let you go
After all I've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that I know
Is I've finally let you go

ooooooo

Never.

He would never say goodbye.

As pathetic as it may have sounded, he was in firm denial of his death. He didn't care whether all logic defied it, just the two of them was enough to change the world.

Or at least, their own worlds, which had been carefully constructed as to never let anyone see the real them.

He would never let go of the hope that he was still with him.

ooooooo

Yesterday you were my best friend
But tomorrow took you away
There's not much for me to say now
Just goodbye, farewell

ooooooo

At some point in time, they had been… friends. He could clearly remember him requesting that they be companions in order to tell him his 'big secret.'

"Big secret indeed…" His chuckle was low and hoarse, and alarmed those passing him by.

…

Passing him by…

Yes…

He passed him by, didn't he…?

Left him to himself once again…

ooooooo

And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me

ooooooo

Sometimes it felt like he was drowning.

It was a recurring feeling, oft waking him alarmingly at inane hours of the morning, bathed in a cold sweat and salty tears dried upon his once-pristine face.

It collided with him.

Brought him back to his knees…

ooooooo

So I wanted you to know
That I finally let you go
After all I've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that I know
Is I've finally let you go

ooooooo

He was hoping to one day, be able to forget all this. All this conflicting pains and emotions. Forget him.

Of course, after 2 years, what were the chances of that happening?

He would possibly never let him go.

He needed him beside him, giving him refuge inside his own home.

Home is where the heart is…

Did that mean he had no home?

ooooooo

And every time I close my eyes
My heart is bleeding deep inside
But now my eyes are open
And I'm never gonna be the one for you
The one for you

ooooooo

Slowly, gripping his heart painfully, he raised himself from the silken grass, to stare solemnly at the remains of what once was.

Even if he never saw him again, was never the one for him…

He would still remember.

He opened his eyes to the life around him.

ooooooo

So I wanted you to know
That I finally let you go
After all I've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that I know
Is I've finally let you go

"Dark… I think I can safely say…"

…Yes, Krad?

"I love you, Dark. I'll never forget you, but perhaps…

…I can let you go…"

I finally let you go
Let you go
Let you go
So this is my goodbye to you
