I’ll Stay Awake Forever

By: Reshea Elle Lawliet

Bakura’s POV

Ryou, my light, my innocent reincarnation, how come you always say that you’re happy when you’re with me? Is it true? Is that how you really feel? Well, to tell you the truth, I do to.

I know I’ve hurt you a thousand times, maybe not physically, but it still hurt doesn’t it? There, in your heart. I can’t even show myself to you anymore, I couldn’t let you see me, feel me, and never let you see my grief every night I see you cry in your room.

I can never admit it, but I do love you, I just can’t show it up front, I’ll only show it when you’re asleep.

I’m by the side of your bed again Ryou. I stay awake at night just to hear your soft breathing, how I wish a smile would plaster on your face as you slept in your dreams of another world, happier than here. Watch as the moon grace your face with its light.

I’d spend my whole life watching over you Ryou, if I could, I’ll surrender to this feeling and never let it go, but, I can’t do that, it will only hurt you more.

I wish I could stay forever in this moment, even if I will have to be lost in it, I would stay.

Every moment that I could be with you and had spent with you, I will cherish and treasure in my whole lifetime, forever in deep in my sins.

I don’t want to close me eyes now Ryou, I can’t fall asleep, cause I might miss anything, I could miss everything if I go back to sleep, I can’t, even if my time is running out, I will stay awake, forever.

Even in my dreams Ryou, I see you. You never left my heart, your face haunted me, and the hurt and suffering I gave you impales me.

I’m so close to you now Ryou, you’re perfect, I can never ask for more. I hear your heart beating by the closeness; I want to stay in this position forever and know what you’re dreaming about, I wonder though, is it still me you’re seeing?

I lean forward and kiss your forehead, I thank Ra for this opportunity, but anything that happiness can give disappears, everything in a whisper of the wind. I just want to spend this time with you, in this moment for all time. If only I could.

It coming, I can feel it Ryou, it’s time for me to say goodbye, but, I don’t want to loose this feeling, I don’t want to miss a smile Ryou, I’d die. I just want to be here with you, be with you, just like this.

I just want to hold you close, I feel your heart so close to mine. I hope this moment never ends, I hope it never will. It’s a dream, an unforgivable truth Ryou, I can never be with you. You were all that I had left, after everything. The shadows have come for me.

I’ll disappear Ryou, in your mind, in your soul, in your memories. Dark and Light can never be. It never will.

“Goodbye, My Light..."
