Emptiness

Song : I Remember You by YUI

DISCLAIMER : I DO NOT OWN LCDO AND THE SONG

First of all, I would like to dedicate this songfic to littlebottle! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, LITTLEBOTTLE!

This is so late already, but luckily littlebottle still accepts late birthday presents! YEAY!

She was tall, not so thin and not so fat either. Slender legs, high heels. I couldn't stop looking at the girl sitting at the bench by the pond. She was the rose among the thorns, the sunshine of my life. Her scarlet red haired swayed as the wind blew past her, and her eyes were shining golden orbs that would make anyone fall for her. I have been going here since the past few weeks, just to look at her. I once thought of walking up to her to say hi, but I was too shy.

Kaze wa mou tsumetai keredo

Natsukashii sora no nioi ga shitan da

Hoomu kara umi ga mieru

Kono basho de kimi wo sagashiteru

The wind is cold now

But I could smell the scent of that nostalgic sky

I can see the sea from the platform

It's here that I'm searching for you

One day, she brought a violin with her. I never knew that she could play the violin. A soft, sweet melody came out and it resounded within my heart. Isn't that Ave Maria? I thought as she continued playing. With the wind blowing, she looked like an angel who just came down to earth to spread the music. I wish I had my trumpet with me so that I could play along.

On another ocassion, she came with a guy, a cerulean haired guy. He was lean but muscular and it looks like he's a violinist too. Maybe he's the boyfriend, I thought as I kept staring at the couple. They propped their violins on their shoulders and the harmony began to weaver through the air. It was a really nice tune with a calming flow.

I couldn't help but clapped when their piece ended

"Sugoi! Sugoi!" I said, still clapping.

The girl turned to look at me and a smile escaped her lips. She was so beautiful.

"I saw you several times here recently. What's your name?" She asked.

Finally! I thought to myself. She talked to me! Can you imagine that?

"Kahoko, be careful of strangers. They are not very nice people, " the cerulean guy said, pulling her hand, "let's get going,"

"Ne, Len. At least let us introduce ourselves! Please, ne, Len," Kahoko said, with pleading eyes.

"Fine, go ahead," the guy named Len replied.

"Kahoko," she said stretching out a hand to me.

"Ka..," but before I could introduce myself, Len quickly took hold of Kahoko's hand.

"No direct contact with strangers," Len commanded.

"Kazuki," I said, beaming with delight at her.

"It's really nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends, Kazuki," she said.

"That's enough. Let's get going Kahoko," Len quickly pulled Kahoko towards him and quickly marched off.

"But... " She said something else, which I couldn't catch, and disappeared with the guy.

So her name is Kahoko, I thought, but I still want to talk to her. I wanna know more. I wanna know why she is with such a cold guy. I got up and tried to look for her but she was gone.

I came back to the same place the next day, and at the same time. But she wasn't there. Maybe she'll come later. I waited for another one to two hours but she never came.

Taiyou wa zutto oboete ita hazu sa

Nee kikoeteru?

The sun surely remembers it all

Can you hear me?

But I didn't give up. I came again to the same spot the next day, but she wasn't there. I was so frustrated. Just when I could get to know more about her, the cerulean guy took her away from me. The emptiness started building inside me. Nothing could ever fill it back up. Except for one thing, the girl, Kahoko.

Now the pond seemed as if it lost the most important component of the whole scenery. It seemed gloomy, and not even a whiff of her scent stayed. Not even a single strand of hair was left behind.

Namida wa misenai tte kimi wa sou itte

Bokutachi wa futari te wo futta

Sayonara wa iwanai dakara te wo futta

Yuuyake ni kieta I remember you

You said you wouldn't show tears

And we waved to each other

We didn't say goodbye so we waved

And you disappeared into the sunset, I remember you

Minutes turned into hours, hours turned to days and days began to change to months and months soon turned to years. I didn't get to see the girl anymore. She was now gone, entirely gone.

Namida wo koraeteru yakusoku dakara

Dare yori mo tsuyoku naranakucha

Sayonara wa iranai datte me wo tojite

Sugu ni aeru I remember you

I'm holding back my tears, I promise

I have to be stronger than anybody

We don't need to say goodbye, when I close my eyes

I can see you right away, I remember you

But, I still remember you...

Please please leave a review…^.^ .
