For a while now...

I have this dream,
A sad dream of you and me

You look me in the eye
With eyes that held no recognition

To you, I am nothing more than a stranger

But allow me to help you
And ease your pain

I’ll stay here always
Right besides you

Hold you forever
And never let go

I promise...
I’ll be strong for you

But please...
Try to remember me

We spent another month totally living ‘underground’, creating new songs and hoping for Ruki to recover his lost memories. The bad news is those memories seemed gone forever and Ruki gave up hope of ever recalling it. The good part is he had recovered physically and started working again, writing lyrics and composing a song once in awhile. After that we’re back to the studio for recording sessions, postponed photo shoots, interviews and making plans for the canceled lives and new ones for the end of the year. Life seemed like it went back to the normal busy schedule. Of course everything was still different but it’s a start.

Fall already on the way with winter fast-approaching. I couldn’t help but be affected by it. During this time last year, I had Ruki right beside me. We would take the long way home and passed by the park when the leaves were orange in color. I remembered how he asked me to stop for awhile and just sat there under the tree. I would argue with him although I know I would lose. I could never win when he gave me that face. Ah...how good it felt to hold him, to kiss him, to just be there with him. Just thinking about it warms every corner of my heart. What I would give to have those moments back...

We’re somewhat back to our room mate relationship. I don’t know how he feels about me now and I don’t want to pile more burdens on him. It’s pathetic how I’m back to stealing glances at him...

The next few months was followed with hectic schedules; releasing new singles, promoting it, interviews, more photo shoots, and the end of the year live concerts. In a way I’m glad it kept me busy from thinking about Ruki. He seemed to be doing okay without me. He may not remember but it’s almost as if we’re back to the way we were before the accident. The way he and Reita would goofed off, the daily dose of bullying Kai, and...Uruha giving Ruki a massage, the one thing I don’t like but I know Uruha usually pampers Ruki and they’ve been best friend long before I know them.

I miss Ruki’s smile. Well, he smiles a lot but I miss it being directed to me...only for me...

New Year’s dinner at my parent’s house had never felt lonelier than this. Ruki usually came with me but this year I have to go alone. I don’t even know where he is at the moment. It felt like I’m stretching my face just to smile. Don’t get me wrong, I really am happy to see my family again, I miss them, but without Ruki...it just felt different and they knew it too. How long...how long can I keep this façade?

I rushed home after that, hoping and hoping against all odds that Ruki would be in our apartment. My heart broke when I saw the apartment was dark but I called out his name anyway. I called and called but only silence greets me. I was about to give up when I saw a small figure lying on the floor by the piano.

"Ruki!!!" I exclaimed, rushing to gather him in my arms. I was scared. Carefully, I carried him to the couch and started shaking him lightly. I panicked when he didn’t respond and reached down to my jeans pocket for my cell phone, ready to dial for an ambulance but...he opened his eyes...unfocussed and confused...

"Are you alright? What happened?" I asked groggily.

"I don’t know...I was just playing the piano when..."

"When what Ruki?" I prodded. His facial expression started to change...there’s a glow to it. I don’t know what happen but he look so...happy...all of a sudden.

He hugged me then and I...don’t know what to do...but I hugged him back as tight as I can without crushing him. It felt wonderful to hold him again. I miss this...I miss holding him this close...I wish I could stop time and just hold on to this moment but I know I have to let him go soon...

"Aoi-kun...don’t let go..." Ruki pleaded as I started moving away. Did I hear him right? Did he really want me to hold him longer?

"Ruki...?"

"I...remember...everything." I froze the moment he said those words, my heart was pounding so fast I’m afraid it would explode and my mind couldn’t stop repeating the words over and over again.

"Re...really?" I whispered, afraid that if I said it louder I would wake up and that it was all a dream, still... I couldn’t stop the raising hope in my chest. I’ve been wishing and praying for him to remember...please God, don’t let this be a cruel joke...

"Yes. It all came back when I was playing the piano. I guess I passed out after that," Ruki said confirming my question. I was so happy. It was...unexpected and I really want to know what happen. I guess we’ll ask the doctor for more explanation about Ruki’s condition tomorrow but now, I’m going to continue to hold him close to me while he told me about his dream. About the special person in his dream that always gives him a warm embrace, courage when he was scared and support when he was about to break down.

"It’s not deja-vu after all..." he finished his story. I didn’t know but I’m happy that Ruki remembered a part of our memory together all this while. It made me even happier to know I had that effect on him. I smiled, remembering that special moment. Last winter on Christmas Eve...it had gotten so cold that we decided to stay at home...just the two of us. We enjoyed dinner and sat in front of the fire.

"Do you remember your promise?"

"Yes. I promise to hold you and stay besides you always...always..." I renewed and sealed our promise with a kiss.

THE END
