I want you to remember.
A love so full it could send us all ways.
I
stared out my window. It had been raining outside for the last few hours and I
was bored. Not only that, I was also quarantined to my room, because I was sick
with the new epidemic that was flying around Japan like birds.
I
sighed deeply, rubbing my eyes harshly, getting rid of the sleep, that I was
slowly succumbing to. I just wanted to sleep, but there was something about the
night, that was telling me to stay awake. And I had no other choice but to
listen.
So
I grabbed a book, and began to flip aimlessly through the pages, wondering how
Mimi was doing. Everything reminded me of her now. Absolutely everything.
Ever
since that day she told me she was moving to America, my whole world had been
turned upside down. Shattered beyond repair.
I
threw the book at my wall angrily, because I had so many thoughts piled a mile
high in my head, and I was sure that's why I was so sick.
The
book hit the wall, after what seemed like an eternity, and smacked the ground
with a lifeless thud. A small picture dropped out of it, and floated over to
me.
My
undying curiosity got the best of me, and I picked it up. It was as if fate was
punishing me, for a wrong, I had no clue I committed.
It
was a picture of us together, a few days before she left. God we were so happy.
So carefree. So in love with each other, it could make you nauseous.
I want you to surrender .
All my feelings rose today.
But
I knew I had to tell her my true feelings. Even though we knew we loved one
another, we never got around too actually admitting it to each other.
I
just couldn't go on with everything all bottled up inside of me anymore. It was
killing me, having so much to tell her, but I had no courage to go along with
it. And I knew that if I didn't tell her how much I loved her, I would just
die.
I
remembered every moment of that day. I reminisced at how beautiful she looked,
with her long chestnut hair flowing over her shoulders, lightly swaying in the
wind. The way her amber eyes shimmered with tears.
I
almost exploded seeing her so sad. And I only hoped and prayed that what I had
to tell her, would make her happy. I begged God that my news would put a smile
back on her lovely face.
And I want you to remain.
The power of children can amaze.
Now
that she was gone, I was only left with the memories we shared. Mimi was the
first, and only person I will ever truly love. She showed me the meaning of
friendship and compassion. Love and honor.
And
to me that was the greatest gift I could ever receive. But she just never
stopped giving, and I stood transfixed on the small gift she had given me
before she left. A small picture frame, which held a picture of us.
It
seemed that today, everything I touched brought back some haunting memory or
another. Every reminder of our childhood flooded back to my head, almost
drowning me in a river of confusion.
I'll try not to complain.
I know that's a pisser baby.
I
could barely take everything that was happening to me. Everything I held dear
to me, started to spin around in my head. The fever was finally getting to my
mind, scrambling and confusing all my logic.
But
still, only one thing was crystal clear to me. Mimi's face. I was positive she
was the one keeping me sane through all this, even though she wasn't even on
the same continent.
But
Mimi had that bewitching effect on everyone. Once you met her, you would never
forget her. And I, would never, in a million years forget her.
The chemicals between us .
The walls that lie between us.
Lying in this bed.
I
found myself staring at her gift again. 'Why Mimi?' I thought. 'Why did you
have to leave me? I need you so much.'
The
clock beside me started to buzz, sending a horrific screeching through my mind,
which only combined with all the other strange, yet familiar noises swarming
through my skull.
I
reached out to slam it off, but missed, and hit the wall, causing my hand to
ache. Just one more feeling to put into the melding pot. Pain.
'There's
a wall between us also Mimi.' I realized seriously for a moment. 'It's the
boarder that divides the land we live in. You're no longer with me, in Japan,
and I can't be with you in America.'
The chemicals displaced.
There is no lonelier place.
Than lying in this bed.
"God
I miss you so much." I spoke, gazing at the photo, and kissing it softly.
"I miss you more than anything in this world." I said, as a tear
escaped his eye. "I'm so lonely without you."
I want you to remember.
Everything you said.
"I
just hope you always remember that I love you. Just remember that I always
will."
I
sighed, and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to clear my head of everything that
was flying through it, but it was no use. So I just gave up trying to fight.
But
something kept nudging at me, making my will, keep on going. It was Mimi's
voice. That day, she told me she loved me. She told me, she loved me, and I
told her, I was helpless in love with her.
Every driven word.
Like a hammer, hell, to my head.
"I
love you Izzy." she stated me. "And I'm sorry that
I'm hurting you, but I have to go."
"Please
just stay here." I begged her. I had no clue someone could be so happy,
and so sad all at the same time. "Mimi I need you."
"And
I need you too, but this can't happen. Not now anyway." she said softly,
as a batch of tears streaked down her beautiful cheeks.
"Mimi,"
I started, trying to find words that would express what I feeling. I can't
remember a time other than that, where I was at a lose of words.
So
I didn't speak. I just went with my instincts, and kissed her passionately.
The chemicals between us.
There is no lonelier place.
Then lying in this bed.
I
remembered that kiss, more clearly than anything in this world. Everything just
seemed to fit together for us, in that one moment, but it was then shattered a
second later, as the flight attendant announced her plain was leaving.
She
held my hand, and I hugged her tightly. I never wanted to let her out of my
arms, but we both knew she would have to go. As much as I hated to admit it,
she would be moving away.
Mimi's POV
The chemicals displaced.
There is no lonelier place.
Than lying in this bed.
God.
Ever since I moved to this place, I've been miserable. I left my whole life
back in Japan, and I know that I will never call this place home. Hell, home is
where the heart is, and my heart is with Izzy.
I
just wanted to scream at how much I miss and needed him. He always brightened
my day, right now, I could use a little sunshine.
The chemicals between us.
The chemicals between us.
Lying in this bed.
Even
though it's only been a week, I feel as if I've lost total connection to my
friends. I'm just so lonely without them. Oh corse I can make more friends.
Live the exact same life I did in Japan, but it would never be the same.
Each
one of them was unique, and special to me. One made me laugh. One made me cry.
One made me feel loved. Izzy.
I
walked around my newly painted, light-pink room wondering what was going on
with each of them. Sure there's email, but it's not the same.
I
want to hear Izzy's voice again. I want to hold him in my arms again. I want
him to whisper, the three words that make my heart beat faster, until the point
of combustion.
We're of the hollow men.
We are the naked ones.
Ever
since I hoped on that plane, I've been so empty inside. Nothing can
make
me feel better. No matter how many stuffed animals my parents buy me, no matter
how many gifts they shower we with, they can never fill the void they created
when they took me away from the man I love.
We never meant you harm.
Never meant you wrong.
But
I can only imagine what Izzy's going through. I just left him. Packed up, and
bye. I never meant to hurt you Izzy. I would never do anything to hurt you on
purpose.
You've
protected me from so many wrongs. You've shielded me from all the evil around
us, and then I repay you, by crushing your heart.
I'd like to thank.
All of my lovers, lovers, lovers.
Izzy,
I just wish you could forgive me. I love you so much, and I'll thank my lucky
stars, if you don't hate me after what I did.
Izzy's POV
The chemicals between us.
The army of achievers.
Lying in this bed.
I
guess I could say I was lucky. After all, it's better to have loved, and lost.
Then never to have loved at all. But I can't help but feel envious of the
people that are loved, and have never had to feel the almost unbearable nature
of a broken heart.
The chemicals displaced.
There is no lonelier face.
Than lying in this bed.
But
I also can't help but wonder what if? What if she didn't have to leave me?
Would we still be happy? What if I had never told her my feelings? Would she
know how much I love her?
A
thousand other questions like this, popped back and forth in my mind. But I was
feeling so sick, I could barely think straight.
Mimi's POV
The chemicals between us.
The chemicals between us.
The chemicals.
Izzy,
please remember, that no matter how far away I am from you, I will always love
you; till the day I die.
I
just wish I could tell you that.
Izzy's POV
The chemicals between us.
"Don't
worry Mimi." Izzy said reassuringly. "I can hear you."
