Skating By My Side (Renga Angst)

Chapter 6: Finally Moving On

      Reki Kyan passed away 3 years ago today. I am now 20 years old, and every day I think back to when we were teenagers and when we would skate to school every day.

 I miss him so much, sometimes I still cry when I think about him.

      I have been able to start skating again, and I'm glad I did because it makes me happy. I truly love skating and I knew that Reki would want me to keep going. That's the main reason that I still skate.. for him. About six months after he passed, I realized that I was in love with him. I haven't dated anyone because if I'm being honest, I'm still in love with him, even 3 years later. I don't know if I will ever decide to love anyone else, not after Reki. God, I miss him so much, so so much. Every time that I skate, I can feel him with me. It feels like he's there, right beside me.

      No, it doesn't FEEL like he's beside me. I KNOW it. Because that was the promise that we made. That we would skate together infinitely. So I know that he's by my side.

      Our infinity isn't over, not just yet. I just can't see him, that's all. He may not be here in person, or visible to me but he's there, for sure. I just have to keep skating until we can skate together once more.

      And until then, I'll keep skating with him by my side. Who knows? Maybe he's flying on his board with his beautiful angel wings.
