i'll say one final thing to you

hau barged into my house, more frantic than usual. he cried out a few words, telling me to come with him to the docks. of course, i followed him without a word, being taken aback myself.

lillie.

"i wanted to tell the both of you this earlier but- i'm leaving for kanto."

she was leaving for kanto. i know she's doing it for the sake of her mother but i still can't help it. she can't just come into my life and leave me like that.

after a few last words from her, professor kukui and hau, lillie was ready to board the ship. and so were the other two to see her leave.

but i wasn't.

just as she was about to board the ship, i grabbed her by the wrist, tilting my head as i try to prevent her from seeing my face which was already drenched in tears.

"lillie, don't go. i had an amazing journey with you here here."

i must've liked her a lot. why is it that now that i want to say all that i ever wanted to, my lips aren't moving?

"if you leave like this, i might never see you again."

she bent over a little to establish eye contact with me. her emerald green eyes sort of glistened as we locked gazes. i hated the fact that she had to see me cry. she attempted to crack a petite smile to cheer me up as she nodded her head assuringly. i sucked in a ball of hair before continuing.

"i'll just say one final thing... it was short but- i was able to understand you enough. i've got to know you much more compared to when we first met. i'm glad you were able to open up to me and i was able to open up to you... like that time at exeggutor island. thank you for everything."

i choked on my tears in between words. tears streamed down my face like a waterfall.

lillie cupped my face in palms. her hands were warm, soft and delicate. she wiped the tears of my cheeks with her thumbs.

"thank you for everything."

a smile managed to find it's way on my face even though i felt like my whole world was falling apart.

don't let go of my hands that are holding you for the last time,

you may forget me but i can't forget you just yet

as i wait, it won't change the fact that i'm yours,

don't forget that we loved each other more than anyone else.
