As I opened my eyes again I watched them running down the street. It was raining, heavily, but none of them cared as they were all wearing those beautiful smiles. There weren't many clouds, to be honest, there weren't even enough clouds to make the rain down from all over the sky. However, here, in this world that I shared with them, everything was possible.
I knew because they were the ones to show me love, they managed to make me feel warm and that was something that I never thought would be possible. Yet, there we were, fooling around in the middle of a deserted street, while the almost cloudless skies allowed the rain to fall upon us.
I have never even dared to imagine that, but there was truly a smile tugging on my lips as I listened to their happy calls. That moment felt somewhat magical to me and never have I ever felt so happy before.
As I felt the breeze of the soft wind crazing my skin, I also felt the waves of the warmth of their love pulling me further towards them, embracing me in its own perfect way, soothing my troubled mind and soul, telling me that everything would be okay.
I believed them, their warmth, their love, because I trusted each and every one of them with all my heart, with all I was.
It finally started beating, slowly, almost as if it could only work in slow motion. But, that was okay with me. There was something now. There were all of them now, reasons for my heart to beat in my chest like it hadn't been able to for ages. I just hoped it will never stop.
There was something different about that day, something that seemed so important to me all those days before. I didn't see the sun rise over the mountains. No, that day I only opened my eyes as the blue of the sky was slowly turning into different shades of orange and red. The colors gave the rain an even more soothing purpose, turned it into something ethereal, something neither of us could have ever understood.
As I looked back at them, watched as they were already soaked by the rain that brought so much happiness upon us, I noticed that I couldn't move towards them, that I couldn't accompany and fool around with them under those thousands of raindrops.
Too bad I couldn't play with them, but it was okay. It was perfect the way it was. Everything was how it was supposed to be. They were there, and looking at their smiling faces was all it took to make it so easy for me to let go. Of course, I would never let go of either of them for real. They were my world, my everything, but, I just knew that the world around them would continue existing without me being there the way I was up until now.
They were there, with me in that world. I would never be alone, I would never walk alone. And I wouldn't have to in the next world either.
It may would be hard in the beginning, but I knew we would meet again. We would be together again in the next world, and the world after. None of us would ever have to walk alone.
The love we felt for each other would surpass everything, even hundreds of lives, hundreds of worlds.
The sky slowly turned darker. I watched as they halted all their movements, looking at me with those deep dark eyes that were suddenly filled with concern.
I didn't want to see the concern in their eyes.
I knew we would meet again.
I would be waiting for them on the other side of the skies. I would be watching over them, sending them warmth whenever they need it.
"Never forget, you never walk alone."
"I love you."
As the sun vanished behind the horizon, the dark took over the light and turned the day into night.
I had to leave them, couldn't stay with them in the rain. But, that's okay.
After sunset I would be gone, but I would never be gone completely, because I found my place in their hearts.
"I'm just sad that I'll never see the moon."
