Mirage

Two people, sharing the same fate.
Two bodies, having the same face.
Who is she to me? What am I to her?
I just wanted my love to return.
Once stolen, once lost.
--------------
I scurried through the long hallways, through the vast expanse of buildings, but still, it was all in vain. Why was he so hard to find? I had spent all my life, trying to look for him. Didn't he want to be found at all?
It's been three years since that day. That day he left with all of his trails. That day I became alone. He just disappeared in a puff. No reasons. No excuses.
But I know, I could feel it. There was something of him that was left. I know he was near, somewhere out there. That's why I chose to spend those three years searching for him. It wasn't a waste at all.
I felt a cold, fluffy substance dropped on my left cheek. I looked up and saw the sky flooded with those white droplets, making their way to the earth.
So it was that time of the year -- winter. Just like the time he left me, it was also raining snow like this. Strangely, I never felt cold.
Sometimes, I wonder, why is it that these elegant droplets chose to have their fill of this cruel world? Is the world that ugly that God needed to beautify it with snow once in a while?
I hope they lead me to you, Yukiro.

"Stop crying now, Ellie. I know it hurts. It's really painful. But we have no choice. We're just kids."
I looked up at a boy, probably a year older than me. I was still crying, but I tried to talk in between my sobs, "I don't know you. W-who are you? Are you the one who killed mama and papa?"
"You're mean, Ellie!" he said, as he quickly hugged me and squeezed me in his arms, pinching my cheeks in the process. "But you're still as cute as ever."
He held my shoulders and looked straight through my eyes. I can feel his care, concern for me. "Look Ellie, we're the same. Both our parents died in that accident. It's painful here, too." He pointed at his chest, right where his heart is. "We only have each other now. I'll be your big brother. I'll protect you." Then he smiled.
----------
I will never forget that moment, when he told me he will protect me. He is the only one I have, that's why I clung and depended on him so much. He stayed true to his promise, yes, but after eight years, he disappeared.
