Beautiful Goodbye


Ryou sat on his bed in the dark room, totally zoned out. It was obvious what he was thinking about. It was something he couldn't change. It was the reason he hadn't left his room in four days.

He and Bakura had broken up. Ryou guessed he wasn't destined to be with Bakura since they weren't together anymore. And the way his koi had said goodbye; it didn't seem they would ever be able to go back to the way they once were.

Ryou's friends had tried many times to get him to leave his room, though he refused. Every morning, he decided to take one more day to try to get over Bakura. Another day to think about what he had done wrong to deserve such pain. It didn't really matter how he passed the time, either in his room or not, because he still remembered his yami. He could never forget the time they spent together and the time they spent apart. He would never be able to rid himself of the memories and the pain.

--Fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return
Think I'll take another day
And slowly watch it burn
It doesn't really matter how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and I
And that beautiful goodbye--

Ryou remembered the night when they had confessed their love for each other. They were walking home from Yugi's one night and nobody was around, all the streets were empty. It was then that Bakura and Ryou chose to tell each other. In fact, they had both blurted it out at the same time. They were both a little shocked but soon were laughing and headed on their way home again, arm in arm. Though it was a cold night and Ryou had only a light jacket on, having Bakura so close to him and knowing he loved him made him feel warm inside. If only Bakura hadn't left, they might have still been that close.

Ryou tried to convince himself that he really didn't miss his yami. Trying to believe that the reason he was so upset was because he just wanted to know if Bakura was still thinking about him. And the night he said goodbye for the last time.

--We staggered through these empty streets
Laughing arm in arm
The night had made a mess of me
Your confession kept me warm
And I don't really miss you, I just need to know
Do you ever think of you and I?
And that beautiful goodbye--

He looked over to his desk, at a picture of Bakura. As he stared at the picture, he wondered how he could've just watched as his love walked away from him. He wondered if he let him down by not trying hard enough to keep their relationship. If that was the case, he hoped Bakura forgave him.

--When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye--

Though he regretted ever having let his koi leave, he never told anyone. His friends were always telling him it wasn't his fault and that he shouldn't feel bad about it. But what did they know? They weren't there when Bakura left.

He guessed he would never be able to say all the things he wanted to say to Bakura. He would have to wait and say them to someone else. He'd always heard people say that nothing could last forever, though he'd hoped the love between him and his yami would be an exception.

He wondered why they hadn't tried harder to work things out; why they had just let their love pass them by. It just didn't seem fair.

--In these days of no regrets
I keep mine to myself
And all the things we never said
I can save for someone else
Cause nothing lasts forever, but we always try
And I just can't help but wonder why
We let it pass us by--

Ryou stood up off of the bed and walked over to the picture he had been staring at. He picked it up and gazed at the eyes of the person in the photo. He was smiling slightly and looked a bit confused. He hadn't quite understood how a camera could take a picture and Ryou had to explain it to him afterwards.

He soon felt tears well up in his eyes and he put the picture back down. He walked back over to his bed and collapsed onto it. He remembered how he'd promised Bakura that they'd always be together.

"Please forgive me, Bakura. I let you down, didn't I? I broke my promise." He whispered.

--When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye--

"But, what can I do now, koi? You're gone and you're never coming back, you said so yourself. You told me to be strong," A few crystalline tears made their way down his cheeks. "But sometimes I can't help but cry. Oh, Bakura.. I don't think I'll ever get over you. It feels like I'm dying inside.. I miss you so much. Please come back.." Ryou felt a few more tears slide down his cheeks. "I guess I'm just destined to be alone..."

--Baby, what can I do
Oh, to get through to you?
And sometimes I cry
It's a fool's lullaby
Sometimes I cry
It's just a fool's lullaby
Oh why...?
I'm dying inside..--
