Day 365

The last night together was wonderful. Walking along the beach, sharing our memories. We remembered how we found each other in this camp. How he found out my secret.

How I saved his mother.

How we slowly become a couple. 

The first night we spent the night together at the cave.

The day at the karaoke bar and the hangover after that.

The Halloween party.

Thanksgiving with his family.

Our Christmas and New Year.

My birthday and shortly after his birthday.

His prom and the dance.

His graduation.

Even how he got kidnapped.

And the day we found each other again.

Soon it was dawn. We saw the Blood Moon. We both knew it was the end.

Every time I look at the stars in the night sky. I can't think of anything else but Keitaro. Those sparkling deep blue eyes. His soft hands. The way he brushed my hair off my face.

The night will be over soon. The time has come...

C: Keitaro. It's time. I have to go.

K: Darlin. Please don't leave me.

My heart was black with sorrow, but I knew this was for the best. I'm immortal, and Keitaro is a human. We can't...

I don't want to lose someone I love again.

C: You know I don't have a choice. I... We just can't, and you know that.

K: I know... I wish there was another way. 

C: Me too...

...

C: These moments together. They will always be with me.

C: Every time you feel the moonlight on your skin, know that it's me. Loving you..., Caring for you..., watching over you.

K:...

He pulled me to him hugging me. I felt a teardrop on my shoulder. My heart was racing, but deep inside. I know this had to be done.

C: I will never forget you. You will always be in my heart. Now and forever.

I placed my hand on my heart. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. As I started crying, Keitaro gently grabbed my hand and placed it on his chest.

K: Now and forever.

This was the last time I felt his skin, his hair on my face. And as I stared at those beautiful big blue eyes, we kissed for the last time.

C: Goodbye, my love.

K: Goodbye, my moonlight.

With those words, we said our last goodbye. As I was going away, I looked back to see his bitter smile just one more time.

He was incredibly caring, patient, trusting, and kind, among many other things that I know I may never find in a person ever again. And even if all I have left is the memory of the way he loved me, I still believe that I can endure whatever is yet to come.
