The Ocean (Sun Version)-The Bravery

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

the sun and the moon and the ocean are there
so many voices but nothing is there
but the ghost of you asking me why
why did i leave

oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away
the ocean rolls us away
....
and i lose your hand through the waves


Three years out and he could no longer remember the little things about the people who had once made his world worthwhile. The guilt sent was unbearable. It tore at his insides and outsides, churning his stomach and causing him to lash out at anyone who tried to interrupt his secluded, desperate sessions where he replayed the past over and over. Blinding migraines were always the result.

Never how Kensuke always kept a picture of his favorite fighter jet on him. Touji's highest basketball score. The taste of Hikari's bento.

A murderer was meant to know his victims. That was the only fair thing, after all, to see their faces and hear their voices in the dead of the night when your mind went blank so that you were never free from responsibility. Forgetting meant an unfair absolving of sin.

Late one night, he lay in bed staving off another headache. The day's attempt was unsuccessful. What was he doing wrong? How could he reverse it? And what if he couldn't?

Then you do what you shoulda done a long time ago. Live, Shinji, Touji answered from a far across the sea of time.

It took some time, but in the end, he relinquished his hold on things he could not keep and let the tide roll.
