My Light...My Darkness...My Love

my darkness

I know what you're thinking. Really, I do. You're thinking,

"He can't feel, he's just the tough guy who blows everyone off for his own selfish
purposes. After all, look at him. He suddenly appears
and then has to leave because of his
darkness."

Well, you know what I'm thinking?

"Crap."

That word describes exactly what you're thinking and what I've been through. Have you ever been to hell? I doubt you have. Well, my life has equalled just that: Hell.

I dance a deadly dance across the worlds with a silver haired man named Sephiroth. Sephiroth is a monster.

"He symbolizes the darkness within me. I have to find him before
he extinguishes my light. Then, maybe, just maybe
I can come back here."

I've fought Sephiroth before. His strength? It's unreal. He never even breaks a sweat during our fights.

I, on the other hand, am just barely breathing from all of the movement.

If my life is hell, then he is Satan.

my light

Her name is Tifa.

"I will find him, even if I have to go to the ends of the earth."

She said that, and she has upheld her promise. Every world I've been to, she's there.

"Maybe...Maybe I am darkness. If I can't even look at the person
who symbolizes my light, then maybe Sephiroth is
right."

The Underworld was like a safe haven to me: She wasn't there. I was thrilled. And thus, egged on by Hades' promise of my memories and the thrill of not having her there,

"I agreed."

It was foolish, I know. I'm reminded every day. But Sora helped me learn that sins are forgiven. Or, at least that one was.

I look at Tifa, and suddenly I'm blinded. The light hurts me.

What will happen when I have to face her?

my love

Aerith. She's incredible. She is so forgiving when I deserve no forgiveness. Sometimes I wish I could just forgive myself.

"It's okay. Go. Your light will bring you back here, right?"

I blew her off. I left in search of Sephiroth.

"Cloud, he's in the Dark Depths."

Apparently Sephiroth wasn't too far. I found him in the Dark Depths in Radiant Garden.

"I know because I am you."

The epic battle was fought. My memories were gained, my light found.

"Maybe I can come back to you now, Aerith."
