Author's Note: Okay, that wasn't exactly a summary, but this isn't exactly a story either so... Enjoy? ^^


I'm falling with my arms outstretched and my eyes loosely sewn together. Clouds touch the ends of my shaking fingers briefly before they whip away, spraying drops of burning rain into my face. The whirlpool of fate draws me in, distracting me from real life for a few scant moments as I open my reluctant ears and listen to a completely new sound.

It's your voice that I hear. Your soft, velvety voice. It pulls me into that stormy whirlpool; deeper and deeper until I find myself unable to keep my eyelids shut any longer. I open them slowly, and almost at once, the world slows and halts around me.

My vision becomes unfocused before refocusing again. I am blinded by your presence, rising above me through the white clouds. There is a brilliant smile on your gorgeous face, and a sparkle of mirth in your dark eyes. My watering mouth turns up in a bright smile and your happiness grows along with my love for you.

"I am glad to see you again, Ryeowook," you say ever so softly, as if I am a timid animal and you do not want to startle me.

I nod slowly and wrap my short arms around your bare ankles, which is the only part of you that I can reach. You chuckle; your eyes becoming twin crescent moons. My racing heart flutters in happiness. Hearing your laugh is the greatest gift I could ever receive, and I want to cherish it because I know that I won't be able to for much longer. Reality calls me back.

"Babe," you say. I begin to feel weak in the knees. "Listen to me for a moment."

But I can't listen to that sweet sound anymore. My thoughts are someplace else now, and my ears have shut off to any noise besides the pounding of my heart and the screeching in my mind. I feel the screaming panic boil and bubble inside my lungs; leaving my mouth in short, quick gasps of pain. There is a needle twisting inside my heart that I hadn't noticed before now. It coaxes a possessed scream from my lips and black tears from my eyes. My legs shatter. I begin to rise.

Your large hand grabs mine as I float away, and for a second, the piercing pain stops completely. "Ryeowook," you whisper. My ears strain to hear your deep voice. "I won't ever leave you. I will always be here," he points to my chest, "inside your heart... So don't you forget me."

He pulls my weightless body towards him, ignoring the gravity that tugs me upwards. My blurry eyes focus on you as your lips meld together with mine.

I can taste the pure desire that taints your mouth, and I am sure that you can taste mine. Your arms caress my back as mine caress your pale chest. The kiss deepens briefly and I can smell the scent of orange and dark chocolate on your skin. it is the smell that I have missed; the smell that I have been yearning for.

My fingers tighten around your bare shoulders. I don't want to let you go, but your arms loosen around my waist and once again, I can feel my body being pushed back into reality. I feel the urge to fight against the force, yet I know that I am powerless to stop it.

You are far below now. I reach a hand out towards you and you reach up to me, recreating an invisible connection that time had once washed away. "You be careful up there," you say with poetry in your voice, almost as if your entire being is made up of a beautiful song.

I nod, and the black tears fade and become clear. "When will we meet again, Kyuhyun?" I say, my voice hoarse and dry.

You smile, and I drink it in for the last time. You don't answer the question... There is no need, because the answer rests with you inside my heart:

We will meet again, in the next life.

Dedicated to Lisa, because even though you won't ever read this, I love you forever and always. I hope we may meet again in the next life. ^^

lisa, oneshot, kyuwook
