Challenge: [111] Learn
Title: Knowledge Waits
Word Count: 174
(anything else?): Implied Sora/Kairi. Kairi laments Sora's absence in the light of a new journey.

You think that saying goodbye will become easier with time and practice. That you can watch him walk away and maybe this time you won’t need to miss him.

As you hold your head high and gaze to that blue horizon, remember to relish the sensation of warm sand between your toes. A cool ocean draught that carries your soft pleas upon the wind to where he stands, to where he fights.

Is it any surprise that you doubt whether his heart can win, when you can’t even truly let him go? The resentment you nurture within yourself can do nothing but manifest into the very thing he strives to save you from.

We hope you’ll understand that he can hear your voice in the passing breeze. We pray it dawns on you that he shall return for you, and you alone. We wish that you do not lose yourself in his absence. But we suspect you’ll learn the hard way, that he carries a part of you with him wherever his footsteps fall.

i really like the style of this. the second person and tone kind of remind me of that voice thing- you know, "The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes...", lol. :) it's cool, though- very reminiscent of the KH series in general. nice job on this.

ahhh and i love the last line!!

Ah, second person! I find that not a lot of people can pull that off well (or maybe I just don't know many who would bother with second person), but you did it wonderfully. :D♥

Come on Kairi, optimism!
