Shuichi pov

Reflections of you and me
Are smashed by reality
They're like a mirror broken into shards
'Cause I'll never be your man
As long as you hold his hand
It tears my dreams into a thousand parts

I was looking through my gallery on my phone, looking through the pictures from the happiest time of my life. I never thought it would end, I thought it would last forever...

Until I had to ruin it...

It has been a month now...

A month since (y/n) and I broke up...

I closed my gallery and opened my messenger app, scrolling down until I found her contact...

„(y/n)..." I murmured. „I miss you..." I looked at their profilepicture. It showed them, smiling brightly... I smiled, then I saw the person next to them... It made my heart hurt... There was Rantaro Amami

I wish I could tell you how I feel inside
About these emotions I'm trying to hide
Whenever you're asking me if I'm okay
I whisper, "Yes, " and walk away

I got angry. Not at them for having a new boyfriend. Not at Rantaro for stealing their heart.

I got angry at myself. I got angry at myself for breakung up with them because of Kaede...

I'm not even angry at her for telling me that (y/n) isn't worth it...

No

I'm mad at myself for listening to her. I heard something drip on my phone screen. A tear, soon followed by another, and another... they just kept coming.

I love them, I really do, why did I have to be so stupid?

My heart aches whenever I see them together with him, but still, whenever they ask me if I'm okay, I answer with a quiet „yes" and take my leave.

When you're in his arms (when you're in his arms)
I feel like I'm falling and I'm losing my ground
When you're in his arms (when you're in his arms)
I wish I could turn the time and be with you now
When you're in his arms

I turned my phone off and put it down on the table next to my bed. Slipping under my bedsheets and holding them close I let the tears fall. I thought about all the happy memories we shared, all the funny stuff we did, and the hard times we got through together... The longer I thought about it the more I craved their hugs, their affection... their everything.

I wish I could turn back time...

I wish I could erase my mistake...

I wish I could be the one who is holding them in my arms...

But I can't.

It feels like a battlefield
And I'm holding up my shield
But it turns out I'm my own enemy
I'm longing to tell you why
But baby, I'm just too shy
I'm staying caught up in my misery

I thought it would last forever... fighting for each other, having fun together, beeing sad together... Having one enemy... the same enemy... and that was the world

But I was wrong...

I have been our only enemy

I stabbed myself in the back

I hurt them and myself

Why did I have to be so stupid, just letting them go even tho we loved each other? Just breaking two hearts because of one statement? Breaking those hearts like small branches... like it's nothing...

I wish I could tell you how I feel inside
About these emotions I'm trying to hide
And I got a million things I wanna say
But I just hush, and walk away

If I could tell them how I feel, how sorry I am, how bad I want them back, back in my arms, back in my now pretty empty bed and apartement, just back in my life. But would I find the right time? The right words? Would I find them without Rantaro next to them? And, most importantly,

Would I be able to tell them everything without breaking out in tears?

Probably not...

I would probably just be a scaredy-cat and walk the other way...

I grab the other blanket that they have been using all those years, clutching it to my chest, crying even harder.

When you're in his arms (when you're in his arms)
I feel like I'm falling and I'm losing my ground
When you're in his arms (when you're in his arms)
I wish I could turn the time and be with you now
When you're in his arms

I closed my exes, imagining them layning in my arms, what was just the blanket. I could still smell their scent in it, just a bit, light (instert any smell you like), but enough for me to think they we're in my arms...

I opened my eyes again, thinking I would see (y/n), but, in fact, just seeing the blanket. That sight reminding me that they'll probably be in his arms right now...

But I was falling apart, just like a house of cards
I feel a sadness of a million lonely hearts
I'm living a lie, keep wasting my time
Guess I would never call you mine

My heart broke into million pieces once again, the parts falling apart, like a house of cards. I felt the sadness and emptiness deep inside me. The emptiness I already knew from before. The emptiness they had filled...

But now (y/n)'s gone, so it's back.

I'm imagining them still beeing there, everyday, everyday I lie to myself so I think they're still here... While they're not

When you're in his arms
I feel like I'm falling and I'm losing my ground
When you're in his arms
I wish I could turn the time and be with you now

When you're in his arms (when you're in his arms)
I feel like I'm falling (I'm falling)
And I'm losing my ground (losing my ground)
When you're in his arms (when you're in his arms)
I wish I could turn the time and be with you now
When you're in his arms

I closed my eyes, once again imagining the blanket beeing (y/n). Holding the blanket even closer the imagined picture of them in my arms slowly faded, getting replaced by a picture I wish I hadn't seen... Them laying in the arms of Rantaro...

I opened my eyes, just holding onto the blanket, crying, and wishing I could turn back time to erase my biggest mistake...
