I was sure that, no, I honestly thought that, when given the chance to be rid of me forever, you would have taken it. I was sure I knew you that well. I mean after all I had done to you, beaten you, abused you, screamed at you, in the end making you cry. And when those no longer spilled your tears, I hurt your friends. Turning them into game pieces or into duel monster cards or even sending them to the shadow realm.

It was wrong of me. I realize this now. What I don’t understand is, after all I had done to you, is why. Why you forgave me. Why you stood by me in my time of need. You said it was because you loved me. I’m not going to question you. I’m not sure I can bare it.

Those words opened my eyes. I had seen the truth that night when you confessed your love. You exposed the lies. I was surprised. However, I was raised in a time where the gender of your lover didn’t matter. I realized then where I belonged. I belonged with the one who brought me joy without me even noticing. Watching you, being near you, holding you, those simple joys you gave me.

You know you made right all my wrongs. How you ask? Simply by forgiving me. Your forgiveness changed me. Opening doors inside my heart, inside my soul that I locked many years ago.

You made my real dream come true. My dream of plunging the world into eternal darkness isn’t the dream I speak of. Since before I sold my soul to the darkness I had dreamed of happiness, of a family. Since I never had one of my own. Well… not never… because I did… I think… I cannot remember. I was just a small child when they died. But… you are my family now. My family, my friend, my forever.

You held me up when I could not longer stand. You never let me fall. You could have walked away. Left me just as I had left you so many times in the past. But you didn’t walk away. You smiled and held out your hand. You pulled me from my inner darkness, from the demons in my soul.

I did not realize that it was you seeing me through everything. Every battle, every loss, every heart-wrenching moment, every laugh, every winning moment in my life since the day we met.

I always thought I was stronger than you. I wasn’t. I never was. Your much stronger than me. It takes a strong person to forgive. However, there is more to those words than you realize. When I saw you, with that knife being pressed to your throat… even as I lied bloodied and broken, I found the strength inside of me to stand up and fight. I had to protect you. You had forgiven me and I wasn’t going to let you die. I thought love was weak, but it was love that gave me the power to defeat those who wanted to hurt you.

You said: There is light even in the most darkest of darkness. And that there is darkness in the purest of light.

You were right. You saw the best in me even when I showed you my worst. I spilt the blood of many and still you said there was good in me. And when I couldn’t reach my goal, you pushed me with encouraging words. You had faith in me, you believed in me. I broke free of my inner chains of evil because you loved me.
You helped me spread my wings, and when your hand touched mine I felt as if I could touch the sky. When I gave up on myself, when I lost my faith, you gave it back to me. You believe in me, and you helped me believe in myself. You said the stars were the limit. I could do whatever I wanted with my life.

You didn’t stand behind me, nor in front of me, you stood beside me and I stood tall, and proud. You held my hand and gave me your love. In that moment there was nothing I could not do. Nothing I could not achieve.

I am blessed, every day. Because everyday I wake up to you.
As I lie here, running my fingers through your hair as you sleep. I know you were always there, and you always will be. You are my light. You dispersed the darkness. You saved me. You are my truth. My world is a better place because of you. My life is better because of you.

I am everything I am today because you loved me. Even before I realized I loved you.
And for all of this, I thank you.

My dear Ryou… I do love you. You may never hear me speak those words… but I do.
