He was not ready to lose her in either world, so he tricked the stars and conspired against the Universe.He loved her in life - he swept her into a portal and loved her in death, and then he sent her back to her world as he continued to linger in his - between life and between death.They told her it was all in her mind. They said that her memories were never real. They locked her away until he found a way back, to her world. Misty-Bleu, "Through all our lifetimes, across so many universes and dimensions, our souls always know each other. You and I, we've loved before, it's just always our bodies that are new. Still, in each form, each age, each universe, and each lifetime, you leave me here without you. I can't do another lifetime without you. I search for you in each existence, when really, my survival has always been in you, and yours in me. Our worlds collide again and again, lifetime after lifetime, body after body. I need to be in a world where you won't leave me again. I've got to be where you are." Misty-Bleu, "The place I go to every time I close my eyes. There where you are. There where I find you again. There where our ancient love comes home to me. There where all other worlds die, and ours lets me live again. With you. There, where we make plans again. There, where you touch my face and hold my hands. There where I can breathe again. There, where you never left, never gone. There where I find you when I no longer want to be awake in my world. The world you sent me back to. The one I've had to live in without you, and hide my tears. The one that crushes my soul and shatters my heart. The world I hate. The one I search for you on empty beaches and crowded streets. The one you've left me in, without you."
