total overload all systems down they've got control...
I like this song way too much for my own good. I first heard and bought it about five hours ago, and have listened to it 33 times if this one counts.

A/N: What should be is not always what is fated to be. Infinity-ish but NOT angsty. Also, hey! iambic actually wrote explicitly stated slash! (not explicit, though. Sorry. No mature ratings here.)
It’s not meant to be like this.
I blame you entirely. You and your refusal to back down. You and your eternal closeness, almost touching, never touching - you make it difficult for me to remember to stay aloof. And then you close me out as surely as you invite me in, which hurts all the worse because I know you have no idea what you’re doing. What you do to me.
We two are incompatible, and should not be allowed in such proximity. We cannot manage at this range, and still you press close, determined to satisfy your own curiousity, never realising you’ve piqued mine. I can hear every palpitation of your heart, and it does inescapable things to my mind and body. I don’t want this. It shouldn’t happen this way - you should return to your home and I should continue the escape until I run out of ground. We were never meant to meet.
It is hitsuzen, as the Witch of the Dimensions says, but I can’t help but wonder if hitsuzen can be made to happen. If perhaps it is not fate but intervention that causes the inevitable. If you even know what I’m saying.
It’s not supposed to be like this. I should hate you, and you should hate me. I tried to ensure that, and I suppose that was hitsuzen too. But even hitsuzen has no sway towards matters of the heart, and that is why our contrived closeness is unbearable.
So I don’t hate you for giving me the thing I had given up, and you don’t hate me for making your task so difficult. That must be hitsuzen, too. Is it hitsuzen to shiver at the slightest movement, to tangle myself in other emotion to avoid the underlying counterpart to hate? Did this strange thing happen because we should have hated each other, had hitsuzen not gotten in the way?
I’m afraid every second that you might touch me, and disappointed each time you don’t. And it’s your fault, because I never tried to avoid fate and never tried to do anything but hate you. You were the one to make my plans fall to pieces. You were the one who challenged the inevitable and invited the Witch’s hitsuzen to take the place of what should have been.
