Fear. Not of you. I'm over prejudices and doubts of how good you are. It's for my own life. I see it slipping away in every moment I see you hurting. Not because of wounds that heal instantly but those that run deep and leave ugly scars.
Regret. For not being able to protect you when I said I would. When I know I can. For failing to shield your pure heart. For never telling you a lot of things.
Pain. Like a knife piercing through my soul. Seeing you walk away. Being torn between following you and staying--with my family. I see Yui with questioning look and I don't know what to do. I end up staying.
Lost. As to what to do when I see you engulfed in flames. When I knew I was too late. That I failed in protecting you.
Empty. Not knowing how to feel as I return to the place you called home. As people go back to their normal lives yet I feel nothing. There's a big hole in my heart. I went to the same routine but it's no longer the same.
Hope. That one night when you saved me yet again. As I look up the moon, I smiled.
The next time I saw you, it was in a different place. Different circumstances. You don't intend for us to meet again but fate has a different plan. It's giving me another chance. And this time, I don't want to have regrets.
I smiled. Seeing the same emotionless face. But your eyes speak of depth that I haven't seen in a while. Out of instinct, I hugged you. Happy to have you around again. This time, I won't let you leave.
"Bem-san, sashiburi!" I said when I broke the hug.
"Ah," was all the reply I get. You're trying to contain your emotions. I can see it in your eyes. But I can't contain mine.
"Ano ne," I hesitated before swooping down for a quick kiss. Not giving you time to react or even change your mind. Wide-eyed and pink cheeks, I can't think of anyone more gorgeous.
"Calm down, ok? And don't get mad." You simply nodded. "I'm sorry for not being able to protect you and that you had to leave..."
Whatever I had to say, it was cut-off by another hug. I guess kissing might be too much but hug is ok too. So, I hugged back.
No need to say another word.
Emotions are relayed perfectly.
And that time, I felt nothing but.
Love.
