Ruki’s POV
Welcome back, sweet home
Returning place, yeah, thanks for the love
I’m thankful for those years you’ve stood by me despite how I shunned you away time and again. Even though there were many times in the past that I regret having you in my life, now, I never doubt and regret that decision of mine.
Once again, you show your unconcerned feelings
I fill in the colours of sorrow
Regrettably, I laugh
That you believe is so important to me
I understand,
But when you say those things,
I sadly doubt
You used to say those words because you are told to. You were like a machine; you had no mindset of your own, functioning like you were configured to. Every time you said those sweet words - how wonderful I was, how you loved me, how much you needed me - it broke my heart even more, because I know you’d never meant them.
The times when the empty body gets washed away
It starts to seem simple
But you
I want to hold you tight
You awake these feelings in me
Slowly, your behaviour started to change. You seemed to be more… human. No longer like a robot; you start to develop thoughts of your own instead of thoughts that are implanted in you. And when you said those sweet words again, it made my heart quaver. However, how could a robot turn human? It’s impossible. I continued to push you away; my heart has been hurt enough.
Welcome back, I’m home
One word, a fraction of my heart
Welcome back, sweet home
Returning place, yeah, thanks for the love
Sweet home
My apartment was something I used to dread going back to. With only the four walls to surround me, it was more than lonesome. But slowly, no matter how irritating I found you were, I found myself reaching home as soon as I could.
Only I
Think that the grown ups
Are dishonest
But I barely know that there are
People who desperately
Shout these things
Whenever I watched those romance dramas, I would jeer at the women who believed those evil three words from the men. I kept thinking how stupid they are not to see beyond those lies of those men; just like how I am to believe in your words at times. I never realized that along the way, those three words coming out of your mouth held more feelings in them each time.
The happiness of this success kind of
Doesn’t happen, even once
For your sake, I’ve thought this way
These feelings are being stirred up in me
‘Lies, all lies.’ That’s what I convinced myself to think whenever you say those three special words for a special someone every time, because I can’t fall in love with you. Soon you’ll go on your way and I on mine. We’re not meant to be. However, a bitter taste is left on my mouth every time I tell you to shut up.
Welcome back, I’m home
The speed accelerates everyday
Welcome back, sweet home
The scenery is always the same
I’m searching for something I’ve lost
The wound in my heart
The opposing power has changed
Because of your ‘welcome back’
It strikes me one day how heart warming it is, to actually have someone greet you when you reach home when I saw you kneeling on the tatami mat with a wide grin on your face welcoming me back home. The warm feeling overwhelmed me, and slowly, I start to think that maybe - no, positively- we are meant to be together.
Welcome back, I’m home
One word, a fraction of my heart
Welcome back, sweet heart
Returning place, yeah, thanks for the love
A thousand thank yous to you would never be enough for staying by my side, with your heart in your open palms for me to treat. No, I don’t regret letting you tumble into my life; you’ve brightened up my life, you’re my angel from heaven, my prized possession, my gift.
Welcome back, I’m home
I’m ok, because you’re here
Welcome back sweet home
Please wait, because I’ll arrive
Sweet heart
Now, I would be the one to welcome you home with my arms wide open. It is your turn to use me in whatever way you want; no matter what you do I won’t utter a single word about it, except to say loving words. Because I believe in you, I believe that you know the best way to deal with my fragile heart. As long as you are always by my side, I can live on.
Welcome back, sweetheart
“Okaeri, Reita.”
A/N: Inspired by the ending song of jdorama: Zettai Kareshi (Absolute boyfriend), Okaeri by Ayaka. The drama is out until episode 5 already!!! XD This ficlet is also base off from that drama, which would explain the ‘robot’ part. This is my first try in putting in lyrics from the song and writing the story out of the lyrics. Usually I do my fics base on the music more than the lyrics. Along the way, my mind starts floating away, which was why the whole story seems awkward at places =/ It’s a mixed feeling for this fic, I like and dislike it at the same time, lol.
And, sorry for the long wait! i was lazy, tired and busy for the past two months zz. My muses were off on holiday too, but i managed to catch them before they sneaked off to another honey moon =)
