A/N: Well, a reader of "Knight In Pink Satin" asked me for more poetry, so
here you go, people. This is one of my favorites, and it's from Sakura's
POV. Whee, unnecessarily vague symbolism ahead!
"Horizon Boy"
There's a boy on the horizon
Where the mountain meets the sea
But no matter how fast I run
All he says is "Can't catch me!"
So it's just another lousy Monday
Wakin' up late for school
I can't wait for the weekend
When I can stop pretending to be cool
My boy on the horizon
I wish I could see his face
Is he the one who walks by me
Or the one I chase?
Crash down on the sidewalk
If I take a turn too fast
No one here to dry my tears
Save a memory of the past
Gentle fingers that aren't there
Teddy bears and silver light
Faded dreams and pale moonbeams
Brightening the night
Oh, my boy on the horizon
Why can't you wait for me?
Does another catch your eye
Or are we just not meant to be?
Lovely boy on the horizon
Can't you believe what I say?
Won't you ever look at me
And feel the same way?
Days go so slow when you're alone
Yellow sun and silver moon
First romance, and it ended
Much, much too soon
But there's a boy on the horizon
Against the shadow of the sun
And even though I can't believe it
It's me to who he runs
Oh, boy on the horizon
With dark hair and fair-toned skin
I never tried to catch you
Because I never knew I could win
Silly boy on my horizon
Who never dared to ask for more
Did you think my heart didn't beat
In perfect time with yours?
I'm always late on Mondays
It's practically a rule
But I only mind because it means
I can't talk to you before school
'Cause today I'm gonna tell you
Something I've been wanting to say
So listen up, horizon boy
We're doing this right away
There's a boy on the horizon
Where the mountain meets the sea
And no matter how slow I walk
He always waits for me.
