Dear Shizu-chan,

Our complex relationship is coming to its

nine year anniversary.

Oh how exciting,

neither of us have been turned into nothing yet.

It's a good guess that you're going to go

looking for me after you read this, yes?

Hehe don't leave this letter yet,

for I have something to tell you.

Hate isn't the feeling that I have for you.

If I tell you what it really is you'd probably think

I'm lying like you always do…

Well I'm not lying when I say I don't hate you,

but really do care about you.

Why am I not saying this to your face?

Like you've said so many times,

I'm too much of a coward to do that.

I love you, Shizuo Heiwajima~

Sincerely,

Your little flea,

Izaya Orihara
